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)
