Lyrics
Woke up chasing a dream I forgot overnight,
Running circles in a war I don't wanna fight.
They tell me, “Clock in, work hard, make your way,”
But I’m just trying to make it through another incredible day.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bills stack up, and the years slip past,
One blink, childhood's gone too fast.
So why am I racing to some finish line,
When the grave’s the only prize that we all find?
[Chorus]
In the minutes of an hour, I wanna breathe, not just survive,
Feel the sun on my skin, watch the world come alive.
All the stress, all the pain—man, it don’t mean a thing,
We’re just echoes in the air when the church bells ring.
[Verse 2]
We measure success in dollars and screens,
But no one dies wishing for more machines.
We build up walls, lock our hearts inside,
Then wonder why the world feels so fantastically tired.
[Pre-Chorus]
Lies on the news, fear in the street,
They keep us running, chasing defeat.
But I won’t waste these precious days,
I’d rather burn out bright than fade away.
[Chorus]
In the minutes of an hour, I wanna breathe, not just survive,
Feel the sun on my skin, watch the world come alive.
All the stress, all the pain—man, it don’t mean a thing,
We’re just echoes in the air when the church bells ring.
[Bridge]
So dance like the whole world’s ending tonight,
Love like you’ll never say goodbye.
Take a risk, break the chain,
Let the clock run wild, let it go insane.
[Final Chorus]
In the minutes of an hour, I won’t bow, I won’t kneel,
I wanna live every second, I wanna taste what’s real.
They can keep their rules, their weight, their chains,
I’ll be laughing in the rain, screaming out my name.
[Outro]
We’re all just stories, dust in the wind,
So why not live like we’ll never end?
Minutes of an hour, they go so fast…
Better make ‘em count before they’re past.
