How come I end up where I started

How come I end up where I went wrong

time fly's
whether you want it to
whether you don't
you can savor a moment
or wish away the nightmare
with ever tick
with ever tock
your time limited
your time is gone
it is out of your control

where does it leave you?
lost
confused
nostalgic
alone
back where you started
far from anywhere you've ever been
you can find old feelings
old thoughts
old fears
old faces
new faces
no faces but your own
you can find all you once had taken from you
you can find nothing
nothing.

then what?
then you wait
and wait
and wait

you had everything you ever wanted
worst part is, you didn't even know it
it was time who showed you
time who stole it from you
but for that you must thank it
thank it very much
for now that you have nothing
nothing at all
you learn to feel
to love
to hate
to live.

don't go searching for what you've lost
you won't find it
it's gone
just like every second
you can't preserve it
the clock won't stop
it just goes tick tock
tick tock
tick tock.

hush now darling
shhhhh
with time
everything will be fine
i promise.

so build me a time machine
make me feel alright
put the wind in my hair
the sun in my eyes
drive me down an empty highway
push my hair out of my face
kiss me once
kiss me twice



sing me a million songs with the blink of an eye
tell me that this is forever
forever
and ever
and ever
tell me that time can't steal this
be everything that i've lost
and everything i have to gain
teach me how to love
to hate
to feel
to live
stop the car
cover my eyes
walk me out
whisper in my ear
everything
anything
gibberish
but whisper
please whisper
i breathe in
then out
i hear no tick
i hear no tock
just the soothing sound of your voice
i am at peace



i open my eyes
you're not there anymore
i turn around
i see no car
there is no sun
there is no breeze
i am shivering
i have no where to go
i call for you
i hear the faint echo of my own voice bounce back at me
my voice and my voice only
i am alone again
still shivering
you were everything i ever wanted
you were more
i decide to sit
sit and wait
wait for a new car to drive by
a new car to pick me up and take me somewhere warm
so i wait
and wait
and wait
once again it is up to time to make this all go away

tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
you're time is up madame
well you know what? i've had enough.

tick
tock

can you stop the clock?
