tick-tock, i saw the clock   but you felt so good that i couldn't stop   and all along i thought it was wrong    'til you sang a new song and you came along   with those eyes you could hypnotize   i reached for you but was paralyzed   i thought i sank down deep enough    but i couldn't quite love you off the cuff      so i thought i'd stop to talk the talk or    walk the walk to find a way to stick around   all a sudden you had your grasp   i lost my breath and hit the ground   pound round for round, i tried to stand   felt your breath and touched your hand    man, i reminisce the kiss i miss   don't know if i can handle this      let me be free      it used to be i'd walk a mile    to taste your laugh and see you smile   now all that's left is circumstance    with cheap perfume and cheap romance   still i knew that i would feel    all wrapped up tight in your little pill   chewed up, spat out, walked upon   tried to drink the cup but your grace was gone      ten past ten i tried again   to unlock the door and let you in   when like a draft you crept within   blew up, blown up, like the wind chill    factor, faster than i could   if i knew you weren't gonna love me then i    never would have gone inside your heart    where lies abide, and tried to stay alive      let me be free      woke up at the break of dawn   you locked me in and you were gone   woke up at the break of dawn   i should've seen it coming, all along      let me be free
