The Trick Lyrics by Longwave

If We Ever Live Forever

2019

I want to tell you about what I've been thinking
I want to tell you while the city's blinking
I want to tell you that time keeps ticking away

I know you think it's kinda hard to believe it
But what I've got, oh I know you need it
I want to tell you that time keeps ticking away
T-ticking away, T-ticking away

You should know everything is under control
Before we get too low
Everything is under control
That's just a trick I know

I'm gonna keep it like a tight little secret
I'm gonna hold it in my hand and squeeze it
I'm gonna keep it to myself
I'm calling the shots

I want to tell you about what I've been thinking
I want to tell you while the city's blinking
I want to tell you that time keeps ticking away
T-ticking away, T-ticking away

You should know everything is under control
Before we get too low
Everything is under control

Going down where nobody knows
Before we get too low
Everything is under control
That's just a trick I know

You should know everything is under control
Before we get too low

Going down where nobody knows
Before we get too low
Everything is under control
That's just a trick I know
