Lyrics No Time - Patio

No Time

Take a minute, take a minute
Look around for a minute
There is nothing to see
I’m only asking for ten of your seconds
Another couple fistfuls of your time
Is this how you’re going to be?
Look left, right, down, bottom, around
Jump, constantly moving forward
Keeping an eye on all sides
I feel like I’m throwing rocks
Through every open door and open window
Someone tipped you off
You took all your time to hide
Patiently defying hate
Waiting for the day to end
Clearly, you took the bait
Doesn’t matter, I’m late again
And I don’t have the time
To wait and watch you redraw lines
And make excuses, 'cause you know as well as I
This is no time for rants and raves and broken, blown-out ruses
I, I, I
I will grit my teeth and close my eyes
Now it seems like you’ve decided to make time
I, I, I guess I should feel less surprised
Take a minute, take some time
To build this studied, practiced emotional distance
Once more in the thick of it
I guess I’m getting the hang of counting backwards from a hundred
But I guess it’s probably too late for me to learn to read a clock
