If life is about energy, then you must have it made
All that you took from me I wish I would have saved
Revealing all this error yet I smile and condone
I really must admit to you the fault is all my own

So when you want to keep your love, better to give it all away
‘Cause the clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save

If speaking is revealing, then silence is a curse
The road you’re on, the life you lead, has all been well rehearsed
The friends you’ve made, and time goes by, and the letters never sent
We think we were invincible, but that time has come and went

So, when you want to keep your love, better to give it all away
‘Cause the clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save

If ignorance breeds confidence, then I am surely brave
If bad breaks lead to better things, our life should be a rave
The fool on the hill sees it all over town
A family tradition to keep on passing it around

So, when you want to keep your love, better to give it all away
‘Cause the clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save

Now you won’t catch me apologizing, but I done dropped the ball
You won’t ever see me cry, can’t break down that wall
So, practice what you preach my friends and give it all away
‘Cause the clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can’t stop ticking and love you cannot save
The clock you can't stop ticking and love you cannot save
