Two minutes


Horns honking people talking sirens wailing

Temptation swirling i feel so far away from you now

At these times I put my earbuds in and turn my music up blaring

Suddenly there is nothing else but me and you and for those two minutes I'm going to listen to everything you have to say

So speak to me o lord!
Let me hear you  today!

Cause I know after these two minutes the voices will be back and the sirens too 
The temptation will come with a vengeance

But for now I am yours in these two minutes 

I hit replay
