Verse 1 There’s a door you never opened Still breathing in the hall A name you nearly whispered Still waiting in your mouth You learned to want in silence You learned to call it peace But every little heartbeat Says what you wouldn’t speak Pre-Chorus Tick, tick, tick Something underneath Tick, tick, tick Won’t let you sleep Chorus Go where the wanting goes Even if nobody knows You can bury every spark But it remembers how to glow Go while the night is young Before your nerve is gone Tick, tick, tick— What you never touch Is what you’ll ache for most Verse 2 There’s a face you haven’t known yet That follows through your sleep A life beyond the window You’re frightened you could keep You stand beside the water Afraid to lose the shore But everything you’re longing for Is asking you for more Pre-Chorus Tick, tick, tick Closer than it seems Tick, tick, tick Underneath your dreams Chorus Go where the wanting goes Even if nobody knows You can bury every spark But it remembers how to glow Go while the night is young Before your nerve is gone Tick, tick, tick— What you never touch Is what you’ll ache for most Bridge One day the door won’t open One day the tide won’t wait And all the words you swallowed Will have nowhere left to stay So let your hands be trembling Let your careful heart be wrong Some things only disappear When you finally move toward them Final Chorus Go where the wanting goes Even if it takes you whole You can spend your life staying safe And still have something stolen Go while you still can run Go while you still want more Tick, tick, tick— What you never lived Will keep knocking at your door Tick, tick, tick— Still knocking at your door
