Time

Time, time, ticking by
The one thing we spend that we cannot buy
As bells chime, I realise
I've invested mine in a life I despise
Tick, tock, watching the clock
Alarm switched on, alarm switched off
Pocket, kitchen, coo-coo, watch
It's already started and it can't be stopped

Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Weeks, months, I'm always late
Past, present, future tense
Been trying to save mine, but it's all spent

Big hand turning round and round
It's running out without a doubt now
Little hand spins faster now
Grains of sand are falling down

I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
That I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time

Time, time ticking by
The one thing we spend that we cannot buy
As bells chime, I realise
I've invested mine in a life I despise
Tick, tock, watching the clock
Alarm switched on, alarm switched off
Pocket, kitchen, coo-coo, watch
It's already started and it can't be stopped

Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Weeks, months, I'm always late
Past, present, future tense
Been trying to save mine, but it's all spent

Big hand turning round and round
It's running out without a doubt now
Little hand spins faster now
Grains of sand are falling down

I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
That I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time

I don't know where I've thrown it all away
Time, time ticking by
I don't know where I've thrown it all away
Time, time ticking by
I don't know how, I don't know why
I don't know where it's gone
Big hand turning round and round

I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
That I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
