The days go slow but the years fly by

Life's too short so don't wait too long

There's a fear inside and it hurts to tell
Acknowledges an internal fear and the difficulty of expressing emotions that may have a painful impact.
That I could do it all and never love you well
Reflects on the potential regret of accomplishing various things but failing to love deeply.
And when I come to the end of my days
Imagines contemplating life choices and missed opportunities as one approaches the end of their life.
I'd think of all the things I could have changed

I'll make the most of my time

If I could catch a moment in an hourglass
If there was a way to capture a specific moment, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
If we stood still would time still pass
Ponders whether time would still progress if everything stood still, questioning the essence of existence.
Take my hand and we'll walk this road
An invitation to share the journey of life together, holding hands as a symbol of unity.
Only God knows where we'll go
Recognition that the ultimate destination of life is unknown and only known to a higher power.
Cause if the past stays true

I can't hold you forever

Well the days go slow but the years fly by

And life's too short for wasting time
