I'm an anchor on the line Of a clock that tells the time That is running out on you Take some time before you go Think of Monday's coming down And the people that you knew And the ones that aren't around You've been fading day to day I've been movin' town to town If I could give all my love to you I could justify myself (Aah) But I'm just not coming through You're a pill to ease the pain (Ooh) Of all the stupid things I do I'm an anchor on the line Of a clock that tells the time, yeah If I could give all my love to you I could justify myself (Aah) But I'm just not coming through You're a pill to ease the pain (Ooh) Of all the stupid things I do I'm an anchor on the line Of a clock that tells the time That is running out on you
