Tick Tock

I know nothing of that clock, tick tock sounds game
I was alone by the beach and stuck in it's trance, passing me by,
Passing everything I could have done, could have held in and embraced,
I am open these days

(chorus)
And who but the sun knows if I'll rise,
It's taking me a long time to make this compromise,
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still
Tick-tocking of a clock got a long way to heal

So shoot me in the back now and see if I run,
Let them watch while I cry and remember where I came from,
It's like kissing in the dark,
Looking for the lips that can make a kind mark

(chorus)
And who but the sun knows if I'll rise,
It's taking me a long time to make this compromise,
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still
Tick-tocking of a clock got a long way to heal

I can't do it no more
And I wouldn't want to anymore
Can't do it, no

Passing everything I could have done,
Could have held in and embraced, I am open these days

(chorus)
And who but the sun knows if I'll rise,
It's taking me a long time to make this compromise,
You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still
Tick-tocking of a clock got a long way to heal (x2)
