Everyday a get a little bit closer to
The resolution that I am not yet bullet-proof
Oh, the battle within rages on and on
The neighbourhood seems so small

The church on the corner
Has steps good for waiting
I should go in but I'm tired of praying
And anyway

I can't stop the bells
Ringing since you've been gone
I thought I was moving on
But I think of nothing else

I can't break the spell
I still hear you every place
Can't forget what I saw in your face
I know every inch so well

I can't stop the bells
Can't stop the bells
Can't stop the bells
I can't stop the bells
Can't stop the bells

And it doesn't even matter what's going on
The sound in my head is constant
And I can't turn it of

Oh, and patience is hard
When you just don't know
Where all the waiting is taking you
The church on the corner

From down in December
That kiss in the doorway
I still won't surrender
And anyway

I can't stop the bells
Ringing since you've been gone
I thought I was moving on
But I think of nothing else

I can't break the spell
I still hear you every place
You don't know what you left in your way
I guess I'm not so well

I wish you'd feel what I feel
For a moment just see what I see
Then you'd know that I won't find peace
Until you come back to me

I thought I was moving on
But I think of nothing else

I can't stop the bells
I still hear you every place
Can't forget what I saw in your face
I know every inch so well

I can't stop the bells
Can't stop the bells
Can't stop the bells
I can't stop the bells
Can't stop the bells
