Ticking

I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I'm willing but I cannot keep you, girl Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night The thing about a long rope is you can't hold on too tight Wooden floors and coffee cups Stepped on and all used up But I reckon that's what morning are for And everyone thinks they know me now In these close minded leave-me towns But I'm too young to even know myself There's wheels running down the interstate Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you There's time ticking on the interstate And Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you And all my friends have moved away Some got jobs and some got saved They talk to me like I am still that kid The fighting, fiendin' Okie son The restless, reckless, hopeful one Who once was proud of everything he did Do you remember twenty-five Long legs and loving time? Seems like ten lifetimes ago I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I'm willing, but I really have to go There's wheels running down the interstate But, Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you There's time ticking on the interstate I'm fighting fate And, Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world I love you and I'm willing, but I cannot keep you, girl Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night The thing about high hopes is you can't hold on too tight --- Ticking - Zach Bryan
