Lyrics of Clockwork by Laufey
[Intro]
(Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong)
[Verse 1]
Swore I’d Never Do This Again
Think That I’m So Clever, I Could Date A Friend
He Just Called Me, Said He’s Runnin’ Late
Like Me, He Probably Had To Regurgitate
I Know, It’s Irrational, At Least I’m Self-aware
I’m Shivering, Maybe I’ll Stay Home, Oh Shit, He’s Here
[Chorus]
My Head’s A Wild Place
I’ve Considered Every Way
Words I’ll Forget, Deeply Regret, He’ll Run Away
And Nothing Brings Me Fear Like Meeting With My Destiny
But Like Clockwork, Think He Fell In Love With Me
(Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong)
[Verse 2]
Now We’re Drinking
Caught Him Fight Or Flight
I Think I Might Be Loving This Romantic Night
Damn, He’s Smiling, Starin’ Back At Me
We’re At The Arcade, Think It’s Going Perfectly
I Know, I’m Dramatic, But I Caved In At His Touch
I Want Him Forever, Oh My God, I’ve Said Too Much
[Chorus]
My Head’s A Wild Place
I’ve Considered Every Way
Words I’ll Forget, Deeply Regret, I’ll Run Away
And Nothing Brings Me Fear Like Meeting With My Destiny
[Outro]
But Good God, I Think He Fell In Love
Tick, Tock, And I Fell In Love Too
Like Clockwork, I Fell In Love With You
(Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong)
