We stopped time for a couple months
When we found our touch
So electric it put a halt to the clutch
The cadence of our hearts
Sped up, as the the click of it’s moving parts
Slowed down, as love was more than love between you and me
A love that was more than this earth could see
Rising to the heavens where we could truly gleam
As the clockwork stopped under our feet
We stopped time for a couple months
When we felt strong against the tide
A tide of time that we almost defeated in our stride
We spoke in whispers of love, kisses, and touch
So the clocks wouldn’t hear us cheating time so much
We stopped time for a couple months
Standing on the gears of the clock
Halting its works,
We paused time for months
For weeks
For minutes
You could make time stand still forever I reckon
Until it came down to the very second
In the last second,
The strength of the clockwork shed your bones, blood, and being
Far away from me, as I stood there shedding mainly tears
Immense tears to heavy the tides of time
So no one would be strong enough to swim against it
Now the clocks are stronger than love to reign
So no one can feel what I lost again
