Watchmaker
(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
The methods to dull my ears to the sound
Teach me how to rewind, rewind, so I can relive
Every second, minute, all I missed
I'm always focused on the next thing
If only I could pause and breathe, teach me how
If I were a watchmaker, I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
These hours to keep you in
There'll be no back, there'll be no forth
Just us, where we are
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
(Teach me the measure of these machines)
I'm haunted by mechanical sounds
Damped, stolen and swallowed, relentless, counting down
In the bellies of old enemies
I'm plagued by the tick tock - tick tock
But with vehemence I'll take to their faces and tear them away
There's tension in me
I'm wound up and bound to an endless release
A robin imprisoned in a carved out clock
I'm a tune locked in a music box to a grave melody
I can feel a nervousness in my fingers
To spindles, they're wasting away
And with every twitch, they're turning
Passing by with my meaningless revolutions
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
(Teach me the measure of these machines)
I gazed too deep, I leaned in too close
Caught by the collar and dragged into a two-four waltz
Drawn into steps unfamiliar to me
I was passed like partners between turning teeth
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
(Teach me how to rewind, rewind)
If I were a watchmaker
I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
(Watchmaker) teach me the workings
I want to learn (the secrets and sciences of seconds)
(Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines)
Teach me the measure of these machines
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
The methods to dull my ears to the sound
Teach me how to rewind, rewind, so I can relive
Every second, minute, all I missed
I'm always focused on the next thing
If only I could pause and breathe, teach me how
If I were a watchmaker, I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
These hours to keep you in
There'll be no back, there'll be no forth
Just us, where we are
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
(Teach me the measure of these machines)
I'm haunted by mechanical sounds
Damped, stolen and swallowed, relentless, counting down
In the bellies of old enemies
I'm plagued by the tick tock - tick tock
But with vehemence I'll take to their faces and tear them away
There's tension in me
I'm wound up and bound to an endless release
A robin imprisoned in a carved out clock
I'm a tune locked in a music box to a grave melody
I can feel a nervousness in my fingers
To spindles, they're wasting away
And with every twitch, they're turning
Passing by with my meaningless revolutions
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
(Teach me the measure of these machines)
I gazed too deep, I leaned in too close
Caught by the collar and dragged into a two-four waltz
Drawn into steps unfamiliar to me

(Teach me how to rewind, rewind)
If I were a watchmaker
I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
(Watchmaker) teach me the workings
I want to learn (the secrets and sciences of seconds)
(Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines)
Teach me the measure of these machines
