Ticking Away Lyrics by Hunter Schlitz

Electrocity

2019

I’ve held onto the memory of you
And it’s led me to this place
Where everything still hangs by a string
And it’s threatening to break
Threatening to break
All I remember is happily ever after there with you
Now all I see is the ghost of me
And what’s left of the person I knew
Perfect strangers immune to the dangers
Of holding on too long
Now all I have is the ghost of the past
And the feelings are all gone
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking away
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking
Before you know it
Pleasantly I dream of peace
All alone in this empty room
Turning grey I wish and pray
For one more dance with you
One more dance with you
Just one more dance with you
Baby I’m slipping away
Drifting away
I’ve come unglued
Where the hell are you
And time is ticking away
Slipping away
I’m so alone
But it’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
Now I’ve come to the end
And I can’t pretend
That you’re not gone
I’ve waited far too long
I feel nothing so baby I’m coming
Whoa I’m coming home
My world is empty and now that it’s ending
I’ll never be alone
But it’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking away
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking
Before you know it the clock will stop ticking away
