I listen to the seconds tick past

They tell me “stay put”, so here I’ll stay

Let me break free from time at last

They say time flies by, it all goes so fast

I want to live! Deal my hand, I’m ready to play

I listen to the seconds tick past

Minutes may tease me until I feel harassed

I’ll lose many precious hours this way

Let me break free from time at last

Waiting to live, waiting to to be free, waiting to outlast

Feeling the strain every cent I must pay

I listen to the seconds tick past

In a line of nothingness, I am bored, while others stay steadfast

Years of not knowing where my cards will lay

Let me break free from time at last

I’ve put everything out there, all my lines are cast

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting with nothing else I can do or say

I listen to the seconds tick past

Let me break free from time at last
