Hands tick the time
On your side: a tattoo of a clock
And you perceive life slipping away from you
Each step that you walk
You take your time
And time takes you by the hand
It shouts “hold me, man”
But you already know that you can't
No, you're unable to do that
So lock the door
Punch the floor
Kick the walls in your room
Hold yourself tight in your arms
With a fear that now consumes you
He's lost his mind
Takes the plaster off the wall
To see a light, shining so bright
At the end of the unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that she burns
Even though she's pure like a dove
But how can you love somebody loving someone you can't seem to love?
[Chorus]
But hey there, girl
We'll make it all sincere
Won't you play a jam for me
And make my sadness disappear?
And hey there, child
We'll get the atmosphere right
Sing a blues for my dear
[Bridge]
She's lost her way
Out in the dark, I see her silhouette
It trembles deep
Inside the ocean of uncertainty
She needs someone to find the chest containing her self-esteem
But it's stuck
In the depth of her own neck
[Chorus]
But hey there, girl
We'll make it all sincere
Won't you play a jam for me
And make my sadness disappear?
And hey there, child
We'll get the atmosphere right
Sing a blues for my dear
But hey there, girl
We'll make it all sincere
Won't you play a jam for me
And make my sadness disappear?
And hey there, child
We'll get the atmosphere right
