Not the Year

[Verse 1]
What if you were told on the day you were born
The day you die, just not the year
Would it make you think, would it make you change
What you push away, what you pull near
Would it be a birthday party or would you wear black
Would you spend the day looking up or looking back

[Chorus]
Time’s tick ticking
Sand in the glass slip slipping
Is it a gift or is it a curse
Is it your last or is it your first
Time’s tick ticking, tick ticking

[Verse 2]
Would you let yourself fall in love tonight
If you knew you might just have three days to go
Would you beg, would you pray would you try to be brave
For the ones you love and if you weren’t, would you let it show?
Would it feel like a plan divine or a cosmic joke?
Next morning when you wake up, would you burn those goodbye notes?

[Chorus]
Time’s tick ticking
Sand in the glass slip slipping
Is it a gift or is it a curse
Is it your last or is it your first
Time’s tick ticking, tick ticking

[Bridge]
Take any damn chance you wanna take
Yearly 364 days but

[Chorus]
Time’s tick tick tick ticking
Sand in the glass keeps on slip slip slipping
Is it a gift or is it a curse
Is it your last or is it your first
Time’s tick ticking, tick ticking
Time’s tick ticking, tick ticking

[Verse 1]
What if you were told on the day you were born
The day you die, just not the year
