Tickety Tock Written By: Joni Marks 5-4-04
I try to be on time, but I’m always late
Always watchin the clock but I don’t see straight
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you wait
It seems this race against the clock is my only fate
I wake up and the clocks already haunting me
I’m already late there’s somewhere that I gotta be
I don’t mean to, I really wish you all could see,
My clock is broken, inside there’s something wrong with me
I’m always late it doesn’t matter where I go
I’m always the one that’s holdin up the show
I can leave an hour early and I’m ready to go
Start a conversation and before you know
I lost track of time so I gotta make it up
I don’t even have time to stop and say what’s up
And since I’m runnin late I feel the need to speed
The speed limit signs I guess I don’t read
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
I know I can’t afford another speeding ticket
If I get another one I’ll tell them where to stick it
It doesn’t really matter much how you pick it
If you give me a time than I am bound to miss it
And all these people think that I’m just ignorant
And by the time I show up they are already bent
They wanna know what I did and where I went
Then they ask me what time that I thought they meant
I try to be on time, but I’m always late
Always watchin the clock but I don’t see straight
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you wait
It seems this race against the clock is my only fate
I’m always late it doesn’t matter where I go
I’m always the one that’s holdin up the show
I can leave an hour early and I’m ready to go
Start a conversation and before you know
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
I had checks to cash but they closed the bank
Now I’m runnin late and on an empty tank
I had bills to send out but I missed the mail
I try so hard but I still seem to fail
It doesn’t matter how early I try to be
As usual everyone is waitin for me
I don’t know how I do it, every day it’s the same
I’m the last one there and the one they blame
Five minutes early was parents rule
As a kid I was always late getting to school
I couldn’t even be on time for detention
Everyone thought I just did it for attention
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
Tickety Tock it wont stop racin the clock
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
Tickety Tock it wont stop racin the clock
I hated the disgrace of making everyone wait
And I hated the fact that I was always late
I was hopin things would change when I grew up
But when it comes to time I’m still a screw up
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
I try to be on time, but I’m always late
Always watchin the clock but I don’t see straight
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you wait
It seems this race against the clock is my only fate
I’m always late it doesn’t matter where I go
I’m always the one that’s holdin up the show
I can leave an hour early and I’m ready to go
Start a conversation and before you know
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
Tickety Tock it wont stop racin the clock
Race against the clock, go tickety tock
Tickety Tock it wont stop racin the clock, Yeah
I might be late, but still Im comin
Cause you know how I do and you know Im always runnin
Vocals sound very muffled need to clear it up a little.
