Lyrics[]
Tried to fix the broken pieces, now I'm leaving
But you made it loud and clear I’m not enough
Tried to fool me more than once to keep me dreaming
'Cause you knew the truth would tear us apart
If you pull me down then I'll come around
And rise up to come show you who I am
I feel fire inside, my heart’s desire
I'm breaking free from you
Tick-tock, watch the days go
I'm losing track of time
Lost in your playzone
Don't overcomplicate
Now we're in warzone
You're screaming, "Oh no, oh no, oh no"
Tick-tock, I'll take you dancing
In time wе might break
You think you're fancy
I play those gamеs my way and you’ll be beggin’
"Please baby, don't go, don’t go, don't go"
I hear those voices from far away
They help me to escape (Escape)
I found myself and I'm finally free from
Your bad love in every strength
Tick-tock, watch the days go
I'm losing track of time
Lost in your playzone
Don’t overcomplicate
Now we're in warzone
You're screaming, "Oh no, oh no, oh no"
Dancin', dancin'
Think you, think you fancy
Tick-tock
Don't go, don't go, don't go
I hear those voices from far away
They help me to escape (Escape)
I found myself and I'm finally free from
Your bad love in every strength
Tick-tock, vrijeme curi
Gdje si više
Usne grizem sama
Jedva dišem Tick-tock, vrijeme juri
Ne mogu više "Oh no, oh no"
Tick-tock, I'll take you dancing
In time wе might break
You think you're fancy
I play those gamеs my way and you’ll be beggin’
"Please baby, don't go, don’t go, don't go"
Dancin', dancin'
Think you, think you fancy
Tick-tock
Don't go, don't go, don't go
Trivia[]
- Tick-Tock was the first entry to come within the top ten in the juries and televoting, but not qualifying in the end.
- Max Cinnamon, who helped write the song, was a finalist in Destination Eurovision 2018 in France with the song "Ailleurs".
- During the live performance, neither Albina nor her dancers set foot on the main stage, instead performing the song entirely on the b-stage with the transparent LED screen as their backdrop.
