lyrics

We were walkin' down the empty street,
Talkin', how nice it is to meet
somebody you can talk to about anything.
My heart was poundin' faster than the light,
I was tremblin', full of fright:
what if I never get to see you again.

It was getting late when you said,
Said that you needed to go to bed,
So I stopped all the clocks for you instead.

Your eyes were gleamin', like the morning sun
After days of rain are done
As you talked about the songs that changed your life.
I'll admit that I felt like a boy again,
Giddy and noxious, oh but then
That's just what falling in love does to a man.

It was getting late when you said,
Said that you needed to go to bed,
So I stopped all the clocks for you instead.
