Tried to chase down the future
Tried to save up the past
But these minutes kept falling like sand through the hourglass
Tried to freeze it in pictures
Nail it down with my plans
But no memory ever sat next to me holding my hand
Like you're holding my hand
Let's cancel our plans
Take in the view
Just sit around here with nothing to do
Time's never wasted on you
It's how you pour out the coffee
How you cry when you laugh
It's the way you get dizzy whenever you get up too fast
Now I notice the small things
So, I'm leaning in close
'Cause the littlest moments are the ones that matter the most
Let's cancel our plans
Take in the view
Just sit around here with nothing to do
Time's never wasted on you
So, let's slow down
Be here right now
Cancel our plans
Take in the view
Just sit around here with nothing to do
I've got all day because
Time's never wasted on you
Time's never wasted on you
Time's never wasted on you
