Seconds

Seconds, I missed him just by seconds
 I missed him in the moment that it takes a door to open
 All the plans that I had dreamed of
 All the dreams that I was hoping for
 Were shattered by the movement of the
 little hand that ticks away the seconds
 That's all it takes, it's seconds
 The rain has stopped the traffic
 And it seemed my hopes were fading
 Nothing moved across the city
 While I prayed he still was waiting there
 Knowing that my life was riding on
 the hand that ticks away the seconds
 I've got more know than seconds
 I've got myself a lifetime
 I've got all the time I needed
 I can sit here with this letter
 Nothing else to do but read it
 Nothing else to do but listen
 While the ticking clock keeps ticking
 Left my life with nothing else
 No, nothing else but seconds
 And all the men I've met since then
 Seconds
