Don't Trade Now

[Verse 1] It showed up once like a paper cut of lightning on the edge of your afternoon A bus door hissed a name got called and the whole block changed its tune A dropped key spun under a cereal box beside a parking meter’s scar You almost walked straight past that turn with your head still where you are [Pre-Chorus] But the clock won't circle back it only sheds one skin If you blink through the crack you let the whole thing in [Chorus] Open wide Pull it with all your might Let it hit your sight Open your ears Open your mind Catch it before it’s gone tonight Open wide Open up Let the moment land One small spark one hard truth fits inside your hand [Verse 2] It may arrive in a receipt curled tight or a song from a cracked-open car In a stairwell pause in a half-said word in a stain on a glass jar It calls your name from the other side of a door you never planned to use Not every path comes back around some paths are made to choose [Pre-Chorus] So stay there now with your weight on still and your whole self lit with care What passes once won’t pass again if you aren’t really there [Chorus] Open wide Open stride Let it hit your sight Open your ears Open your mind Catch it before it’s gone tonight Open wide Open fully Let the moment land One small spark one hard truth fits inside your hand [Bridge] There’s a version of you in another hour already turning at the sign Hands full of what you almost kept and a face that knew the line So don’t trade now for later on like later owns the room The rarest thing can leave so fast it doesn’t make a boom [Final Chorus] Open wide Open fine Let it hit your sight Open your ears Open your mind Catch it before it’s gone tonight Open wide Open wide Let the moment land One small spark one hard truth fits inside your hand Open wide Open wide This is the only one When it comes through stand in the light and know what’s been undone
