2nd Verse
Every night it's the same old crowd
In smokey rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms
I've been around this block
A time or two
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you
Chorus
Bridge:
^B/A Time time ticking, ticking away
^B Time time ticking, ticking away
3rd Verse
People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down
God knows we could use some romance
In this sleepy bedroom town
I know you're still afraid
To rush into anything
But there're just so many summers
And just so many springs
Chorus and End
