Lyrics

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 thinkin'
I get down, down on my knees
Beggin', beggin', please
Every single prayer's wasted in the air
(Hey)
It's like the hands of time (Whoa-oh)
Have put handcuffs on mine (Whoa-oh)
And nothin' about this is holy
It's just killin' me
Killin' me slowly
And I'm not ready yet (Whoa-oh)
But I'm runnin' out of breath (Whoa-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 runnin' outta track
And I'm no coward
But right now
I've 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)
It's like the hands of time (Whoa-oh)
Have put handcuffs on mine (Whoa-oh)
And nothin' about this is holy
It's just killin' me
Killin' me slowly
And I'm not ready yet (Whoa-oh)
But I'm runnin' out of breath (Whoa-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 takin' away from me)
Have put handcuffs on mine
(They'll never set me free)
And nothin' about this is holy
It's just killin' me
Killin' 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
