Tick, Tick, Tick
Connor Buggy
Tick, Tick, Tick
The clock whispers, mocking my impatience, as I stare at the door
Just twenty minutes left
Just five minutes, four times more
Tick, Tick, Tick
My legs bounce up and down, and I play with my hair
Twenty minutes feels like an hour
I dream of the day outside of a classroom chair
Tick, Tick, Tick
Two minutes more
Two minutes more
Two minutes more
Tick, Tick, Tick
One by one they stand by the door
The teacher says “Wait until the bell rings!”
But they cannot take it anymore
Tick, Tick, Tick
Finally the sound was made
Loud and clear it rang and rang
But my happiness eventually begins to fade
Tick, Tick, Tick
Onto the next class as I scurry to take a seat
A new bell has rung
With a new clock to be beat
Tick, Tick, Tick
I'm back where I began
The clock whispers, mocking my impatience, as I stare at the door
Just twenty minutes left
Just five minutes, four times more
