Passing Through (Can't the Future Just Wait)

Can't the future just wait?
 Can't the deadlines come fashionably late?
 I could push every goal back
 Take control back
 If they'd roll back the rate
 At which time starts to fly
 Never landing or standing by
 Never taking a break
 Ever making me retry
 We "nickel-and-dime" every "quarter to two"
 But maybe it's time to let time pass through
 If the future is bright
 It doesn't shine with that "end of the tunnel" light
 More like a deer in the headlights
 Sudden red lights
 Or "you're dead" lights
 As the anglerfish bite
 It's not fair
 The past is clear but it's clear back there
 What's ahead? No one knows
 But it's closing in, we swear
 Still not in my prime, I have so much to do
 But maybe it's time to let time pass through
 I can't just rewrite decisions when life gets strange
 Should I go with my gut on which door I should shut?
 I'm unsure
 I'd keep exploring this rut
 But what good is time without change?
 ♪
 Move on
 'Cause things never last
 Just move on
 'Cause it goes too fast and the past has passed
 So move on
 No one likes an ending
 So what's with the attention we keep on giving them?
 Why are we still spending so much time
 Dreading our lives instead of living them?
 Why do we try to divert the river
 When the water is what will deliver us where we need to go?
 We may never know why
 Time is always in limited supply
 But we'll live to regret it
 If we get it
 And then let it slip by
 It can never rewind
 Once you've lost it, it's hard to find
 Take the journey in stride
 When your plans have been sidelined
 Every hourly chime could begin something new
 So maybe it's time to let time pass through
 Not passing by, but passing through
 'Til the well runs dry
 Just passing through
