Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking
Away

Well I poured my heart into my hands
But emotion took the best of me 
And walked away

Now I hang my head
I start to cry
I wonder why I had to even wake up today

Then I see what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
Think about the times I couldn't stand no more
Then I start to think of you again

Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking 
Away

I took some changes with my life
But they kept me locked and beaten
In the cold outside

And I call you on the telephone
All my bills are paid
But there's no dial tone

Then I hear what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
Think about the times I couldn't take no more
Then I hear your voice again

Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking 
Away

Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking 
Away

Then I see what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
Think about the times I couldn't stand no more
Then I start to think of you again

Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking 
Away

Tick tock tick tock ticking
Tick tock tick tock ticking 
Away
