Tiny Moments

(Song Version)

Verse 1

I stay wrapped up in the tiny little moments

Holding tight to what I can before it fades

Trying to feel secure inside the insecurity

Trying to stay sane in a world gone strange

I don’t take chances, though I dream of running

Lost in the illusion that safety means stillness

Forgoing all the vital time I should’ve lived

Pretending patience is a virtue

Pretending strength is silence

Chorus

And the minutes slip like water

Days fall through my hands

Months turn into years

While I’m standing where I stand

My life keeps moving forward

Though I barely move at all

Wrapped in tiny little moments

Afraid to rise, afraid to fall

Verse 2

My dark blond hair has silvered into grey

My green eyes dimmed, my hearing soft and thin

My skin has wrinkled, dry and crepe‑like

A map of all the years I didn’t live

I’ve grown worn out, fragile, and too wise

From watching life instead of touching it

Yet still I cling to the smallest pieces

Trying to hold my existence together

With trembling hands and borrowed breath

Chorus

And the minutes slip like water

Days fall through my hands

Months turn into years

While I’m standing where I stand

My life keeps moving forward

Though I barely move at all

Wrapped in tiny little moments

Afraid to rise, afraid to fall

Bridge

I tell myself I’m safe here

In the quiet, in the small

But safety is a shadow

That never saved me at all

The vortex keeps on spinning

And I’m clinging to the edge

Hoping stillness is protection

When it’s really just a ledge

Final Chorus

And the minutes slip like water

Days fall through my hands

Months turn into years

While I’m standing where I stand

My life keeps moving forward

Though I barely move at all

Wrapped in tiny little moments

Afraid to rise, afraid to fall

Still trying to feel secure

In a world that offers none at all
