Give me 5 more minutes, please

There’s this country song by Scotty McCreery called “Five more minutes,” and starts out with a couple of kids fishing by the pond when their mom calls that supper is ready.

All they want is five more minutes to continue their fishing expedition.

From there, the song highlights moments when all a person wants is five more minutes to feel the way they are feeling. Five more minutes to soak in the moment. Five more minutes of that first kiss (“...yellow light flipping on and off, interrupting that goodnight kissing; we wanted five more minutes”), of that last sports game as a senior (“And I cried man next time to get in here I’ll have to buy a ticket; can’t you give me five more minutes”), of those final moments with a loved one (“All the family gathered ‘round knew the time was coming soon; with so much left to say I prayed Lord I ain’t finished; just give us five more minutes”).
