(Quiet) Ticking away-ay-ay Please, can someone scratch this crazy itch of mine, I've had enough of this double life I've been trying to hide, It's splits in the middle, When it shouldn't be split at all, Yeah these divides they've got to fall, [Pre-Chorus] Well this lightning in my veins is feeling comfortable at last, There's fire in this rain and it's filling these puddles pretty fast, And despite the fact I feel the same as so many who came before, I'm going to step it up and give it my all, [Chorus] Welcome back to a new beginning, What once was and what you had is slipping away-ay-ay, We'll hold them back 'till the world stops spinning, Stall for time 'till time starts ticking away-ay-ay, (Quiet) Ticking away-ay-ay Ticking away-ay-ay Please can someone find me something else to do, My wings get heavy when they're being underused, These tides are a'changing, and it's apt to change even more, So why not change our course, [Pre-Chorus] This lightning in my veins is feeling comfortable at last, So I'll embrace this change and wave a goodbye to my past, And despite the fact I feel the same as so many who came before, I'm going to step it up and give it some more, [Chorus] Welcome back to a new beginning, What once was and what you had is slipping away-ay-ay, We'll hold them back 'till the world stops spinning, Stall for time 'till time starts ticking away-ay-ay, [Final Chorus] Welcome back to a new beginning, What once was and what you had is slipping away-ay-ay, We'll hold them back 'till the world stops spinning, Stall for time 'till time starts ticking away-ay-ay, (Quiet) Ticking away-ay-ay
