Liner Notes

This is a song idea that I've been working off and on for years, I've never been happy with what I've come up with. I feel I'm lacking in the skills to properly do it justice.
This version is the closest I can get to that for now, maybe in the future it might evolve even more until the muse can be satisfied.

Lyrics

Time is a tortoise

Woke up this morning, Turned up the heat
Splashed some water on my face, then I brushed my teeth
Fed the cats and ignore the morning news
There’s no point in doing anything without you

Time is a tortoise, A slow burn,
A fish on the ocean surface
Time is important, we all yearn
to spend it with a bigger purpose
but without you, without you
Time doesn’t exist

Still find I’m looking, to move closer
Confetti questions in the air, is not really closure
My regrets, leave me shaking in this pew
There’s no point in doing anything without you

Time is a tortoise, A slow burn,
A fish on the ocean surface
Time is important, we all yearn
to spend it with a bigger purpose
but without you, without you
Time doesn’t exist

Now here I’m sitting, right on the edge
Surrendering what I don’t dare, I’ll wait for you
Every breath I still have left I’ll always choose
There’s no point in doing anything without you

Time is a tortoise, A slow burn,
A fish on the ocean surface
Time is important, we all yearn
to spend it with a bigger purpose
but without you, without you
Time doesn’t exist
