And it hurts my pride/
nowhere to hide/
Only got my shadow left by my side/
Change comes in time/
But it hurt my heart/
Knowin’ that we’ll never ever get a fresh start/
In my own personal hell is where I stay now/
But I smile and push the pain way down/
Too old to live/
but too young to lay down/
When you fall/
It’s too easy to stay down/
So I get up/
and I man up/
But my knees are weak/
It’s hard to stand up/
I fall again and again/
but get back up/
And when the devil comes collecting/
You better pay up/
So I stay up/
Until the sun rise/
This is me now/
This is my life/
It’s a long journey and one hell of a ride/
Everything on my side except for time/
 
Chorus:
Time goes on the clock keeps tickin’/
Can’t stop thinkin’ of what I’m missin’/
Times goes by/
(Tick Tock Tick Tock)
That’s me/
(Uh-Huh)
A real chip off the old block/
Time goes on the clock keeps tickin’/
Can’t stop thinkin’ of what I’m missin’/
Times goes by/
(Tick Tock Tick Tock)
That’s me/
(Uh-Huh)
A real chip off the old block/

Verse 2:
And the clock keeps tickin’/
There’s no stopping/
Everyone’s journey ends up in a coffin/
But I gotta Jonesin’/
I gotta longin’/
to go back in time way too often/
I keep livin’/
and I keep on truckin’/
What’s livin’ if you ain’t livin’ for something/
All too often we come up with nothin’/
So I do what I do best/
I keep runnin’/
Runaway train/
never goin’ back/
Runaway thoughts as I fade to black/
Runaway from today/
Runaway from the past/
But time keeps tickin’ away/
And nothing ever lasts/
What’s here now can be gone in a flash/
And every high/
Comes complete with a crash/
But it’s okay everyone strays off the track/
Just when you do/
Keep comin’ back/
 
Chorus

The times come and go/
And people don’t last/
You control everything except the past/
The kingdom has come and risen and fell/
Left livin’ in my own personal hell/
I hold on tight and I hold my own/
Heavy is the head/
That sits on his throne/
The king has fallen/
The throne is empty/
Can’t turn back life’s just too busy/
Will you miss me when I’m gone/
Hold on tight/
Baby be strong/
All that’s left in the end are ashes/
But we had it all it was fantastic/
Can’t turn around and we can’t go back/
When the tears come/
I can’t hold back/
You’ll never know this/
If you live by that/
And yesterday’s dreams are just today’s trash/

Chorus
