When the ticker tape is cut off, maybe I'll wake up.
Time has started
The clock keeps ticking
These sick black noises
They keep on clicking
Where am I noticed
Where I can be true
Someone to hold me
Someone that's you

Every day I lie awake
Holding on to my mistakes
Watching my own vision drown
In a world that's falling down

Hold her/Need her/Love her/See her

And I need
One more day
To lie awake
(I need)One more time
To make mistakes
(I need)One last day
To fly away
(I need)One last time

One last time

Every time I walk alone
Every thought my mind condones
I think about every time I lie
And yet my own self lack to try

I'm a small sick thing at heart
She had known this from the start
I was so scared to admit
That she may have regretted it

Hold her/Need her/Love her/See her

And I need
One more day
To lie awake
(I need)One more time
To make mistakes
(I need)One last day
To fly away
(I need)One last time

One last time
One last time
One last time

One last...

So now it's time to go
And take this all away
I'm gonna leave this place
This is all I've got to say

Get away from all of this pain inside
I've gotta go can't seem to hide
There's one last place that I can run
There's only one more chance to claim the sun

Run away
With all of our memories
Stowed away
Inside a cardboard box

I'm so lost as to what to say
So repetitive I'm cast astray
Can't seem to find the time to pray
So I've learned to throw it all away

(Wake)/Time has started
The clock keeps ticking
(Me)/These sick black noises
They keep on clicking
(Up)/Where am I noticed
Where I can be true
(Wake)/Time has started
The clock keeps ticking
(Me)/These sick black noises
They keep on clicking
(Up)/Where am I noticed
Where I can be true

Wake me up when I can be true
Wake me up when I can be blue
Wake me up when the time has stopped
But for now I'll sleep to the sound of the clock
