Intro)
(Sound of a ticking clock that morphs into a heavy dance beat)
(One chance, two chance)
I’m wide awake, baby.
Let’s go!
(Verse 1)
Staring at the ceiling, it’s a quarter to three
The silence in this room is getting louder than me
I’m a Night Owl circling your house again
Trying to find the words to be more than a friend
I know I let the minutes slip through my hands
But I’m back with a heart and a brand new plan.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Staccato rhythm)
Every second (Second!)
Every minute (Minute!)
My life is empty if you aren't in it
The hour hand is heavy and it’s pulling me down
I’m the only soul awake in this whole ghost town!
(Chorus)
Baby, it’s that Tick Tock Love, I’m racing the time
Give me another chance to make you mine
I’m a Night Owl flying through the 4 A.M. blue
I’ll stay up forever just to get back to you!
(Whoa-oh-oh!)
Yeah, the clock is ticking, baby!
(Whoa-oh-oh!)
Give me that Tick Tock Love!
(Bridge)
(Slowing down – Bieber style "Purpose" vocals)
Don’t let the sun come up and wash us away
I’ve got three more hours to make you stay
Oooooh-waaaay-oh!
Before the alarm rings, before the day begins...
Let me in!
(Final Chorus)
Baby, it’s that Tick Tock Love, I’m racing the time
Give me another chance to make you mine
I’m a Night Owl flying through the 4 A.M. blue
I’ll stay up forever just to get back to you!
(Outro)
Tick-tock... (Yeah)
Tick-tock... (One more chance)
(Clock sound stops abruptly on a heavy beat)
