Runaway Clockwork Hearts

[Intro] Tick-tick—don’t blink… it’s already gone… [Verse 1] Morning light and it’s slipping away, Blink your eyes, now it’s yesterday, Hands keep spinning, don’t slow down— Life just races through this town Shoes still tapping, heart out of sync, Try to catch up but you’re on the brink, Every second’s a runaway train— You reach for time, it won’t remain [Pre-Chorus] Hear that ticking in your chest? Never stops, don’t get no rest… [Chorus] Tick-tock, tick-tock—don’t you blink, Time don’t stop, don’t stop to think, Run, run, run but you’re still behind— Time keeps running through your mind Tick-tock, tick-tock—feel that chase, Every second wins the race, By the time you realize— It’s already passed you by [Verse 2] Calendar pages burning fast, Future’s here then it’s the past, Laugh too quick, cry too late— Time don’t ever hesitate City lights in a blur of gold, Stories fade before they’re told, Hold it tight—but it slips your hands— Gone before you understand [Pre-Chorus] Feel it rushing through your veins— Like a storm you can’t contain… [Chorus] Tick-tock, tick-tock—don’t you blink, Time don’t stop, don’t stop to think, Run, run, run but you’re still behind— Time keeps running through your mind Tick-tock, tick-tock—feel that chase, Every second wins the race, By the time you realize— It’s already passed you by [Verse 3] Faces change and seasons fly, Dreams get lost as years go by, Say “someday” then turn around— That “someday” ain’t nowhere found Hands you held are slipping slow, Moments fade before they grow, You blink once—another year— Time just disappears from here [Bridge] You think you’ve got time… But time’s got you… Seconds slipping through your hands, Like grains of gold you never planned, Turn around—it’s gone again— Time don’t care where you’ve been [Final Chorus] Tick-tock, tick-tock—hear it scream, Time ain’t ever what it seems, Run, run, run but you won’t rewind— Time keeps tearing through your mind Tick-tock, tick-tock—don’t ask why, Every second passes by, By the time you say goodbye— It’s already… passed you by [Outro] Tick… Gone.
