Once Time Moved Too Slow

(MY HEART AND SOUL GOES INTO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE LYRICS.

ITS MY HOPE THAT EVEN IF ONE PERSON READS IT AND IS AFFECTED IN SOME POSITIVE WAY, THEN I HAVE DONE WHAT I SET OUT TO DO.

SOMETIMES ITS ABOUT OPENING UP OLD FEELINGS AND FOND MEMORIES.

WHILE OTHER TIMES IT MAY EXPLAIN BETTER THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT SOMEONE SPECIAL. EITHER WAY ITS ALWAYS ABOUT LIFE)

ONCE TIME MOVED TOO SLOW

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

JULY 1, 2018

HERE IT IS

IN ALL ITS COLORFUL GLORY

SOMETIMES BLACK AND WHITE

HERE IT IS OUR LIFE

COME TOGETHER, COME APART

WAITING FOR IT ALL TO START

STARTING OVER GETS EASIER

OR DOES IT

FREEDOM GNAWING AT YOUR HEART

TAUNT YOU, HAUNT YOU

SPIT YOU OUT THE OTHER SIDE

THE PENDULUM SWINGS

DON'T FORGET TO DUCK

SO IT DOESN'T FIND YOU

REMIND YOU WHY YOU'RE HERE

COME TOGETHER KEEP IT THERE

LIKE WALKING ON A CRUMBLING WALL

PUT THE WORK IN

 AND YOU WON'T FALL 

NOTHING ELSE IS GONNA GO WRONG

STRAIGHT FORWARD FROM HERE ON

UP IN THE AIR, OPEN TO DISCUSSION

THERE'S NONE OF THAT THERE

TAKE ME TO THE FUTURE

ONE DAY AT A TIME

SEE IF I LIKE IT, I WOULDN'T MIND

I'LL GET WHAT I DESERVE

AS LONG AS I THINK SO

ONCE TIME MOVED TO SLOW

THE THINGS I'D WISHED I'D KNOWN

NOW IT GOES TOO FAST

 TO WANT IT SLOW

THE MORE YOU WISH

THE FASTER IT ALL GOES

UNDER THE BLUEST SKY

THE DAY CAN TURN DARK AS NIGHT

PEACE CAN BREAK OUT INTO A FIGHT

EXPECT SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY

BREAK UP THE MONOTONY

BUT AT WHO'S EXPENSE

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE SENSE

RIGHT TIME, WRONG PLACE

YOU'VE BEEN THERE HAD A TASTE

SWORE YOU'RE NEVER GOING BACK

AND WOULDN'T IT BE NICE

IF ALL WISHES CAME TRUE

NOW YOU'RE FIXING BROKEN RAINBOWS

ONCE TIME MOVED TOO SLOW

YOUR INNOCENCE COULDN'T KNOW

ONCE IT IT GETS STARTED

YOU CAN'T LET GO

EACH MEMORY SAFELY TUCKED AWAY

LOCKED INTO THE RACE

YA HERE IT IS IN ALL OF ITS

COLORFUL GLORY

MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL STORY
