lyrics

The Watchmaker

Springs and wheels and tiny screws
There’s always so much you can lose
Some things aren’t yours to choose
Springs and wheels and tiny screws

Dials hands and little pins
Patience is a virtue but waiting around here is a sin
You take your pride as the gears spin
Dials hands and little pins

And your bath it starts to drip
While the second the hand still clicks
You only ever had one wish
And it didn’t go like this

A little rust but it still winds
It hurts to think about those old lives
Debts unpaid and buried wives
A little rust but it still winds

Now broken glass covers your face
Some things you just cannot replace
The months and years and moments waste
Now broken glass covers your face

And your bath it starts to drip
While the second the hand still clicks
You only ever had one wish
And it didn’t go like this

They say you can’t live with your regrets
Is it too late to take that bet?
