James Blunt - Stop the Clock lyrics

Mmm, mmm, whoa oh, mmm mmm, mmm, whoa oh

Did it take you a minute
To realize 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 (Woah oh)
Are putting handcuffs on mine (Woah oh)
And nothin' about this is holy
It’s just killing me, killing me slowly
And I’m not ready yet (Woah oh)
But I’m runnin' out of breath (Woah oh)
And all I can do is watch
‘Cause I can’t find no way to stop the clock

Mmm, mmm, whoa oh, mmm mmm, mmm, whoa oh

I hear that long black train
It's runnin' outta track
And I’m no coward but right now
I've got no power
So 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 (Woah oh)
Are putting handcuffs on mine (Woah oh)
And nothin' about this is holy
It’s just killing me, killing me slowly
And I’m not ready yet (Woah oh)
But I’m runnin' out of breath (Woah 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, ooh)
Sand just slips away and life
Goes way too fast

(Hey) it’s like the hands of time
(Keep taking away from me)
Are putting put handcuffs on mine
(They’ll never set me free)
And nothin' 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 runnin' out of breath
(One step ahead of me)
And all I can do is watch
But I can’t find a way to stop the clock
