The Kooks - Tick of Time Lyrics

But oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as I'm here

"You can if you want, alright"
"Shit, I've lost my thing
"Are we recording?"
"I've lost my thing"
"Two"
"Yeah, we're recording"
"Set"

One, two

It's far too early in the morning
To be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime
To be thinking about that

But I (but I), but I (but I), but I am

What did I do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah, the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it, and it is

And so I'll go, yes, I'll go
So I'll take that train and ride
Hoping I can write her a rhyme
That might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine
Get off this situation and feel fine

What did I do to deserve her love?
I have to ask myself
When I am such a bad man
But only to her, only to her, only, only to her

Oh, and so I'll go, yes, I'll go
So I'll take that train and ride
Oh, and so I'll go, yes, I'll go
So I'll take that train and ride
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme
That might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine
Get off this situation and feel fine
