Passin’ Time by Melodie Yvonne
Everything is quiet in this big old empty house
Just the ticking of the clock echoes my heart
There’s a cold draft creepin’ in that chills me right down to the bone
And I’m wondering how things ever got so far
I don’t know what I’ll do to get through these long chilly winter nights
Don’t know how I’m gonna make it here alone
Don’t know how I’m gonna get through these cold January days
Without the hope of us to keep me goin’
Everything’s so quiet in this big old empty house
There’s nothing here to drown my yappin’ brain
It’s just a mess of maybes, how comes, what if‘s, and a couple why’s
That are dancin’ ‘round and driving me insane
I don’t know how I’m gonna keep together this old crumpled mess
Not sure how I’m gonna get you off my mind
How I’m gonna make it now is anybody’s guess
And now this life just feels like passin’ time
I don’t know what I’ll do to get through these long chilly winter nights
Don’t know how I’m gonna make it here alone
Don’t know how I’m gonna get through these cold January days
Without the hope of us to keep me goin’
