lyrics

Dear Mom, this one’s for you
For so long love has been due
I can’t change time but I sure can blur lines
And kick and scream fine while to heaven you climb

If I could strike a deal up with the devil
I’d go way back and I’d make life more level
All those bad times, I’d make ‘em more tangible
Eliminate them all ‘cause life is too full

Get over myself, make fewer commitments
Break those bad habits and learn when to take hints
Fight fewer battles, be not ashamed to sob
Make a point to not lie and don’t fall for heartthrobs

If I could strike a deal up with the devil
I’d go way back and I’d make life more level
All those bad times, I’d make ‘em more tangible
Eliminate them all ‘cause life is too full

Na na na…
Tick tock, tick tock…

I’d take ‘em all, shirk their time along with them
In Pandora’s Box, a microsecond of mayhem
All that would remain would be more time for you
If I could undo

Maybe it’d change who I am as a person
But it’d be worth it to not be on the run
You made time for me, I made no time for you
Life gives us cancer and love lets us renew

I’d get over myself, make fewer commitments
Break those bad habits and learn when to take hints
Fight fewer battles, be not ashamed to sob
Make a point to not lie and don’t fall for heartthrobs

I’d take ‘em all, shirk their time along with them
In Pandora’s Box, a microsecond of mayhem
All that would remain would be more time for you
If I could undo

Na na na…
Tick tock, tick tock…
