IT JUST TAKES TIME

On the ropes again, chasing myself around my head.
Twelve angry souls just trying to get a word in.
Seldom do they back down, and the result is to numb out.
Going through it on my own cause I’m afraid to bring it up.

I’ve got my mother’s overthinking and my father’s discontent with everything.
Mix it up with my millennial angst and ceaseless wondering.
Maybe I’ll even out, runway lights shining through the clouds.
Pick myself up off the floor and move along.

It just, it just takes time, but what if time isn’t on my side?
It just, it just takes time.
Repeat on a loop, counting sheep to sleep at night.

An education in studies that never seem to find resolve.
A home, a roof, a bed, a fence but no dog.
Maybe it’ll all work out, a periscope through a sea of doubt.
Restless to a point of catching fire.

It just, it just takes time, but what if time isn’t on my side?
It just, it just takes time.
Repeat on a loop, counting sheep to sleep at night.

And if it takes all my life… It just takes time.

It just, it just takes time, but what if time isn’t on my side?
It just, it just takes time.
Repeat on a loop, counting sheep to sleep at night.
