Greedy

(album: Echosmith - 2023)

Time is always slipping by
Every breath I'm taking in
Is leaving as fast as this moment

I haven't even changed this clock
Seasons have changed but I have not
The rhythm to me just feels so off

Drop by drop
I'm filling my cup
If I had the choice
I'd choose to drink it up

I don't know what I expect from You
But I know that it's too much
You've always given me the best of You
But what if it's not enough?

You always say You'll come back
But that only makes me see the space between us
Don't wanna hear that I'm the lucky one
When all I feel is greedy

When I saw the painted sky
Thought it was for me
Not happenstance
Is it a sign or accident?

I've heard it all a million times
Trust what you feel until it hurts
As long as you're using the right words

Drop by drop
I'm filling my cup
If I had the choice
I'd choose to drink it up

I don't know what I expect from You
But I know that it's too much
You've always given me the best of You
But what if it's not enough?

You always say You'll come back
But that only makes me see the space between us
Don't wanna hear that I'm the lucky one
When all I feel is greedy

I try to change you
When both of us know
If I really loved you
I'd love if it showed

Patiently you wait
Like a candle waits to burn
You let me be the one to say
I've got so much to learn

I don't know what to expect from You
Without asking too much
You've always given me the best of You
When I am not enough

You always say You'll come back
But that only makes me see the space between us

I wanna feel that
I'm the lucky one
But I can't help it
I'm greedy
