Odyssey (Little More Time)

One weekend left, got ten pages due
But imma hunker down and work on through
Gotta lock my door, shut myself in
Gonna be a hard fight but I know I can win

I look over to my phone, it's calling my name
Gotta get that high score on the newest mobile game
Notifications coming in left and right
Gotta see what's happening, what I'm missing tonight
And I think I might check and see
'Cause it's almost speaking to me

Why don't you take just a little more time, a little more time here
Stay for a little while longer and forget what looms near
All your worries, dissolved,
All your troubles, resolved
Whatever you have to do
Why it can wait for you if you spend time, just a little more time, a little more time here
If life is getting stormy, we can make it disappear
You're like a host, though you're our guest
So let us delightfully infest
And occupy the rest
Rest of your time
(Keep on scrollin', keep on clickin', rest of your time, as time passes by...)

I look up, three hours gone by
Grazing through my phone, how time can fly
Still staring at a blank doc, don't know what to write
But I know I'm gonna be here all damn night
Parents knock on my door, come crashin' in, screamin'
"Get back on task!" phone brought out, my tears streamin'
I sobered up, gave myself a command
There's no time to lose do the task at hand

I open up a new tab, pull up Reddit
Haven't even started drafting, let alone an edit
I feel no joy, but no remorse
Even though I'm being driven way off-course
And going 'long these stormy seas
The Web, it's calling to me

Why don't you take just a little more time, a little more time here
Stay for a little while longer and forget what looms near
All your worries, dissolved,
All your troubles, resolved
Whatever you have to do
Why it can wait for you if you spend time, just a little more time, a little more time here
If life is getting stormy, we can make it disappear
You're like a host, though you're our guest
So let us delightfully infest
And occupy the rest
Rest of your time

The past hours were a struggle, but I think I succeeded
I wrote a whole paper, now I just gotta read it
The effort was long and I barely made it
'Gainst the worst distraction ever created
(I took just a little more time, a little more time)
Feeling at ease without the need for a screen
(I made just a little more time, a little more time)
It feels right, being done for the night
(I saved just a little more time, a little more time
And in good time, I'll have more time)
