Time

I'm the last of my friends to succeed
They're always passing over me
I relate to end-of-autumn leaves
Resisting, hanging on to their trees
She refuses to fall but it's inevitable
But I think I could use just one miracle
Yellow flowers right under my nose
It's my party and I'll send myself home

The time I spend in my own mind
Could fill another person's life
Coffee, tea, and favorite music
Little brothers, and dads who grew sick
Inside the gates of hell and well-being
Is where you'll find the secret meaning
I really hope you get it, I don't know it myself yet

People think my hair's an off-red
Didn't choose the color or choose to be exhausted
Never been something you wanted
But summer's my time so maybe I'm not so haunted
I wear rings so my hands can feel tough
And I wear mom's old clothes out of love
I run cold, that's why I run into the arms of my friends
I love hard, that's why all my relationships end

The time I spend in my own mind
Could fill another person's life
Coffee, tea, and favorite music
Little brothers, and dads who grew sick
Inside the gates of hell and well-being
Is where you'll find the secret meaning
I really hope you get it, I don't know it myself yet

I don't like the optics
No second options
I must be locked in too much
'Cause I think it's careless to act like I care less
Don't recognize my name on the bottles I pick up

The time I spend in my own mind
Could fill another person's life
Coffee, tea, and favorite music
Little brothers, and dads who grew sick
Inside the gates of hell and well-being
Is where you'll find the secret meaning
I really hope you get it, I don't know it myself
Yet
