Hours and hours
The clock's ticking quickly
Each moment seems long
Yet now it is gone
Hours and hours
I spend my time waiting
Expecting nothing to change
Losing grip on excitement
Hours and hours
I lie in solitude
Dreaming that sleep
Will bring rest to my soul
Hours and hours
The issues elude me
I don't see what's real
I see pretty fiction
Hours and hours
Until something clicks
I finally get it
My smile slides back
Hours and hours
I cannot resist
My heart's nagging voice
"Go! Live by the hour."
