Five More Minutes

from Fast Forward by Above the Mendoza

lyrics

He arrives and rushes through the door
His laces tied, his Fozzieris sweep the floor
Back at home there's a set of twins laying quiet in their crib
But he's working late just for bonus pay
He can't appreciate it, instead he just needs

Five more minutes, pushing limits,
Pick up the pace, or prepare yourself for the wrath you'll face
We live in fast forward, don't take time, just ignore
It's all insanity, but if time stood still
Would the world say "Seize the Day"

Monday there's a soccer game, on tuesday parent conferences
And teaching them guitar
And before he blinks he lifts his head and they're off driving in a car
But he's busy working overtime, making a precious dime
He doesn't realize now, can't lift his head
He's laying on his death bed, wishing he had

Five more minutes, pushing limits,
Pick up the pace, or prepare yourself for the wrath you'll face
We live in fast forward, don't take time, just ignore
It's all insanity, but if time stood still
Would the world say "Seize the Day"

He arrives, and sits outside the door
Wishing he had five more
Or another day, wish he could find a way
There's so much left to say
But his time is now
