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 get in the way
we go round in circles 
because we want to be here all day.
