[Verse 1]

What's this ticking in my head?

How could something so subtle

Hurt so fucking bad?

And am I kidding myself if I tell myself it's the best I ever had?

[Pre-Chorus]

Guess I'll open up this bottle

Drink away tomorrow

And pick up where I'm at

I'll pick up where I'm at

I'll pick up where I'm at

[Chorus]

I've been standing in the California sun

Faded and used

Just like everyone you thought you knew

Well I thought you knew

Time, it ticks away

Just like all our colors fade to grey

Like everyone you thought you knew

Well I thought you knew

[Verse 2]

So much swallowing the air is thin

And you'd say I'm Apollo

'Cause in this hollow space I'm spacing out again

So stop, don't follow

Stop, don't follow in my sins

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess I'll open up this bottle

Drink away tomorrow

And pick up where I'm at

I'll pick up where I'm at

I'll pick up where I'm at

[Chorus]

I've been standing in the California sun

Faded and used

Just like everyone you thought you knew

Well I thought you knew

Time, it ticks away

Just like all our colors fade to grey

Like everyone you thought you knew

Well I thought you knew

[Bridge]

What's this ticking in my head?

Guess I'll open up this bottle

Drink away tomorrow

And pick up where I'm at

What's this ticking in my head?

Guess I'll open up this bottle

Drink away tomorrow

And pick up where I'm at

[Chorus]

I've been standing in the California sun

Faded and used

Just like everyone you thought you knew

Well I thought you knew

Time, it ticks away

Just like all our colors fade to grey

Like everyone you thought you knew

Well I thought you knew

[Outro]

What's this ticking in my head?

Guess I'll open up this bottle

Drink away tomorrow

And pick up where I'm at

What's this ticking in my head?

Guess I'll open up this bottle

Drink away tomorrow

And pick up where I'm at
