Save for later

[Verse 1]
Papers piled on my desk today
Picking through the past that slipped away
Letters that I meant to send to you
Little things I promised I would do
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Pre-chorus]
Time ticks forward, never back
Counting moments off the track

[Chorus]
Why do we save our words for tomorrow?
Borrow time we cannot borrow
Should have said it all before
Now I'm talking to a closed door
(La-la-la, words for tomorrow)

[Verse 2]
By the window with your tattered book
Waiting there with that patient look
Tea gets cold while hours pass
Thinking every car that drives is mine at last
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Pre-chorus]
Time ticks forward, never back
Counting moments off the track

[Chorus]
Why do we save our words for tomorrow?
Borrow time we cannot borrow
Should have said it all before
Now I'm talking to a closed door
(La-la-la, words for tomorrow)

[Breakdown]
Precious perfect moments passing by
Pushing off the truth until goodbye
(Oh, oh)

[Rap]
Listen up, I've got something to confess
Been keeping all these feelings bottled up inside my chest
Procrastinating conversations, making weak excuses
While time keeps running, leaving nothing but these useless
Words inside my head, should've been said instead
Now they're weighing down like anchors made of lead
Mama sitting patient while I lived life fast
Never thought those simple moments wouldn't last

[Bridge]
Speak your truth while time allows
Break the silence here and now
Don't wait until the day is done
When all that's left is "should have done"

[Final Chorus]
Why do we save our words for tomorrow?
Borrow time we cannot borrow
Should have said it all before
Now I'm talking to a closed door
(La-la-la, these words were meant for yesterday)

[Outro]
Papers piled, words unsaid
Memories playing in my head
(Oh, oh, oh...)
