Spend Me Here

[Verse 1]
I keep a thousand mornings folded in my coat
A dozen lives I might begin, each waiting like a boat
I draw the maps in careful ink, I name the distant shore
But every page I save for later leaves me one day more

[Pre-Chorus]
The calendar keeps taking what the ledger says I own
All those doors are open; still, I never leave the room

[Chorus]
I’m rich in unspent tomorrows
Poor in the day I’m living now
I own a thousand roads to follow
But this one hour is running out
Spend me here, spend me here
Before the future disappears

[Verse 2]
I price the life I haven’t lived, keep adding to the sum
The clock collects its quiet fee while I wait for things to come
A ticket curls beside the sink, the train has left the town
I had the means to go anywhere; I never set it down

[Pre-Chorus]
The calendar keeps taking what the ledger says I own
All those doors are open; still, I never leave the room

[Chorus]
I’m rich in unspent tomorrows
Poor in the day I’m living now
I own a thousand roads to follow
But this one hour is running out
Spend me here, spend me here
Before the future disappears

[Bridge]
No vault can hold an afternoon
No sum can buy the vanished noon
Choose one door and cross the floor
The day is waiting—nothing more

[Final Chorus]
I’m rich in unspent tomorrows
Poor in the day I’m living now
I own a thousand roads to follow
I take this hour; I make it count
Spend me here, spend me here
I’m done delaying what is near

[Outro]
Spend me here
While I am here
