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)
