Can I stop the clock? This is all happening too fast. So much doubt I'm not ready Maybe I'll never be Give me a few more years I still remember becoming a teen Adulthood seemed like forever away But now it's hanging over my head Like a menacing black cloud Threatening to pour down on me any second I've never been so scared Of not having enough time Why did I rush this? Why was I such a fool? Carelessly wishing my life away One short year at a time Now I've played all my cards And I've nowhere left to hide The time is upon me I can feel it inside My terrified heart That beats in tandem With the ticking of the clock An internal reminder Of impending disaster
