Stop the Clock - James Blunt

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

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 got no powers

On no more you and me

We all get eulogies

But most of them, I swear, are wasted in the air

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
