Clock hands spinning faster than my thoughts

Chasing moments that can't be bought

Every second slipping through my hands

Like I'm running out of time to make my plans

Twenty-five feels like the end of youth

Thirty's staring with uncomfortable truth

All the dreams I said I'd chase someday

Are gathering dust while I'm stuck in this maze

Tick, tick, boom

There's no more room

For maybe tomorrow

It's a countdown, countdown

Racing against the dying light

Countdown, countdown

Every heartbeat's do or die

I can hear it in my sleep

This relentless, restless beat

Countdown, countdown

Time won't wait for me to try

Scroll through faces living picture-perfect lives

While I'm drowning in my own good-byes

To the person I was meant to become

Before the fear made me completely numb

Deadlines breathing down my aching neck

Life's a test that I'm about to wreck

All the chances that I let slip by

Now they're ghosts that haunt me every night

Tick, tick, boom

There's no more room

For maybe tomorrow

It's a countdown, countdown

Racing against the dying light

Countdown, countdown

Every heartbeat's do or die

I can hear it in my sleep

This relentless, restless beat

Countdown, countdown

Time won't wait for me to try

Stop the world, I want to get off

Stop the clock before I'm lost

But time keeps moving, doesn't care

If I'm ready or prepared

Maybe pressure makes diamonds

Maybe fear's what defines us

Maybe running out of time

Is what makes us finally shine

It's a countdown, countdown

But I'm done with standing still

Countdown, countdown

Time to bend it to my will

Let it echo through the street

This defiant, urgent beat

Countdown, countdown

Time won't break me, time won't kill

Tick, tick, boom

I'll make some room

For right now, not tomorrow

Right now, not tomorrow
