Official lyrics for Time is a gift.

Time is a gift

Time on loan, I ain't wasting a sec
If I'm there with you, that's a sign of respect
No fake love, I don't deal indirect
Last goodbye could be the one you regret

Tick-tock… yeah I clock that now
Didn't back then, I was lost in my head
Took small talks, never thought they'd end
Now I replay what we said instead

Had last laughs I ain't clock as last
Quick link-ups, all moving too fast
Now I'd trade just to get that back
Five more minutes… yeah, just like that

Some drift off, no reason, just gone
Some switched sides, now the energy's wrong
Some names I can't ring no more
Just memories stuck in a voice note form

Yeah… I learned it the hard way still
Every moment's got weight, that's real

Time on loan, I ain't wasting a sec
If I'm there with you, that's a sign of respect
No fake love, I don't deal indirect
Last goodbye could be the one you regret

I was close… yeah, close to the edge
Life on tilt, one step from the ledge
Too far gone, couldn't see what's next
Had a trip, thought I faced my death

Everything hit all at once, no pause
Missed calls, chances I ignored
Every "next time," every "not today"
Came back round, had me stuck like—wait

Felt that end like it's set in stone
Cold, no way back, just me alone
Then I woke up, heart beat stressed
Told myself I ain't living with regrets

Time on loan, I ain't wasting a sec
If I'm there with you, that's a sign of respect
No fake love, I don't deal indirect
Last goodbye could be the one you regret

Now I show up, I don't say "I might"
If I rate you, you get my time
No half-steps, no maybe vibes
I'm fully there, no split mind

Some I lost and I can't repair
Said too late what I should've shared
That weight stays, yeah I hold that still
So I speak now with intent, no chill

If you're here, then you already know
I give time, that's the realest show
Not just words or a quick "you good?"
But time well spent like it always should

Time on loan… don't waste that chance
Say it early, don't leave it to chance
If they're here now, don't let it pass
'Cause any moment could be the last
