[Intro]
Tick-tick, the clockwork glow
I’m the shy apprentice, moving slow
[Verse 1]
The sprite slips off with the song I know
I trade a memory for the chorus glow
Gears hinge soft, the workshop fades to white
I count the seconds till the tune feels right
[Chorus]
sing it back to me
let my heartbeat carry the melody
sing it back to me
[Verse 2]
A new truth wakes inside my chest
the melody lives there, beating in my best
the memory's gone, but the tune remains
I hear the chorus in every pulse that stays
[Chorus]
sing it back to me
the heartbeat now hosts music in its breath
sing it back to me
[Outro]
I’ll hold the time and hum the tune
until the gears align and sing in tune
