Tick Tock

Tick Tock
i hear the hands of the clock
a gentle heart beat
ringing in my ears

close my eyes
emotions sweeps over me
enraptures my soul
offering a happiness
unlike that I've ever known

suddenly I'm there
the steps to your door
palms are sweaty
my head's spinning already

knees weak
i step inside
then fast forward
it's the end of the night

once again. tick tock
go the hands of the clock
but now it's sped up

the moments slip like sand
through the hands of time
there is enough
looks like the sands run out

now comes the end
two thirty A.M
hands held
lips touch
here comes the rush
breath taking
a single moment

then i snap back
to reality
and mumble goodbyes
already longing
for the next time

that i can be there
right by your side
holding you close
as slowly i drive
off into the night
