Time is going faster everyday
There’s a time explosion
Gotta make the most of love today
There’s a time explosion

Moving in perpetual motion

Don’t you leave your brother behind

Think that means our love and emotion

Slow it down and take your time

Life is tough but you can make it (make it)
If love is just a chance
You got to take it

Time Explosion
There’s a time explosion

Tic toc tic tic toc ti

Time is going faster everyday
There’s a time explosion
Gotta make the most of love today
There’s a time explosion

Baby let the pendulum swing

I wanna take you flying high

The hands of time will be our wings

Where love takes us, we’ll fly

Life is tough but you can make it (make it)
If love is just a chance
You got to take it

Time Explosion
There’s a time explosion

Time! Time!

Life is tough but you can make it (make it)
If love is just a chance
You got to take it

Time Explosion
There’s a time explosion

Time Explosion
Time Explosion
