[Verse 1] I was counting little hours, Making plans for Friday night, Had my whole life in a notebook, Everything was going right. Then the room got unfamiliar, Though I’d slept there every night, Something shifted in the silence, Something changed without a sign. I kept moving like I knew it, Kept pretending I was fine, Funny how you miss the moment That becomes the rest of your life. [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tock… There goes another minute. Tick-tock… Funny, I was in it. Didn’t hear the door unlock, Just the tick-tock of the clock. [Chorus] The white rabbit got me, I didn’t even know. Thought I was chasing time, Till it took where I was supposed to go. The white rabbit got me, Somewhere down the line. One minute I had everything, The next, nothing felt like mine. [Post-Chorus] Everybody says, “You’ll get used to it.” Like time can make it hurt A little less than this. The white rabbit got me, I watched the whole world run. I just didn’t realize My old life was already done. [Verse 2] There’s a picture from before it, God, I barely know that girl. She’s smiling like tomorrow Couldn’t rearrange her world. She was laughing in the kitchen, Making plans for Friday night, Never knowing she was living The last day things felt right. And I hate that life keeps moving, Like it doesn’t know you’re gone. How can everybody carry on When I’m still holding on? [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tock… Don’t blink, you’ll miss it. Tick-tock… That’s the trick, isn’t it? Nothing warns you. Nothing stops. Just the tick-tock of the clock. [Chorus] The white rabbit got me, I didn’t even know. Thought I was chasing time, Till it took where I was supposed to go. The white rabbit got me, Somewhere down the line. One minute I had everything, The next, nothing felt like mine. [Post-Chorus] Everybody says, “You’ll get used to it.” Like time can make it hurt A little less than this. The white rabbit got me, I watched the whole world run. I just didn’t realize My old life was already done. [Bridge] Maybe that’s the cruel part, There isn’t always a crash. Sometimes you’re planning forever While forever becomes the past. No warning, No goodbye, Just a before And an after in your mind. [Final Chorus] The white rabbit got me, Now I finally know. Life doesn’t ask permission Before it changes where you’ll go. The white rabbit got me, And I can’t turn back time. I keep looking for the moment When that whole life stopped being mine. [Final Post-Chorus] Maybe I’ll keep moving, Even if I don’t know where. Maybe moving on just means Learning how to miss you there. ’Cause the white rabbit got me… And I didn’t feel a thing. Till I looked around And everything… Everything had changed. [Outro] Tick-tock… Tick-tock… [End]
