Someone stop the hands of time
Every tick's a cruel blow
I want a world that's hers and mine
While the real one's put on hold
I want to taste the freedom we will never know

Someone stop the hands of time
Every tick's a cruel blow
I don't want to step outside into the night beyond the windows
I'm just not ready yet for the ice-cold air to bring it all home

All I want is to be held and held some more and not let go
Be told that all is well, that our racing hearts will cope
I want her to lie to me
It's not as if I will not know

All I want is to be held and held some more and not let go
The less I have to lose, it seems the more I put her through
We go round in circles and that is all we do
That there's nothing we can say
We don't let it get in the way
We go round in circles Because we want to be here all day
