Tickin' Away

[Verse 1]

The clock above the bar

Is telling me it's twelve fifteen

It's a not such a gentle reminder

That I'm where I shouldn't be

I just keep waiting for something to happen

Waiting for somebody to come walkin' in

Somebody as perfect as you were

So I can try it again

[Pre-Chorus]

But chances are so hard to come by

And the second one is impossible to find

The clock keeps runnin'

And then the odds keep gettin' higher

That it's all just a fantasy of mine

[Chorus]

But I shouldn't be thinkin' about it

I shouldn't be worried about it

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's tickin' away

It's tickin' away

It's tickin' away

It's tickin' away

[Verse 2]

I suppose I should cut all my losses

Go home with a six-pack of beer

There ain't nobody in the world like you, baby

If there was, she wouldn't be comin' in here

[Chorus]

But I shouldn't be thinkin' about it

I shouldn't be worried about it

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's tickin' away

It's tickin' away

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's tickin' away

It's tickin' away

It's tickin' away

It's just a clock on the wall

But it's tickin' away

[Bridge]

I suppose I should cut all my losses

Go home with a six-pack of beer

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Hey

Tickin' away

Tickin' away, tickin' away

Tickin' away

Tickin' away, tickin' away

Tickin' away

Ooh
