Just a Minute

Mama, come see what I made!
I rub my face
How many princess forts can a 4 year old make?
"Hold on just a minute" as I'm planning out our day
I wonder how long can I make her wait

Before
"Mama, come see what I can do!"
"Just a minute!" I scream from my bathroom
The only place untouched by legos and markers and tutus
I hide away sometimes to take a breath or two

Mama
You feel so haunted by time
Cuz the days are long, patience short
But the years are passing you quickly by
They say enjoy the moment
While you're standing there in it
Cuz all in all it all feels like
Just a minute

"Mama, can you help me?"
How difficult can math be?
But somehow since you did this last
Math has started changing
It should've taken just a minute
But now you're the one learning

Eating meals and driving 'round
Seems that's all you get see her now
Another day, another cold shower
Cuz to her a minute is more like an hour

Mama
You feel so haunted by time
Cuz the days are long, patience short
But the years are passing you quickly by
They say enjoy the moment
While you're standing there in it
Cuz all in all it all feels like
Just a minute

The dichotomy of sanity and sobriety
In every minute
It blurs my vision

Telling her to wait just a minute
But all it takes is just a minute
For them to make these messes
And leave me standing there in them
Telling her to wait just a minute
But all it takes is just a minute
For them to make these memories
And leave me here with them

Telling her to wait just a minute
But all it takes is just a minute
For them to make these messes
And leave me standing there in them
Telling her to wait just a minute
But all it takes is just a minute
For them to make these memories
And leave me here with them

Mama
You feel so haunted by time
Cuz the days are long, patience short
But the years are passing you quickly by
They say enjoy the moment
While you're standing there in it
Cuz all in all it all feels like
Ya, all in all it all feels like
All in all it all feels like
Just a minute
