One small task
You planned the list, and the list was a mile long.
Then time did what time does: slipped through like water, stole the whole day with one small task that expanded to fill every hour you had.
It didn’t have to.
It was just one small task.

Lyrics
[instrumental] [Verse 1] Woke up this morning thought I'd get ahead Times a fiend fills me with dread Planned to get things done list a mile long But the hours play tricks they do me wrong [Pre-Chorus] Time slips through my fingers like water in a stream Im lost in the hours, caught in a dream [Chorus] Cant judge the minutes, they play tricks on me One small task can steal the whole day from me Whole days a blur, order hidden from me Time's a trickster, passing invisibly to me Tick tick tick Ephemeral Tick tick tick Ive drifted again [Verse 2] Misjudged the drive thought I'd make it on time Every seconds a gamble every minute's a climb I start a project think Ive got plenty of space But time keeps shifting leaves me out of place [Pre-Chorus] Time slips through my fingers like water in a stream Im lost in the hours, caught in a dream [Chorus] Cant judge the minutes, they play tricks on me One small task can steal the whole day from me Whole days a blur, order hidden from me Time's a trickster, passing invisibly to me [key change] [Bridge] I set alarms, make plans with care But times elusive, leaves me unaware In a world that runs on seconds and hours Im stumbling through, stumbling through [Chorus] Cant judge the minutes, they play tricks on me One small task can steal the whole day from me Whole days a blur, order hidden from me Time's a trickster, passing invisibly to me [instrumental Outro]
