Ticking Time

(spoken)
An unexpected Development, Peace enters the room
I find myself impressed by a new thing
that I can't quite describe, paint the picture, give the vibe

(G-C-Em-D)

I open the door / I step back inside
this rain will melt / a lonely mind
She came and went / without a care
now I'll get lost / within ticking time

did what I said I shouldn't do
gave up my walls and fell for you
fell in an ocean, deep and blue
lost all my vision of what was true
I lost all of myself in chasing you
now I'm haunted, stuck with ghosts of the past
I can't look back, gotta wonder
If I'm still a man
cause now I question who I am.

I open the door / and step outside
the sun will greet / my searching mind
she came and went / without a care
now I'll get lost / within ticking time

I get back up and hit the light
set pen to the paper and I write a line
one to start a new story
I hope this time, I can make it right
can't give up on myself
can't crumple down under the weight of the world
I'm stronger than al that, I'm more than a man
Have me a plan to make me and myself
finally / happy

I open the door / I step outside
enjoy the earth / with a clear mind
I've come and I've gone / without a care
now I'll get lost / within ticking time

Open the door / step outside
enjoy all of life / with a clear mind
I came and I went / without a care
now I'll get lost / within ticking time
