Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac po
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac po

La dernière seconde vient toucher le fond du sablier
Il ne me reste plus que le passer pour continuer de rêver
Au pire des moments, le gong a sonné
Je gèlerais le temps pour te retrouver

Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac po
Mon temps est compté
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac po
Comment avancer (Comment avancer)
Mon temps est compté (Mon temps est compté)
Comment reculer (Comment reculer)
Tout recommencer, yeah

Même si je te sens partir ailleurs
Entends-tu l'écho de mes mots
Je ferais de chaque jour une éternité, oh oh oh
Oublier que passent les minutes et les heures
J'empêcherai les aiguilles de tourner
Je déjouerai le destin pour te ramener

Au pire des moments le gong a sonné
Je gèlerais le temps pour te retrouver

Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac po
Mon temps est compté
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac
Tikitiki tactac po
Comment avancer (Comment avancer)
Mon temps est compté (Mon temps est compté)
Comment reculer (Comment reculer)
Tout recommencer, yeah

Comment avancer (Comment avancer)
Mon temps est compté (Mon temps est compté)
Comment reculer (Comment reculer)
Tout recommencer, yeah oh
