Clock Is Ticking

I keep checking the time on the wall
Waiting by the phone for your sudden call
My hands are shaking with a strange chill
I just cannot keep my restless body still
Pacing back and forth across the wooden floor
Listening for footsteps right outside my door
My breathing is heavy and my throat is dry
I am so nervous and I wonder why

The second hand is moving way too slow
There are so many things I need to know
My stomach ties into a heavy tight knot
I am giving this moment everything I got

This nervous waiting is driving me so crazy
My busy mind is getting blurred and hazy
I feel the anxious pounding in my chest
I really cannot find a second of rest
Every shadow makes me quickly turn my head
Hanging onto every single word you said

I fixed my collar for the hundredth time
Listening to the distant city clock chime
I practiced my lines in the bathroom mirror
Hoping that my nervous voice will be clearer
The silence in the room is much too loud
I wish I could hide inside a moving cloud
My fingers tap a rhythm on the empty chair
I am breathing in the heavy and tense air

The second hand is moving way too slow
There are so many things I need to know
My stomach ties into a heavy tight knot
I am giving this moment everything I got

This nervous waiting is driving me so crazy
My busy mind is getting blurred and hazy
I feel the anxious pounding in my chest
I really cannot find a second of rest
Every shadow makes me quickly turn my head
Hanging onto every single word you said

Just a few more minutes until you arrive
This anxiety is eating me completely alive
I need to calm down and take a breath
This anticipation feels like a sudden death
I wipe the cold sweat from my shaking brow
Everything is coming to the surface right now

This nervous waiting is driving me so crazy
My busy mind is getting blurred and hazy
I feel the anxious pounding in my chest
I really cannot find a second of rest
Every shadow makes me quickly turn my head
Hanging onto every single word you said

This nervous waiting is driving me so crazy
My busy mind is getting blurred and hazy
I feel the anxious pounding in my chest
I really cannot find a second of rest
Every shadow makes me quickly turn my head
Hanging onto every single word you said
