Tick Tock Lyrics by Jack Conte

Nightmares and Daydreams

2007

[Verse 1]
What a combination
Skin that rots with time and
Time that rots like skin
'Til there's nothing left to live in

[Verse 2]
But I don't need no cover
'Cause you could've had what's under
But instead you choose
A photo and left me to wonder

[Chorus]
Time, time, time, time
Find us a goodbye
And you can try your best, you try your best
But in the end it's goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Tick tock
Memory fades but not you
When I die
I'll still have loved you

[Verse 3]
I can't seem to escape the ticking
The pulse of everything
It's taking it's toll on the heart
Which tackles the pace with incessant beating

[Verse 4]
Who punched a hole in your brain
You're leaking me as quick as I came
Must be hard to hear my voice
From behind a picture frame

[Chorus]
Time, time, time, time
Find us a goodbye
You can try your best, you try your best
But in the end it's goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Tick tock
Memory fades but not you
When I die
I'll still have loved you

[Bridge]
Silence dear
Don't you fear
Silence

[Chorus]
Time, time, time, time
Find us a goodbye
And you can try your best, you try your best
But in the end it's goodbye
