(Verse 1)

I’m walking slow through the noise of the day,

Everyone rushing like they’re trapped in a race.

They talk about goals, about dreams, about fate,

But I’m still trying to breathe in my own quiet space.

(Pre-Chorus)

Feels like the world is spinning way too fast,

Everyone planning out years that haven’t passed.

But I’m stuck here, holding on to the present like a lifeline—

Trying not to fall behind.

(Chorus)

Can’t the future just wait?

I’m not ready for the choices I’m supposed to make.

Everyone says I’ll figure it out someday,

But right now, I just need today.

Can’t the future slow down,

Stop pushing on me like a runaway train?

Let me stand still without feeling the weight—

Please, can’t the future just wait?

(Rap 1)

어디로 가라는 듯한 시선들 속에

나는 그대로인데 모두 앞서가네

미래란 단어가 왜 이렇게 무겁지

내 속도대로 가고 싶은데 왜 겁이 나지

“괜찮아질 거야” 말은 쉽지

아직 난 길 위에서 헤매는 새끼

시간은 나를 밀어붙여 but I say wait—

지금 이 순간 놓치기 싫어, just let me stay.

(Verse 2)

I hear the clock ticking loud in my ear,

Like it’s asking why I’m still standing here.

People with answers keep telling me “just be brave,”

But they don’t see the battles I’m trying to save.

(Pre-Chorus)

Maybe I’ll grow, maybe I’ll learn in time,

Maybe tomorrow won’t feel like a climb.

But I’m tired of pretending I’m fine when I’m not—

Trying to hold what little I’ve got.(Chorus)

Can’t the future just wait?

I’m not ready for the choices I’m supposed to make.

Everyone says I’ll figure it out someday,

But right now, I just need today.

Can’t the future slow down,

Stop pushing on me like a runaway train?

Let me stand still without feeling the weight—

Please, can’t the future just wait?

(Rap 2 — Bridge Style)

잠깐만, 잠깐만, 너무 빨라 세상은

멈추고 싶어도 멈출 수가 없다는 게 잔인해

내일을 향해 뛰라지만 나 지금도 버거워

숨 먼저 고르고 싶어, 그게 뭐가 어려워

걱정이 가득 쌓여 목까지 차도

나는 천천히 갈래, 그게 나니까

미래야 기다려, 난 아직 준비 안 됐어

내 걸음대로 걸을래—don’t make me move faster.

(Final Chorus)

Can’t the future just wait?

Let me stay here where the world feels safe.

Everyone grows at a different kind of rate,

So let me take my own pathway.

Can’t the future slow down,

Give me time to find what I’m meant to create?

Let me stand still without feeling afraid—

Please… can’t the future just wait?
