Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dusty light on the gears Lemon drops for the years Winding up the afternoon Hope she comes back soon (Muttering: "Does the cuckoo sound too loud?") Tweezers hold a tiny screw Thinking only about you Smudged lead on my thumb Waiting for the bell to hum [Pre-Chorus] I fold the paper small Lean against the workshop wall Will she find the hidden ink? What will she actually think? (Whispering: "Maybe 'time flies' is too cliché...") [Chorus] Tick-tock, my heart is racing Small jokes, I’m just chasing Hidden in the cuckoo’s nest Put my courage to the test A little pun for a smile Stay here for a little while In G major, feeling bright Hope I got the timing right [Post-Chorus] Seconds pass me by Underneath a paper sky Tick-tock, tick-tock Waiting for her knock [Verse] She likes the wooden chimes I’ve written out the lines "Why was the clock so stressed?" "He was wound up, I suggest" (Muttering: "No, that’s terrible, try again.") "He just needed a hand" Best joke in the land I tuck it by the mainspring Wondering what the day will bring [Pre-Chorus] I fold the paper small Lean against the workshop wall Will she find the hidden ink? What will she actually think? (Whispering: "Just look behind the pendulum...") [Chorus] Tick-tock, my heart is racing Small jokes, I’m just chasing Hidden in the cuckoo’s nest Put my courage to the test A little pun for a smile Stay here for a little while In G major, feeling bright Hope I got the timing right [Bridge] Brass and copper, gold and tin Where do I even begin? I’m just a cog in the wheel Learning how to really feel Casio beats on the floor I can’t hide it anymore One note, two notes, three Will she ever look at me? [Instrumental] [Chorus] Tick-tock, my heart is racing Small jokes, I’m just chasing Hidden in the cuckoo’s nest Put my courage to the test A little pun for a smile Stay here for a little while In G major, feeling bright Hope I got the timing right [Post-Chorus] Seconds pass me by Underneath a paper sky Tick-tock, tick-tock Waiting for her knock [Breakdown] Lemon drops on the bench Grabbing for a silver wrench (Muttering: "Why did the clock go to the doctor?") (Softly: "Because it had a bad face.") (Laughs: "That’s the one.") [Outro]
