Hurry Up And Wait (aka Tick, Tock)
Time.
Grows shorter, seems longer.
Slow down, hurry up.
Getting behind, ahead of schedule.
Time.
Need more hours in a day.
The day is dragging.
Need a way to manage my time.
Looking at the clock.
Looking at my watch.
Another minute gone by, tick tock, tick tock.
And the odd comment:
"I don't have time"
"Take your time!"
"Don't waste my time"
"Not on my time"
Seems as if the world is fixated on one thing:
Time.
Grows shorter, seems longer.
Slow down, hurry up.
Getting behind, ahead of schedule.
Time.
Need more hours in a day.
The day is dragging.
Need a way to manage my time.
Looking at the clock.
Looking at my watch.
Another minute gone by, tick tock, tick tock.
And the odd comment:
"I don't have time"
"Take your time!"
"Don't waste my time"
"Not on my time"
Seems as if the world is fixated on one thing:
Time.
