LYRICS
Words are flying forward
Talks to disappear
While I’m going backwards
I know I’m hard to hear

I want to tell you a story
I might need some time from you
I’m stumbling and so anxious
But your ears are needed too

Oh I’m on fire
But it feels like I got caught
Oh I’m so tired
‘Cause it seems that I got locked
But I just need some time to talk

I wish that I could tell you
How this makes me feel
All I need is patience
My voice never sounded so real

And you don’t need to help me
I know how to do this too
Sometimes I just wondered
How I sound to you

Oh I’m on fire
But it feels like I got caught
Oh I’m so tired
‘Cause it seems that I got locked
But I just need some time to talk

Oh I’m on fire
But it feels like I got caught
Oh I’m so tired
‘Cause it seems that I got locked
And I just need some time to talk

INSPIRATION
'Time To Talk' is a song that originated from a series of profound and touching conversations with young people who stutter. Their courage, strength, and determination to tell their stories despite their challenges greatly inspired me.

However, the past year has given a special meaning to the song. The year brought about a number of profound changes and challenges that seemed to parallel the message of the song. It is an anthem about personal growth, finding inner strength, and overcoming obstacles.

'Time To Talk' is a tribute to everyone who struggles with setbacks but never gives up and remains positive. It is a call to talk, to listen, to make time for each other, and to truly be there for each other. It is a song about strength, hope, and connection.
