[Verse 1]
The clock above the bar
Is telling me it's twelve fifteen
It's a not such a gentle reminder
That I'm where I shouldn't be
I just keep waiting for something to happen
Waiting for somebody to come walkin' in
Somebody as perfect as you were
So I can try it again

[Pre-Chorus]
But chances are so hard to come by
And the second one is impossible to find
The clock keeps runnin'
And then the odds keep gettin' higher
That it's all just a fantasy of mine

[Chorus]
But I shouldn't be thinkin' about it
I shouldn't be worried about it
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's tickin' away
It's tickin' away
It's tickin' away
It's tickin' away
[Verse 2]
I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beer
There ain't nobody in the world like you, baby
If there was, she wouldn't be comin' in here

[Chorus]
But I shouldn't be thinkin' about it
I shouldn't be worried about it
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's tickin' away
It's tickin' away
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's tickin' away
It's tickin' away
It's tickin' away
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's tickin' away

[Bridge]
I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beer

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Hey
Tickin' away
Tickin' away, tickin' away
Tickin' away
Tickin' away, tickin' away
Tickin' away
Ooh
