Lower Than Atlantis – Time lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time, time, ticking by
The one thing we spend that we cannot buy
As bells chime, I realise
I've invested mine in a life I despise
Tick, tock, watching the clock
Alarm switched on, alarm switched off
Pocket, kitchen, coo-coo, watch
It's already started and it can't be stopped

[Bridge]
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Weeks, months, I'm always late
Past, present, future tense
Been trying to save mine but it's all spent

[Chorus]
Big hand turning round and round
It's running out without a doubt now
Little hand spins faster now
Grains of sand are falling down
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
That I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time

[Verse 2]
Time, time, ticking by
The one thing we spend that we cannot buy
As bells chime, I realise
I've invested mine in a life I despise
Tick, tock, watching the clock
Alarm switched on, alarm switched off
Pocket, kitchen, coo-coo, watch
It's already started and it can't be stopped

[Bridge]
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Weeks, months, I'm always late
Past, present, future tense
Been trying to save mine but it's all spent

[Chorus]
Big hand turning round and round
It's running out without a doubt now
Little hand spins faster now
Grains of sand are falling down
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
That I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time

I don't know where I've thrown it all away
Time, time ticking by
I don't know where I've thrown it all away
Time, time ticking by
I don't know where I've thrown it all away
Time, time ticking by
I don't know how
I don't know why
I don't know where it's gone
Big hand turning round and round
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
I didn't wanna let you know
That I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
I'm only gonna waste your time
