[Verse 1]
Getting older every day and wondering what I have to show for it
Could have been something and gotten my degree
Instead I'm writing songs you'll never hear on my six string
I'm the target of the joke, I always have been
But when I stand up for myself you laugh
And I hate that
Yeah, I hate that
Losing presence in my mind, I forgot how to unwind
I keep questioning, how long I can take this
I can't take this
[Chorus]
They say the clock's ticking
But what does that mean?
I've been wanting to leave since I was 13
You said that things would get better
But come on, it's not much
And the clock is ticking, I don't see the rush
Let the clock tick, clock tick
[Verse 2]
I'm sleeping less and less each night
Waiting for these tears to dry but I tell you I'm fine
I've always been a hermit, I do better on my own
But honestly I've been trying really hard to change that
I can change that
[Chorus]
They say the clock's ticking
But what does that mean?
I've been wanting to leave since I was 13
You said that things would get better
But come on, it's not much
And the clock is ticking, I don't see the rush (Clock tick, clock tick)
[Outro]
Let the clock tick, clock tick
Let it tick, oh, now I'm done
(Clock tick, clock tick)
Let the clock tick, clock tick
