Clockworks - HunterGirl

Do you hear that? There goes another second
That you can't get back, take it from me
'Cause one minute, I'm little shoes, piggy tails
Dancin' with my Pa in the kitchen
And now he don't know what his mind keeps forgettin'
And like clockwork
I tell him my name, the date, and who he used to be, yeah

Life moves on, but I just can't
Hell, I'd do almost anything
If I could go back to how things were
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
It's like waking up one day full grown
And all you want is to put time in reverse
But that ain't how the clock works

If I could erase the words I told myself
At fifteen, I woulda worn that dress
I'd be heads up, heels on, hands not hiding my braces
Or cared a little less, woulda smiled more
Instead of letting that hourglass pour
I'll spend that sand like they ain't gonna make no more

Life moves on, but I just can't
Hell, I'd do almost anything
If I could go back to how things were
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
It's like waking up one day full grown
And all you want is to put time in reverse
But that ain't how the clock works

Take that trip, say "I love you," say it again
You can't slow it down or choose how fast it turns
No, that ain't how the clock works
Mm-mm

Life moves on, but I just can't
Hell, I'd do almost anything
If I can go back to how things were
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
It's like waking up one day full grown
And all you want is to put time in reverse
But that ain't how the clock works

(Take that trip, say "I love you," say it again)
No, that ain't how the clock works
(You can't slow it down or choose how fast it turns)

Do you hear that? There goes another second
That you can't get back, take it from me
