Parson James Minute Lyrics

[Intro]
Don't you ever have those days when you need a minute?

[Verse 1]
Too busy running 'round, I'm runnin' out of self control
Swimmin' through bottles, meetin' problems I ain't met before
Thought I was crystal clear until a mirror told me "No"
It ain't a healthy way to cope, at least it's what I'm told

[Pre-Chorus]
I'ma need a minute
Mmm, need a minute
Mmm, I'ma need a minute

[Chorus]
Ain't enough time in a day, but I need a minute
I know I shouldn't really run away, but I need a minute
I'm guessin' with the tears in my face that I need a minute
Don't you ever have those days when you need a minute?

[Verse 2]
It's a heavy crown to wear, oh, even when it's gold
Keepin' a level head when balance isn't what you know
Too busy runnin' out of feelings, I ain't got no more
There I go spinning 'round and 'round, just like a merry go
Then you hear something in the silence
And it shakes you all night long Everything that you're hiding finally brings you to the floor
Tell yourself that you're fine until you get some time alone
Everything that you're hiding finally finds you on the floor
You gon' need a minute

[Chorus]
Ain't enough time in a day, but I need a minute
I know I shouldn't really run away, but I need a minute
I'm guessin' with the tears in my face that I need a minute
Don't you ever have those days when you need a minute?

[Bridge]
I'ma need a minute

[Chorus]
Ain't enough time in a day, but I need a minute
I know I shouldn't really run away, but I need a minute
I'm guessin' with the tears in my face that I need a minute
Don't you ever have those days when you need a minute?
Ain't enough time in a day, but I need a minute
I know I shouldn't really run away, but I need a minute
I'm guessin' with the tears in my face that I need a minute
Don't you ever have those days when you need a minute?
