Ticking Time Bomb Lyrics

[Chorus]
You may think I'm harmless
You could not be more wrong
Careful what you do
I am just a ticking time bomb
You may think I'm laughing
You couldn't be more stupid
I'm laughing 'cause I know
That someday this ticking bomb will explode

[Verse 1]
If I said what I've been thinking
They would lock me up for good
I know you just won't understand me
Like the unabomber would


[Pre-Chorus]
It appears to you I'm so together
But my plans are so much bigger than this

[Chorus]
You may think I'm harmless
You could not be more wrong
Careful what you do
I am just a ticking time bomb
You may think I'm laughing
You couldn't be more stupid
I'm laughing 'cause I know
That someday this ticking bomb will explode
[Verse 2]
Every day, I see a new thing
That makes me wanna start a fight
But I just stack the ammunition
And let the pressure build inside


[Pre-Chorus]
It appears to you I'm so together
But my plans are so much bigger than this

[Chorus]
You may think I'm harmless
You could not be more wrong
Careful what you do
I am just a ticking time bomb
You may think I'm laughing
You couldn't be more stupid
I'm laughing 'cause I know
That someday this ticking bomb will explode

[Post-Chorus]
Explode, explode, exploding
Explode, explode, exploding

[Bridge]
I kiss so soft and sweetly
And you feel so safe bein' with me
But I try so hard to be happy
Boy, you make it look so easy
[Chorus]
You may think I'm harmless
You could not be more wrong
Careful what you do
I am just a ticking time bomb
You may think I'm laughing
You couldn't be more stupid
I'm laughing 'cause I know
That someday this ticking bomb will explode

[Outro]
Explode, explode, exploding
Explode, explode, exploding

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
