Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The screen door creaks, it's barely hanging on,
Sunset's painting shadows long.
Mama's voice floats from the kitchen air,
I stop to listen, but I'm not really there.
She says, "Sit a spell, there's pie on the stove,"
But I've got places, places to go.

[Chorus]
Just a little more time, that's all I need,
To feel the roots beneath my feet.
To hear the crickets in the night's slow hum,
And let the past and present run.
But the clock keeps ticking, life won't wait,
Just a little more time before it's too late.

[Verse 2]
The porch light flickers, moths circle 'round,
Stars wink at the edges of this old town.
Dad's boots rest, by his favourite chair,
His famous laughter hangs faintly everywhere.

I tell myself there's always tomorrow,
But the truth is heavy, and time can't borrow
The seasons change, the leaves still fall,
But I can't stop the hands at all.

[Chorus]
Just a little more time, that's all I need,
To feel the roots beneath my feet.
To hear the crickets in the night's slow hum,
And let the past and present run.
But the clock keeps ticking, life won't wait,
Just a little more time before it's too late.

[Bridge]
If I could freeze this night, hold it tight,
Catch fireflies and keep their light.
Life's moments slip like water through my hands,
Drifting to places, no one, understands.

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

[Chorus]
Just a little more time, that's all I need,
To feel the roots beneath my feet.
To hear the crickets in the night's slow hum,
And let the past and present run.
But the clock keeps ticking, life won't wait,
Just a little more time before it's too late.

[Chorus ending]
Just a little more time, that's all I need,
To feel the roots beneath my feet.
To hear the crickets in the night's slow hum,
And let the past and present run.
But the clock keeps ticking, life won't wait,
Just a little more time before it's too late.
