Every clock tick scrapes right by like nails on a chalkboard in my mind
‘cause every second, every breath is just one less that we have left
And time, time’s a wasting
Every minute of every day, a million moments slip away
As this world spins through outer space around the sun like hands on Big Ben's face
And time, time’s a wasting
Time, time’s a wasting (Time’s a wasting, time’s a wasting)
So why, why are we waiting? (Tell me why, tell me why are we waiting?)
When my days are done and this life is through
I don’t wanna regret the things I didn’t do
I’d rather to get to living my life with you
Because time, time’s a wasting
Time’s a wasting
Now, I don’t know what tomorrow brings, a broken heart or a golden ring
So tell me what it’s gonna be, ‘cause I can’t wait for eternity
So love me, leave me, let me be
Or take my hand and walk with me 'cause
Time, time’s a wasting (time’s a wasting, time’s a wasting)
So why, why are we waiting? (tell me why, tell me why are we waiting?)
When my days are done and this life is through
I don’t wanna regret the things I didn’t do
I’d rather to get to living my life with you
Because time, time’s a wasting (time’s a wasting, time’s a wasting)
Yeah, time’s a wasting (tell me why, tell me why are we waiting)
Time, time’s a wasting
Time’s a wasting
Time’s a wasting
