[Verse 1]
Time is just a game I play
It's written on the ocean's waves
Circling beyond my brain
Something I could not contain
Something I could not contain

[Verse 2]
I know it and I cannot stray
The part of me I cannot break
The loss of you beyond the gray
I'm sticking to the chosen ways
I'm sticking to the chosen ways

[Chorus]
I picture you inside my brain
Reminding me to say my grace
Reminding me to be amazed
I missed you by a couple days
I missed you by a couple days

[Verse 3]
How much of you is who I'll be?
How much of us is in between
What is and what is yet to be?
And can I hold the mystery?
I cannot hold the mystery
[Verse 4]
To think that you were once like me
To think that I will be like you
To think that I will be consumed
To know that I remain confused
To always see the world in bloom

[Chorus]
To see it like you taught me to
To know that I will be amazed
I missed you by a couple days
I missed you by a couple days
Show me how to find my place
To love the world as it remains
I cannot know the time it takes
I missed you by a couple days
I missed you by a couple days
