Seven Seconds To Breakdown lyrics

She felt time move faster every day she lived Minutes become seconds and the sands run through her fingertips She’s just 18 and a state Has 13 coffees a day But they grow cold, she’s lost control as all the light fades away Her birthdays pass in a flash   Wishing those easy days back Imaginary friends Bake cookies, make dens But times in charge and everything ends No, no no no no no no no no no no no no! Seven seconds to breakdown What makes you whole now Doubled you’re age but half alive Gum and sixpence in your purse You’re Living in reverse Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time Why not take five Four-get your mind It’s not like we get three lives Two overcome With all you haven’t done Too late 5,4,3,2,1 Last week she tried yoga, bought a scrunchie and a mat New things help the time move slow, the internet told her that She’d reached a 20 and 5 Blue Beaten trainers were tied But simply couldn’t outrun the constant pacing of time The tick-a-tok of the clock Just take your time babe and stop But takings a task   Cos how do you clasp The passage of time when it’s moving so fast No, no no no no no no no no no no no no! Seven seconds to breakdown What makes you whole now Doubled you’re age but half alive Gum and sixpence in your purse You’re Living in reverse Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time Why not take five Four-get your mind It’s not like we get three lives Two overcome With all you haven’t done Too late 5,4,3,2,1 And now she’s sat at your bed Counting the breaths in her head Trying hard to memorise all that you’ve said At 35 the time stopped A Goodbye shared at this spot To the one who taught how to read the hands of a watch Seven seconds to breakdown What makes you whole now Blinded by time when she’s half alive Call it six writes down the nurse No clocks can’t be reversed Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time Why not take 5 Four-get your mind It’s not like we get three lives Two overcome With all you haven’t done Too late 5,4,3,2
