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
