lyrics

Another year gone, another second passed
We’re driving headlong to the end
Another minute more, another decade fast
And it won’t come around again

Tick tock, the minutes turn to hours
Tick tock, into weeks

Fall asleep and dream
Another day over, another day closer to gone
Wide awake, you can’t sleep
The night is half over, another day closer to gone

Another dream gone, a good intention passed
And you’ll remember now and then
And what you meant to you never got to do
And it won’t come around again

Tick tock, the hours turn to seasons
Tick tock, then it stops

Fall asleep and dream
Another day over, another day closer to gone
Wide awake, you can’t sleep
The night is half over, another day closer to gone
Tick tock, the atomic clock it goes
Tick tock, everyday a little closer to gone

I’m stuck on the number
I make the calendar wonder
I’m stuck on the number
But inside I feel so much younger

Time is ticking away
And I am late
Time is slipping through my hands
And I cannot wait
