A text just arrived, I'm 18
My virginity's gone, I'm not a kid anymore
The clock is ticking, the minutes are steamy
And I dream of speeding up time
A text just arrived, I'm 20
We did it without protection
But I don't want a kid
The clock is ticking, the minutes are infanticidal
And I dream of turning back time
A text just arrived, I'm 21
Nine months have passed
And still no kids
The clock is ticking, the minutes are smoothing out
And I dream, at peace, taking my time
A text just arrived, I'm 25
A tsunami swept everything away
The clock is ticking, the minutes are acidic
And I dream for the storm to pass
A text just arrived, I'm 28
Grandma's really tired and I'm not a kid anymore
The clock is ticking but her heart is committing suicide
And I dream, I dream of the good old days
A text will arrive, I'll be 30
30 years of freedom and suddenly, the reckoning
The clock is ticking, the minutes are wrinkles
And I dream, I dream of stopping time
