[verse 1] Tick-tock and I can't stop These hands that seem to wave goodbye As you get on that midnight flight [verse 2] Breathe in and breathe out My time with you is runnin' out But I can still imagine how you [bridge] [soft ambient pads • distant vocal hums] Every second hurts a little more tonight [pre-chorus] I keep watching all the clocks rewind Like somehow love could pause the night But airplanes leave and people go And time keeps moving way too slow [chorus] You said you'd bend the hourglass To make it all go slow I'd break the sun and moon in half To give you what you want I know we're both losin' it With the distance Yeah It's hard You said you'd bend the hourglass To make it all go slow But time won't stop for us [post-chorus] Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock [bridge] [half-time drums • emotional guitar swells] Wish I could freeze this moment before you disappear [verse 3] The countdown has begun I need to let you go and run I'm grateful that we had our fun [verse 4] So baby Breathe in and breathe out Just know it's all gon' work out 'Cause I'll be here when you're in town [buildup] [rising synths • heartbeat kick pattern] Even oceans couldn't pull us apart— [beat drop] [full drums crash in • distorted guitar lift] (TICK-TOCK—) [verse 5] Every message hits different now Like your voice still fills this house And every empty room I walk through Still feels a little bit like you [verse 6] Maybe someday time slows down Maybe someday you're around And all these nights stop feeling long Like somehow we still belong [bridge] [quiet piano • layered harmonies] I still hear your laugh in every silence [pre-chorus] I keep watching all the clocks rewind Like somehow love could pause the night But airplanes leave and people go And time keeps moving way too slow [chorus] You said you'd bend the hourglass To make it all go slow I'd break the sun and moon in half To give you what you want I know we're both losin' it With the distance Yeah It's hard You said you'd bend the hourglass To make it all go slow But time won't stop for us [post-chorus] Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock [bridge] [ambient outro • fading delay] Maybe love was never meant to race the clock [outro] Tick-tock… time won’t stop for us…
