Tick tock the crickets chirped away
I don't know what to say
Day and night passed away in a flash
I don't know how to go back

Time is running away from my grip
No matter what, I just can't seem to hold on
Stay with me, don't go, please you're the only one!
Lives disappear before me

Tick tock the time ran away
As it took the lives of those who came away
I can't do anything but watch
How is it that time is all it takes?

Tick tock I can't catch up
Time doesn't seem to know how to stop
That's too bad ...
I stand clutched in the hands of helplessness!

Year 2000, I see a boy disappear from life from cancer
Year 2005, I see a friend drown in a pool of blood from a car crash
In 2018, my dearest grandma passed away
Then 2023 came, and out went away my life

Tick tock the time ran away
As it took the lives of those who came away
I can't do anything but watch
How is it that time is all it takes?

Tick tock I can't catch up
Seems that time has gotten me too
I don't know what to do...
I guess that's the magic behind time.

Tick tock tick tock tock
Tick tock tick tock tock
Tick tock tick tock tock tock tock

Please, time, please slow down for me
