Lyrics
Verse 1
Midnight on the kitchen tile
The kettle's cold and the windows smile
I trace the rim of an empty glass
Counting hours that fade too fast
Sunday morning washed in blue
The ceiling fan makes the light come through
I'm holding on to a ghost of a day
Wishing that it'd stay
Pre-Chorus
And every tick is a step away from you
Every second is a stone I'm throwing through
Chorus
Keep the clock from turning
I want the hands to stay
Keep the clock from turning
Don't let this moment fade away
Keep the clock from turning
I'm not ready for the day
Keep it turning turning turning
No I don't want it turning
Post-Chorus
Round and round and round again
Round and round and round again
Verse 2
Your jacket's hanging by the door
A little closer than before
The TV's humming on mute tonight
Shadows dancing in the light
Car keys sitting on the shelf
I'm not sure I know myself
Without the sound of you around
This little house falls down
Pre-Chorus
And every hour pulls me further from your name
Every minute burns a candle to the flame
Chorus
Keep the clock from turning
I want the hands to stay
Keep the clock from turning
Don't let this moment fade away
Keep the clock from turning
I'm not ready for the day
Keep it turning turning turning
No I don't want it turning
Post-Chorus
Round and round and round again
Round and round and round again
Bridge
Five more minutes in your orbit
Five more seconds in your light
I would trade a hundred mornings
For one more hour in your night
So stop the gears and still the hands
Let the pendulum just breathe
Let the future wait forever
While I never have to leave
Chorus
Keep the clock from turning
I want the hands to stay
Keep the clock from turning
Don't let this moment fade away
Keep the clock from turning
I'm not ready for the day
Keep it turning turning turning
No I don't want it turning
Post-Chorus
Round and round and round again
Round and round and round again
Oh-oh-oh
Round and round and round again
