Time stops, watch as it fleets
Watch as he leaves, miss how he greeted you
Time's frozen, statues around you
A split second surrounds you, but you can't move
In a moment, a snippet, a piece of all that could be
But it's not, and shortly he'll leave
Time spins, but only to you
The clock hands won't move
They won't bend to anything you tell them to
Even though you want to go back to the start
Correct every mistake
Find every way that you could make him stay
But you can't, and soon he'll go away
There's almost a sense of relief
The stops, well, they stop all the grief
The noise, evening caused where it led
There's a comfort to the silence
Nothing but the waltz in your head
Nothing but the waltz in your head
Nothing
Time starts, a smile of naivety
A prayer to a deity, of which you're not sure
Seconds pass, they turn into minutes fast
Faster than you'd expect to notice
You wonder if he knows this
He knows but on his own wrist
And suddenly, you want time to stop
But he's gone
It's time to move on
