Troubled with the shortness of time
with a wish that clocks could rewind.
Tick tock,
Tick tock,
have you got enough time?
Did you watch the sun rise and set?
Have you seen vast valleys of wildflowers,
and the highest, most majestic mountain ranges?
Have you loved another soul, cared for another's heart?
Most importantly, have you learned to love yourself?
Questions left up in the air, but it's okay.
Just promise me one thing darling,
don't waste your life away.

Troubled with the shortness of time
with a wish that clocks could rewind.
Tick tock,
Tick tock,
have you got enough time?
Did you watch the sun rise and set?
Have you seen vast valleys of wildflowers,
and the highest, most majestic mountain ranges?
Have you loved another soul, cared for another's heart?
Most importantly, have you learned to love yourself?
Questions left up in the air, but it's okay.
Just promise me one thing darling,
don't waste your life away.
