🕰️Five More Minutes— When you’re not ready for the night to end.

Verse 1 You’re waiting underneath the streetlight, I’m running late again tonight, Books in my arms, my head is spinning, But there you are, and I’m alright. You take the weight right off my shoulders, Say, “Come on, I’ll carry you,” I laugh and tell you not to drop me, Like I always know you’ll do. Pre-Chorus There’s always somewhere I should be, Another thing I have to do, But when the whole world asks for me, I only want a little time with you. Chorus Give me five more minutes, Don’t let the night move on, Five more minutes Before I have to be gone. Let the city keep on rushing, Let tomorrow wait outside, Give me five more minutes With your hand holding mine. If five is all that we can have, Then five is enough tonight. Verse 2 Two movie tickets in your backpack, You never told me they were there, You say, “It really doesn’t matter,” Like disappointment isn’t there. And suddenly I see the evenings You gave away to wait for me, All the quiet little moments I was too tired to see. Pre-Chorus I’m trying hard to chase my future, You’re trying not to hold me back, But somewhere between now and someday, I’m scared of all the time we lack. Chorus So give me five more minutes, Don’t let the night move on, Five more minutes Before I have to be gone. Let the city keep on rushing, Let tomorrow wait outside, Give me five more minutes With your hand holding mine. If five is all that we can have, Then five is enough tonight. Bridge One… Two… Three… You tap my hand so quietly. One… Two… Three… Like saying, You’re still here with me. Maybe someday we’ll have mornings With nowhere else we have to go, But tonight the clock keeps moving, So hold me close and let it slow. Final Chorus Give me five more minutes, I know they won’t stay long, Five more minutes Before the moment’s gone. I can’t promise I’ll stop running, I can’t make the world stand still, But if you’re sitting here beside me, I’ll choose these minutes while I can. Give me five more minutes, Before tomorrow starts— Sometimes five more minutes Is enough to hold two hearts. Outro One… two… three… Five more minutes here with me.
