Calling the Clock Lyrics by DeDe

Calling the Clock

2016

[Verse 1]

Time is slippin to 1am
Did you forget you have a home?
And Yes, I meant every word I said
That ain't easy to defend

[Bridge]
But sometimes you're a brick wall
Sometimes I go overboard
Sometimes both our knives are drawn

[Chorus]
Should I be?
Should I be calling the clock
Should I be giving you up
And calling the clock on you
When will I know
When to hold my hands up ?
Should I be changing the locks?
And calling the clock on you


[Verse 2]
We've been swimming up-tide
For a long long time
My mother said “soldier on”
But they don't have to live with an endless battle?
Why should I?
Should I try?

[Bridge]
Cos sometimes you’re a brick wall
Sometimes I'm invisible
Sometimes It's a tug of war

[Chorus]
Should I be?
Should I be calling the clock
Should I be giving you up
And calling the clock on you
When will I know
When to hold my hands up ?
Should I be changing the locks
And calling the clock on you

[Middle 8]
Sometimes I just wanna walk
And then I open the door
I don't know why I do this anymore?

[Chorus]
Should I be?
Should I be calling the clock
Should I be giving you up
And calling the clock on you
When will I know
When to hold my hands up?
Will I be giving you up
And calling the clock on you
