Stop The Clock
James Blunt
[Intro] Mmm Mmm-mmm (Whoa-oh) mm Mmm Mmm-mmm (Whoa-oh) [Verse 1] 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!) [Chorus] It’s like the hands of time (Oh-oh) Are putting 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 D N.C. ’Cause I can’t find a way to stop the clock [Post-Chorus] Mmm Mmm-mmm (Whoa-oh) mm Mmm Mmm-mmm (Whoa-oh) mm [Verse 2] I hear that long black train it’s running outta track And I’m no coward but right now I got no powers Oh no more you and me we all get eulogies But most of them I swear are wasted in the air (Hey!) [Chorus] It’s like the hands of time (Oh-oh) Are putting 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 [Bridge] I can t find a way to stop the hourglass now (Ooh ooh) Sand just slips away and life goes way too fast [Chorus] It’s like the hands of time (Keep taking away from me) Are putting 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 D N.C. But I can’t find a way to stop the clock
