Ten Minutes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On my screen, your name lights up Half a world, one small chat You say, “How’s your mother?” I say, “She still loves bad weather” Your window’s cracked, mine is too Same old shoes, same tired news But you laugh at my shaky joke And I breathe like I forgot [Pre-Chorus] Ten minutes, that’s all No flags, no walls Just a voice, a face, a day And the fear starts to fade [Chorus] Ten minutes, ten minutes We could be known Ten minutes, ten minutes Strangers to home Estoy aquí, je suis là I’m here, I’m here Ten minutes, ten minutes Brings us near [Verse 2] You’re online after midnight I’m up early with the rain We play the same old game You cover me, I do the same Your little brother calls your name My dog barks through the door You pause to eat, I pause to pray For the ones we’re waiting for [Pre-Chorus] Ten minutes, that’s all No side, no wall Just a truth we both can keep In the crack of the week [Chorus] Ten minutes, ten minutes We could be known Ten minutes, ten minutes Strangers to home Estoy aquí, je suis là I’m here, I’m here Ten minutes, ten minutes Brings us near [Bridge] If you lost your work, your sleep Your train, your way back home If your heart got loud with blame You’re still not made of stone Send me one small honest thing A recipe, a scar, a song And I’ll send mine right back Till the distance feels less long [Final Chorus] Ten minutes, ten minutes We could be known Ten minutes, ten minutes Strangers to home Estoy aquí, je suis là I’m here, I’m here Ten minutes, ten minutes Brings us near Ten minutes, ten minutes Say it again Ten minutes, ten minutes We can begin
