Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You wake up, I know it's time to go
With a spinning head, I lie and watch you smoke
Change the hands on my watch and hold you close
This misery is weightless as a stone
[Verse 2]
Have you lost the same things I have lost?
Do you know the panic I know?
And would I see the terror in your face?
Do you know that fever I know?
[Verse 3]
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill
In our hearts without chains
And if time was still
We'd have no fear
Or scars to heal
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains
[Verse 4]
You left everything behind except yourself
But all I see is question marks and nothing else
You must have landed in New York by now
Please don't bring this love down
[Verse 5]
And have you lost the same things I have lost?
And do you know the panic I know?
And would I see the terror in your face?
And do you know that fever I know?
[Verse 6]
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill
In our hearts without chains
And if time was still
We'd have no fear
Or scars to heal
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains
[Verse 7]
Don't bring this love down
Don't bring this love down
Don't bring this love down
Don't bring this love down
[Verse 8]
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill
In our hearts without chains
And if time was still
We'd have no fear
Or scars to heal
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains
