[Intro] Tick-tock Tick-tock Tick-tock life (yeah) [Verse 1] Alarm rings Eyes still closed Room so quiet Feels like snow Phone in hand Nowhere to go Hundred faces Still alone Smile on screen Tears in bed Same four walls In my head I tell myself “Just one more day” Heartbeat counting Anyway [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes I wanna disappear Pull the covers to my ears Sometimes I need a stupid joke ’Til I can’t even breathe, I choke [Chorus] Life goes like tick-tock, tick-tock Up then it drops Smile then it stops But we still find joy in the small things One message, one meme Hot ramen with steam That silly old dream Life goes like tick-tock, tick-tock Slow, then it flies Tears in your eyes I’ll sit with your silence till it sings You’re lonely tonight But I’m on your side In tiny, tiny things (yeah, yeah) In tiny, tiny things [Verse 2] Sometimes I’m tired of “I’m fine” Type it out, then backspace the line Wanna call, but I hit decline Let it ring in the dark this time Then my friend sends me that clip Spills their drink, almost trips I laugh hard, almost spit Suddenly the world’s not all grit Warm rice bowl at the table Family talking in fables They fight, then they share the cable Love looks small, but it’s stable [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes you wanna lock the door Lay your heart flat on the floor Sometimes you need the voices loud Pull you back into the crowd [Chorus] ’Cause life goes like tick-tock, tick-tock Up then it drops Smile then it stops But we still find joy in the small things One message, one meme Hot ramen with steam That silly old dream Life goes like tick-tock, tick-tock Slow, then it flies Tears in your eyes I’ll sit with your silence till it sings You’re lonely tonight But I’m on your side In tiny, tiny things (oh-woah) In tiny, tiny things [Bridge] If your room feels cold Turn the screen light gold Let my voice unfold Like a hand you hold When your heartbeat hurts Count it with my words Every second heard You’re not just a blur [Chorus] Life goes like tick-tock, tick-tock Up then it drops Smile then it stops But we still find joy in the small things One message, one meme Hot ramen with steam That silly old dream Life goes like tick-tock, tick-tock Slow, then it flies Tears in your eyes I’ll sit with your silence till it sings You’re lonely tonight But I’m on your side In tiny, tiny things Tick-tock, tick-tock We’ll find our wings In tiny, tiny things
