A driving alt-pop production begins with pulsing synth pads and crisp electronic percussion. Sparse verses contrast with layered, anthemic choruses where electric bass and guitars add richness. Bridge introduces stuttering beats and vocal chops, leading to a vibrant final chorus.

Lyrics
Verse
Eighteen minutes and my knees are tight
Clock's ticking loud in this fluorescent light
Bathroom's close but feels like miles away
Why did I chug that draft beer today
Chorus
Tick tock
Tick tock
The seconds crawl
My bladder's screaming down the hall
Eighteen minutes feels like a year
Why’s the restroom always nowhere near
Verse 2
The station smells like old regret
A janitor’s mop and a cigarette
I’m doing the dance that everyone knows
Crossed legs and a prayer as the pressure grows
Chorus
Tick tock
Tick tock
The seconds crawl
My bladder's screaming down the hall
Eighteen minutes feels like a year
Why’s the restroom always nowhere near
Bridge
Oh-oh
The floor is shaking
(ooh-yeah!)
My knees are quaking
No more faking
Counting tiles
Oh one by one
Will this waiting ever be done?
Chorus
Tick tock
Tick tock
The seconds crawl
My bladder's screaming down the hall
Eighteen minutes feels like a year
Why’s the restroom always nowhere near
