Every Minute

I am long on stayingI am slow to leaveEspecially when it comes to you my friendYou have taught me to slow downAnd to prop up my feetIt's the fine art of being who I amAnd I can't figure outWhy you want me aroundI'm not the smartest person I have ever metBut somehow that doesn't matterNo it never really mattered to you at allAnd at the risk of wearing out my welcomeAt the risk of self-discoveryI'll take every momentAnd every minute that you'll give meAnd I can think of time when families all lived togetherFour generations in one houseAnd the table was full of good foodAnd friends and neighborsThat's not how we like it nowCause if you sit at home you're a loserCouldn't you find anything better to doWell no I couldn't think of one thingI would rather waste my time on than sitting here with youAnd at the risk of wearing out my welcomeAt the risk of self-discoveryI'll take every momentAnd every minute that you'll give meAnd I wish all the people I love the mostCould gather in one placeAnd know each other and love each other wellAnd I wish we could all go campingAnd lay beneath the starsAnd have nothing to do and stories to tellWe'd sit around the campfireAnd we'd make each other laugh remembering whenYou're the first one I'm invitingAlways know that you're invited, my friendAnd at the risk of wearing out my welcomeAt the risk of self-discoveryI'll take every momentAnd every minute that you'll give meEvery moment and every minute that you'll give meEvery moment and every minute that you'll give meEvery minute
