Running Out of Time
2025 The Nashville-Wisco 24 - 25
Copyright Erin Wolf 2025

i heard i'm running out of time
running out of time tonight
almost time for curtain calls
and final bows

and i heard that what Taylor said was
the life of a show girl
but i live in the wings
i ain't the main attraction

you all know my voice
but you wouldn't put that faction
in time
in time

one step in front 
of the other
as we're making our way
back to the safe house

chains on the swings outside
are rusty
they, too, have turned
with time

and i 
i don't know
don't know

'scuse me, sir
do you ahve the time
do you know where i should go
to next

'scuse me, ma'am
where do i end 
where do you 
begin

just like Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hide
we could your true colors
and faces outside

you don't hide
as well as you think
that i could 
but i ain't scared of you

scared of 
you
