[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
