"A Little More Time" lyrics

Turns out you were right
You can learn a lot from losing
Things change overnight
When the record stops moving

Now I'm running 'round in circles
Tryin' hard to find
A little less "miss you"
And a little more time

I used to ask for the world
Now I just want you in it
I'd fold all my cards
And start holding all the minutes

I wish that I had tried
Before we had to say goodbye
For a little less "miss you"
And a little more time

A little more "Hey. I'm coming home"
A little less talking on the phone
One more "Dad, can I drive home on a Sunday morning?"
Is that you out in the breeze
I hear whistling through the trees
It's like I'm looking everywhere for one more story

Turns out you were right
That it all goes by so quickly
When I pray with him at night
Oh, I know the boy is listening

It's the closest that I get
When I see you in his eyes
To a little less "miss you"
And a little more time
