Five More Minutes — Jeffery Horton

Verse 1

I got one hand on the door
One foot still in the rain
You’re looking at me like
You already know my name

I try to keep it cool
But my chest won’t hold still
There’s a whole hard truth
I’m not ready to spill

Pre-Chorus

So don’t walk off yet
Don’t let it fade
I’ve got a few more words
Stuck in my veins

Chorus

Five more minutes
Five more minutes
Give me five more minutes
Before you let me go

Five more minutes
Five more minutes
Say you’ll stay right here
And make me want to know

Verse 2

Your phone screen glows blue
On the edge of your palm
My whole world tips
When you go too calm

The air gets thin
When you look away
Like I’m one bad turn
From losing my say

Pre-Chorus

So don’t close that door
Don’t cut this short
I’m standing at the line
With my heart out on the floor

Chorus

Five more minutes
Five more minutes
Give me five more minutes
Before you let me go

Five more minutes
Five more minutes
Say you’ll stay right here
And make me want to know

Bridge

If I miss my chance
Then I’ll miss it clean
But I’d rather fall
Than leave what could’ve been

So lean back in
Let the moment breathe
I only need enough
For you to look at me

Chorus

Five more minutes
Five more minutes
Give me five more minutes
Before you let me go

Five more minutes
Five more minutes
Say you’ll stay right here
And make me want to know
