Catching Up

[Intro] A city drips in streetlight gold, clock hands whispering late [Verse 1] Rain on glass, the second slips away, a breath behind the hour hand Neon halos fade as footsteps slow, I mend the thread of time I’ve scanned Skyscraper silhouettes hold their tongues, the night keeps score in quiet blue But in the hush I lace my shoes, I promise to begin anew [Chorus] I’ll outrun the slow seconds, keep my pulse in time with dawn This moment isn’t lost, just waiting to be drawn If the street forgets our names, I’ll write them back in the rain I’m catching up, redefining now, again [Verse 2] Taxi lamps blur into a memory of plans mislaid, then reshape A map of options blooms in mist, resilience learning to recreate Feet find rhythm on the pavement’s edge, where courage meets the open air The city blinks, and I reply with steps that say I’m still prepared [Chorus] I’ll outrun the slow seconds, keep my pulse in time with dawn This moment isn’t lost, just waiting to be drawn If the street forgets our names, I’ll write them back in the rain I’m catching up, redefining now, again [Bridge] Between the glitches of the clock, a steady vow grows bright To breathe through hesitation, turn pressure into light [Chorus] I’ll outrun the slow seconds, keep my pulse in time with dawn This moment isn’t lost, just waiting to be drawn If the street forgets our names, I’ll write them back in the rain I’m catching up, redefining now, again [Outro] The night loosens its grip as I choose to begin, anew, again
