Clocks Lyrics

Crash and burn, I toss and turn up all night

First in line, but last to learn wrong and right

Cursed to find these words of mine with a mannequin mouth

Try to hold them back, but they still fall out

I feel a little closer, to some kind of sober

Back and forth, over and over now

I've been chasing clocks

To find the missing parts of me I've lost

A kind of castaway

Stuck on a carousel, and playing show and tell

So here's my farewell, is this heaven or is this hell

I guess the time will tell

One hand won't drop, can't stop the rollercoaster ride

I got one hand behind my back with two fingers tied

And I can't describe the way I'm feeling inside

But I'll keep wearing faces 'til I don't have to hide

I feel a little closer, to some kind of sober

Back and forth, over and over now

I've been chasing clocks

To find the missing parts of me I've lost

A kind of castaway

Stuck on a carousel, and playing show and tell

So here's my farewell, is this heaven or is this hell

I guess the time will tell

All the things I never knew

'Cause I borrowed time I barely used

In this twisted game for two

I pray the time will tell

That I've been chasing clocks

To find the missing parts of me I've lost

A kind of castaway

Stuck on a carousel, and playing show and tell

So here's my farewell, is this heaven or is this hell

I guess the time will tell
