about

This song is about being at a show and some annoying fuck is trying to talk to you about their cause or whatever they care about and it's raining and you just want to go inside and see the goddamn band playing but you just lit up a cigarette and it would look weird if you extinguished it right away to excuse yourself from this shitty annoying conversation.

Based on a true story.

lyrics

V1

Whether you stared at the clock

Or try to wind it back

Time moved without you

And the sky begins to crack.

You say you can't relate

And it's just not the same

I could never understand

All the things that cause you pain.

:Chorus:

Tick tick

We've got no time to talk.

Tick tick

Let's not stand here and gawk

You've already got your reasons

Out-lined in chalk

But I don't want to give in and just talk.

V2

You keep talking at me

Instead of talking with.

I don't care who you hate now

Stop talking shit.

The things that you believe in

Don't mean much to me.

I'd rather hear the bands

I came here to see.

V3

I've got no desire to argue

This isn't a debate.

Talk to me like an adult

And things will be great.

Your cause is important

But maybe just to you.

I won't carry your banner

Or whatever it is you do.

:Chorus:

Tick tick

We've got no time to talk.

Tick tick

Let's not stand here and gawk

You've already got your reasons

Out-lined in chalk

But I don't want to give in and just talk.
