Stop the Clock

Lyrics

Mmm
 Mmm
 Whoa-oh, mmm
 Mmm
 Mmm
 Whoa-oh
 Did it take you a minute to realise that I'm deep in it?
 'Cause it feels like hours, I've been stuck here thinking
 I get down, down on my knees
 Begging, begging, please
 Every single prayer's wasted in the air
 (Hey) It's like the hands of time (Oh-oh)
 Have put handcuffs on mine (Oh-oh)
 And nothing about this is holy
 It's just killing me, killing me slowly
 And I'm not ready yet (Oh-oh)
 But I'm running outta breath (Oh-oh)
 And all I can do is watch
 'Cause I can't find a way
 To stop the clock
 Mmm
 Mmm
 Whoa-oh, mmm
 Mmm
 Mmm
 Whoa-oh
 I hear that long, black train, it's running outta track
 And I'm no coward but right now, I've got no powers
 On no more you and me
 We all get eulogies
 But most of them, I swear, are wasted in the air
 (Hey) It's like the hands of time (Oh-oh)
 Have put handcuffs on mine (Oh-oh)
 And nothing about this is holy
 It's just killing me, killing me slowly
 And I'm not ready yet (Oh-oh)
 But I'm running outta breath (Oh-oh)
 And all I can do is watch
 'Cause I can't find a way
 I can't find a way to
 Stop the hourglass now (Ooh, ooh)
 Sand just slips away and
 Life goes way too fast
 It's like the hands of time (Keep taking away from me)
 Have put handcuffs on mine (They'll never set me free)
 And nothing about this is holy
 It's just killing me, killing me slowly
 And I'm not ready yet (I don't want you to leave)
 But I'm running outta breath (One step ahead of me)
 And all I can do is watch
 But I can't find a way
 To stop the clock
