Tick Tock Lyrics - Firesight - Jessie Baylin

I know nothing of that clock, tick-tock soundscape. 

I was along by the beat and stuck in its trance, passing me by. 

Passing everything I could have done, 

And could have held in an embrace, 

I am open these days. 

(chorus) 

And ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise, 

It's taken me a long time to make this compromise. 

You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still. 

Tick-tocking of a clock, I am not waiting here. 

So shoot me in the back now and see if I run. 

Let them watch while I cry and remember where I came from. 

Living's like kissing in the dark; 

You're looking for the lips that can make a kind mark. 

(chorus) 

I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise, 

It's taken me a long time to make this compromise. 

You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still. 

Tick-tocking of a clock I am not waiting here. 

I can't do it, no. 

And I wouldn't want to anymore. 

I can't do it, no. 

Passing everything I could have done, 

And could have held in an embrace. 

I am open these days, 

(chorus) 

And ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise, 

It's taken me a long time to make this compromise. 

You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still. 

Tick-tocking of a clock, l am not waiting here. 

I'm ruled by a sun who knows if I'll rise. 

It's taken me a long time to make this compromise. 

You know what I wanted and I'm wanting it still. 

Tick-tocking of a clock I am not waiting here.
