Lyrics
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
