The clock counts down the seconds of my life
Counts the seconds I live without you
Counts the seconds I want you
Counts the seconds that haunt me

They will never tell me if you are close or far away
Right or wrong
If I ever float across your mind
When you are dreaming
Do you dream of me?

Every time I close my eyes
I see your face
Your eyes
The freckles scattered across your nose

I hear the clock
I hope that you hear it too
That you think of me
When you hear that clock
Tick Tock
