Jack Savoretti - Tick Tock Lyrics

Tick tock, time has got its hands on me
And all of its infinity now is where I’m meant to be
Tick tock, life has got the best of me
And all of its insanity all that matters comes for free

Thoughts are but an endless sea
The tide that brings back hope to me
I’m tired but I don’t ever want to sleep

Let yourself be found or no one will ever find you
Say the words out loud, so everyone can hear
Say the words, say the words, that mean something to you
Or don’t say anything at all

Love’s like an hourglass, I’m watching ours pass
And all the darkness in my heart it swirls behind the glass

Shine bright like an after glow
Show the world what you want to show
And when it all moves too fast
You can go slow

But that’s the game we play
Every day’s a chance to change
And break the curse
Your family name’s never seen such patient grace
To be the one to keep her safe
And make amends with all your pain
And know when hell stands in the way
You’ll feel there’s no more you can take
But there’s still time and love will make
A better man than yesterday, just
Let yourself be found

Let yourself be found or no one will ever find you
Say the words out loud, so everyone can hear
Say the words, say the words, that mean something to you
Or don’t say anything at all

Can’t break free from the past, well
You’ll end up where you started and we’ll just spiral faster
It takes pain to make a dancer but this ballet is not the answer
You’ll fall for all her laughter
Watch her sleep in shallow grass
But when she leaves the echo after
Crying in some empty car will make you wish you never asked her
But that’s the game we play
Every day’s a chance to change
And trauma burns in silent flames
But you’re the bird, you’re not the cage
You’re not the words, you are the saying
You’re not the price that you’re still paying
Cause you’re still playing

Let yourself be found or no one will ever find you
Say the words out loud, so everyone can hear
Say the words, say the words, that mean something to you
Or don’t say anything at all

Tick tock, time has got its hands on me
And all of its infinity now is where I’m meant to be

Love’s like an hour glass, I’m watching ours pass
