tick tock, tick tock.

tick tock, tick tock
nobody likes the pressure of a clock.
so stop. for a minute. and realize.
look into the horizon & see the sunrise.
look into your neighbor's eyes,
and tell me.
are you holding something back?
is this moment filled with lack?
lack of words, lack of thought, lack of action.
tick tock, tick tock.
think back for a second. are there words in your head?
anything you've never said?
dont let the ocean breeze, take your whispers across the seas.
dont let your sealed lips, give your neighbor an eclipse..
of your mind. of your feelings. of your love.
tick tock, tick tock. lets bring back the clock.
theres 9 months left until june 09.
dont wait until you've run out of time.
cuz with every sunrise, theres a sunset.
and you dont want your heart morose with regret.
tick tock, tick tock.
dont just stare at the sky.
turn to your neighbor, and genuinely say hi.
cuz sooner or later, it'll be time to say bye.
