Tick tock
The bell tolls
All these supposed tos & should bes
Take a toll on me
Drowning in a sea of time
Sounding the bells
I’m floundering, biding the tides on the shore
I need more, more, more
Stolen time
I’m soldiering on
It’s a crime just to wish it away
Please stay a little bit longer
I swear I’ll bear it, be stronger
& we can take our time
Tick tock
Goes the grandfather clock
In my living room
Waking me up at midnight
& taking me out of my dreams
I’m tossing & turning
Relearning sleeping alone
I should’ve known, known
Stolen time
I’m soldiering on
It’s a crime just to wish it away
Please stay a little bit longer
I swear I’ll bear it, be stronger
& we can take our time
we can take our time
Stolen time
I’m soldiering on
It’s a crime just to wish it away
Please stay a little bit longer
I swear I’ll bear it, be stronger
& we can take our time
we can take our time
we can take our time
