stop the clock

Singer: 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

have put handcuffs on mine

and nothing about this is holy

it's just killing me

killing me slowly

and i'm not ready yet

but i'm running outta breath

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

have put handcuffs on mine

and nothing about this is holy

it's just killing me

killing me slowly

and i'm not ready yet

but i'm running outta breath

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

sand just slips away and life goes way too fast

it's like the hands of time

have put handcuffs on mine

and nothing about this is holy

it's just killing me

killing me slowly

and i'm not ready yet

but i'm running outta breath

and all i can do is watch

but i can't find a way

to stop the clock
