Below, you will find the lyrics for Stop the Clock by James Blunt.
Intro
Mmm, mmm, whoa-oh, mmm
Mmm, mmm, whoa-oh
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
It's like the hands of time
Are putting handcuffs on mine
And nothin' about this is holy
It's just killing me, killing me slowly
And i'm not ready yet
But i'm runnin' out of breath
And all i can do is watch
'cause i can't find no way to stop the clock
Mmm, mmm, whoa-oh
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
It's like the hands of time
Are putting handcuffs on mine
And nothin' about this is holy
It's just killing me, killing me slowly
And i'm not ready yet
But i'm runnin' out of breath
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
Sand just slips away and life goes way too fast
Chorus 3
It's like the hands of time
Are putting put handcuffs on mine
And nothin' about this is holy
It's just killing me, killing me slowly
And i'm not ready yet
But i'm runnin' out of breath
And all i can do is watch
But i can't find a way to stop the clock
