Little More Time
Eternal Moments: A Reflection on Love and Time in 'Little More Time' by Taylor Link
Lyrics
I count the beats til' I feel weak
I monitor the heartbeats until I become physically weak.
Dizzy from your pulse against my cheek
Feeling lightheaded due to the rhythm of your heartbeat against my cheek.
I've never felt quite like this before
I've never experienced a sensation like this before.
But you're not as innocent as me
You are not as innocent as me.
You're not as young, or as naive
You are not as young or inexperienced.
You tell me that you've been here before
You claim to have been in a similar situation before.
If I had a little more time
If I had more time available.
If I had a little more time with you
If I had additional time with you.
I close my eyes, you're sitting there
I close my eyes, imagining you present.
Hot and sticky summer air
Recalling a hot and humid summer atmosphere.
Two strangers on a porch in the rain
Two unfamiliar individuals on a porch in the rain.
And the sky, it opened up and fell
The sky opened up and rain fell.
You are the sweetest pain that I've ever felt
You are the most delightful pain I have ever experienced.
You are an honest truth I wouldn't change
You represent an honest truth that I wouldn't alter.
And even then I feel my whole world's spinning
Even in those moments, I feel my entire world spinning.
Careful not to fall too fast
Being cautious not to fall too quickly.
And it always feels like this in the beginning
This feeling is consistent in the early stages of a relationship.
You just have to hope it lasts
You just have to hope that it endures.
If I had a little more time
If I had more time available.
If I had a little more time with you
If I had additional time with you.
I'd take my time
I would take my time.
I'd take my time with you
I would spend time slowly with you.
I was young and I didn't know you could love someone and still let them go
I was young and unaware that you could love someone and still let them go.
Not every gift in life is yours to keep
Not every valuable thing in life is meant to be kept.
Sometimes I wonder how I got this far
At times, I reflect on how I reached this point.
With a broken heart and all these scars
With a broken heart and numerous scars.
But something keeps me landing on my feet
Yet, something keeps me resilient.
If I had a little more time
If I had more time available.
If I had a little more time with you
If I had additional time with you.
I'd take my time
I would take my time.
I'd take my time with you
I would spend time slowly with you.
