A Lot To Learn Lyrics - Artist : Buckley, Madds
Watch the clock
And wonder who said that time flies by Keep counting hours and minutes and seconds In the same interval of time If all you can do is waste away And waiting for the hands to change You might as well Be alone in this room for good So Tick-tock Watch it mocking you And every little move that you make It says "Don't you dare Look away, leaving will be your mistake Do you wanna step through that door Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who Will tear apart every piece of you And chain your soul down with them, too? Little girl, you've got a lot to learn Of how the world will treat your turn If I were you I'd never speak Never let it turn on me" You've got a mind and a mouth and a body attached But let's be honest, they're not matching up You just think about how everything would be better If you could just shut up But the world's not that forgiving And if you keep on sitting Patience runs thin like the wire you're on So Tick-tock Watch it mocking you And every little move that you make It says "Don't you dare Look away, leaving will be your mistake Do you wanna step through that door Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who Will tear apart every piece of you And chain your soul down with them, too? Little girl, you've got a lot to learn Of how the world will treat your turn If I were you I'd never speak Never let it turn on me" You can scrape through the walls Claw through the floorboards Break all the windows Refuse and ignore The answer in your hands You can blame the world For never letting you in But it's you in the box and the door's little lock Has the key already in So Tick-tock Watch it mocking you And every little move that you make It says "Don't you dare Look away, staying will be your mistake Do you wanna step through that door Of liars and cheats and scoundrels? Yes But you've been avoiding all the best And the sunsets are calling There's a world you've left behind But it's not something you cannot find again" Watch the clock Every second Don't you dare lose the time There's nothing better than now To be the most alive |
