tick, tick, tick i am not counting the hours i've spent with my fingers between yours i am tracing the maps on your arms i am trying to find a way home we do not know what time it is maybe it's 2am and we both have things to do maybe it's 3pm and we have places to be maybe it's midnight and we really have to say goodbye all i know is the world is not on my shoulders anymore and all there is now is the wonder in your smile all i can see is how well we fit in my years i wanted to know what it was like to be beautiful enough to haunt and here you are beside me in the dusk and you tell me that i have entangled myself in your thoughts all this time i have been been trying to find what all the poets and the artists create for and i found you tick, tick, tick how long until you see the cracks that taint me the shadows that follow me around how long until you decide not to stay you distance yourself from the calamity of me how long until i have to beg to stay with me so we can be lost again
