Remember to Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window A half-read page beside the chair The morning kept its quiet promise But you were already somewhere I found a ticket in your jacket From a train we missed by two Funny how a little paper Can carry a whole afternoon [Pre-Chorus] So if the days keep moving faster If every name becomes a blur I’ll hold the details close enough To know they once were ours [Chorus] Remember to time The minutes we’re given The turn of your head The way you said my name Remember to time Not everything’s written Some moments disappear Before they look the same [Verse 2] The old house rang with Sunday dishes Your brother laughing down the hall We thought the afternoon was endless We never counted it at all Now every photograph is talking In colors softer than before I see the dust above the table And miss what I was rushing for [Pre-Chorus] So if the days keep moving faster If every name becomes a blur I’ll hold the details close enough To know they once were ours [Chorus] Remember to time The minutes we’re given The turn of your head The way you said my name Remember to time Not everything’s written Some moments disappear Before they look the same [Bridge] Put down the phone, stay by the doorway Let the kettle cool, let the evening wait There’s no prize for arriving early To a life that’s already changed [Final Chorus] Remember to time The minutes we’re given The hand in your hand The light across your face Remember to time While the world keeps spinning Love is a small thing We save by giving it space [Outro] The coffee’s cold by the window The page is turned, but I still know Remember to time Remember to time
