Verse 1
Just a boy beside the window
Watching clouds begin to fade
Every sunset feels much quicker
Than it did the day before today
I still draw stars upon my notebook
Still believe they know my name
But the hands upon the old clock
Never seem to stay the same

Pre-Chorus
And I wonder where the slow days go
The summer nights I used to know
Why every year moves faster than the last

Chorus
If time could hear me calling
Would it slow its wings tonight
Would it stay beside a young boy
Dreaming underneath the light
There’s a thousand songs inside me
A million roads I want to find
I’m afraid of growing older
Before I’ve had the chance to shine
If time runs softly
Maybe I’ll be alright

Verse 2
Mama says the world keeps turning
Even when we’re standing still
Every memory becomes a picture
No matter how hard you try to feel
I wanna build a life worth singing
Fill the skies with melodies
Hold onto the sound of laughter
Before it disappears from me

Pre-Chorus
Cause every moment leaves so fast
Like footprints washing from the sand
And I’m trying just to hold them in my hands

Chorus
If time could hear me calling
Would it slow its wings tonight
Would it stay beside a young boy
Dreaming underneath the light
There’s a thousand songs inside me
A million roads I want to find
I’m afraid of growing older
Before I’ve had the chance to shine
If time runs softly
Maybe I’ll be alright

Bridge
(orchestra swells — choir enters softly)
One day these streets will change
And I may change too
But somewhere in the music
A child still sings the truth
So let the moment linger
Before the daylight fades
Cause even little heartbeats
Can echo through the ages

Final Chorus — Full Cinematic Lift
If time could hear us singing
Maybe it would slow tonight
Maybe every dream we’re holding
Could survive beyond the light
There’s a fire in the young hearts
That the years
