A Lot to Learn Lyrics by Madds Buckley

The Strings That Tie Us Together

2018

[Verse 1]
Watch the clock
And wonder who said that time flies by
Keep counting hours and minutes and seconds
In the same interval of time
If all you can do is waste away
And waiting for the hands to change
You might as well
Be alone in this room for good
[Chorus 1]
So
Tick-tock
Watch it mocking you
And every little move that you make
It says "Don't you dare
Look away, leaving will be your mistake
Do you wanna step through that door
Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who
Will tear apart every piece of you
And chain your soul down with them, too?
Little girl, you've got a lot to learn
Of how the world will treat your turn
If I were you I'd nevеr speak
Never lеt it turn on me"
[Verse 2]
You've got a mind and a mouth and a body attached
But let's be honest, they're not matching up
You just think about how everything would be better
If you could just shut up
But the world's not that forgiving
And if you keep on sitting
Patience runs thin like the wire you're on
[Chorus 1]
So
Tick-tock
Watch it mocking you
And every little move that you make
It says "Don't you dare
Look away, leaving will be your mistake
Do you wanna step through that door
Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who
Will tear apart every piece of you
And chain your soul down with them, too?
Little girl, you've got a lot to learn
Of how the world will treat your turn
If I were you I'd never speak
Never let it turn on me"
[Bridge]
You can scrape through the walls
Claw through the floorboards
Break all the windows
Refuse and ignore
The answer in your hands
You can blame the world
For never letting you in
But it's you in the box and the door's little lock
Has the key already in
[Chorus 2]
So
Tick-tock
Watch it mocking you
And every little move that you make
It says "Don't you dare
Look away, staying will be your mistake
Do you wanna step through that door
Of liars and cheats and scoundrels? Yes
But you've been avoiding all the best
And the sunsets are calling
There's a world you've left behind
But it's not something you cannot find again"
[Outro]
Watch the clock
Every second
Don't you dare lose the time
There's nothing better than now
To be the most alive
