Tick-Tack

[Intro] Victorian clock on the wall Tick-tack, tick-tack — that’s all [Verse 1] Quiet room, lights low I’m on the sofa reading your note Space? You need space? From me? From love? I thought we were solid I thought we were us [Pre-Chorus 1] Moonlight in the window Orange glow in the kitchen I don’t really sleep now Just replaying what I’m missing Your voice in the hallway Your laugh in my head Feels like every corner Knows what you said [Chorus 1] How do I live like this? How do I breathe alone? I don’t want pauses I don’t want distance I just want you home I’m not even angry I’m just worn down Time keeps running The room feels hollow Without you Tick-tack [Verse 2] Coffee cup on the table Lipstick still on the rim Your perfume in the air Yeah… I breathe it in Close my eyes — See us moving slow That birthmark on your neck My hands on your skin These walls again. [Pre-Chorus 2] Heartbeat in the silence Shadows on the floor Every second louder Than the night before [Chorus 2] How do I live like this? How do I let you go? I don’t want space I don’t want maybe I just want you close I still love you That hasn’t changed Time keeps running The room feels hollow Without you [Bridge – stripped back beat] Tick-tack, tick-tack Tick-tack, tick-tack Clock don’t stop Even when we do The room feels hollow Without you [Final Chorus – fuller production] How do I live like this? Tell me what to do While the clock keeps ticking I want you forever I want you [Outro – minimal] Victorian clock on the wall Tick-tack, tick-tack — that’s all
