the past consumes us
The future has us by our toes
And nobody knows
Which makes it hard for us to trust
Minutes tick on by
Almost sounding like a lullaby
Tick tock tick tock
Life is wasting away
So I guess I'll stay
And do the same old thing everyday
Tick tock tick tock
try and go backwards
or Is it easier to go forwards
to dwell or to wonder
What will be and what's over
tick tock tick tock

About how we waste time, worrying about the future, and dwelling on the past.
