lyrics

they're driving you crazy
some mean and some are lazy
they're never quite the same as the time you first found comfort
in the funny little stories that they told to you
they're driving you batty
some sweet and some are bratty
they always seem around so why ever worry about them going anywhere
with or without you?

but your breath is always gasping
and your chest you're always grasping
so quick, while there's still time
tell them that you need them
so quick, while there's still time
tell them that you love them

they're pushy they're stoic
today they seem heroic
they're never quite the same as when the memory of their face
slips through your arms
they're hard to follow
you call out their name
weird, they do same
their voice ain't quite as heard as it's fading away in the cold night air
so thin and hollow

and our clock is always ticking
one day we'll surely find it sticking
so quick, while there's still time
tell them that you need them
so quick, while there's still time
tell them that you love them

i want to give you my whole world
i'd stop its spin while we both twirl
while holding you i can feel the pulse pick up
it's ticking minutes to midnight
a time that takes another of our days
with my heart on my sleeve
will you come and retrieve it?

don't you know that i love you?
don't you know that i need you?
so quick, while there's still time
find the beauty that's fleeting
so quick, while there's still time
let's feel our little hearts beating

the minute, the second
these moments have been reckoned
you may never get another chance to wake up in the morning
laying next to them
in a world of blue
they hug you, they kiss you
wow how much they've missed you
they'd open up their door and let the warmth bring you inside from
the cold night air
they'd have no issue

so quick, since there's not time
before it all will fall apart
tell them that you love them
