lyrics

Watch the clock
And wonder who said that time flys by
Keep counting hours and minutes and seconds
In the same interval of time
If all you can do is waste away
In waiting for the hands to change
You might as well be alone in this room for good

So tick tock watch it mocking
You and every little move that you make
It says "don't you dare look away
Leaving will be your mistake"

Do you wanna step through through that door
Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who
Will tear apart every piece of you
And chain your soul down with 'em too
Little girl you've got a lot to learn
Of how the world will treat your turn
If I were you I'd never speak
Never let it turn on me

You've got a mind and a mouth and a body attached
But let's be honest they're not matching up
You think of just how everything would be better
If you could just shut up
But the worlds not that forgiving
And if you keep on sitting
Patience runs thin like the wire you're on

So tick tock watch it mocking
You and every little move that you make
It says "don't you dare look away
Leaving will be your mistake"

do you wanna step through through that door
Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who
Will tear apart every piece of you
And chain your soul down with 'em too
Little girl you've got a lot to learn
Of how the world will treat your turn
If I were you I'd never speak
Never let it turn on me

You can scrape at the walls
Claw through the floorboards break all the windows
Refuse and ignore
The answer in your hands
You can blame the world
For never letting you in
But it's you in the box
And the doors little lock
Has the key already in

So tick tock
Watch it mocking you and every little move that you make
You say "don't you dare look away"
But staying will be your mistake

Do you wanna step through that door
Of liars and cheats and scoundrels yes
But you've been avoiding all the best
And the sunsets are calling
There's a world you've left behind
But it's not something you cannot find again

Watch the clock, every second
Don’t you dare lose the time
There’s nothing better than now to be the most alive
