[Intro: Mike Irish]
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of hiding
Thinking about the clock now
I'm coming back to this feeling
Tell me now
Tell me now what you want
[Chorus 1]
And if my time is coming
Wouldn't you think I'd like to know?
So please tell me, baby
'Cause I think it's time to go
[Verse 1: Mike Irish]
I've been working hard now
I've been on the back seat running on empty
Coming up high
Coming up high low
And tell me who you want now
Who you'd rather pick in a fight
'Cause there's only one winner to me
And at least I won't show
[Pre-Chorus]
I been working harder than the rope now
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of hiding
Thinking about the clock now
I'm coming back to this feeling
Tell me now
Tell me now what you want
[Chorus 2]
And if my time is coming
Wouldn't you think I'd like to know? I'd like to know
And if my mind keeps running
But baby, don't let it go, I'll let it go
[Verse 2: Khary]
(Yeah) A crowded room, I hate the way that you stare at me
All these people here, so why'd you want to embarrass me? (Why?)
Charon the baron, preparing to come and ferry me (Yeah)
Apparently, I've got the life expectancy of a parakeet
You don't get to choose the face that you die with (Die with)
I just hope that mine's a smile, and I've retracted my eyelids, so- (Eyelids)
At least, I'll get a rise from your kiss of death
Still, I'm wishing you could have warned me of all these missing steps
Don't sell me dreams, and imply that I'll grow old
'Cause at the same time, you've got the power to steal my soul
I've been stocking up on holy water and gold
Hopefully, I can buy a shovel out of this hole, bury me, no, no, no
Gotta keep my promises (Yeah), I got too much to accomplish, yeah
Baby, don't play me, my time ain't for shavin', and I'ma need you to be honest here (Here)
Do you see a future with me?
Or is it my time to exit? I'll be quick on my wings, yeah
[Outro: Mike Irish & Khary]
Wouldn't you think I'd like to know?
Wouldn't you think I'd like to know?
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
Wouldn't you think I'd like to-
