Seconds
Seconds
I missed him just by seconds
I missed him in the moment
That it takes a door to open
All the plans that I dreamed of
All the dreams that I was hoping for
Were shattered by the movement
Of the little hand that ticks away the seconds
That's all it takes, it's seconds
The rain has stopped the traffic
And it seemed my hopes were fading
Nothing moved across the city
While I prayed, he still was waiting there
Knowing that my life was
Running on the hand that ticks away the seconds
I've got more now than seconds
Oh, I've got myself a lifetime
I've got all the time I needed
And I can sit here with this letter
Nothing else to do but read it
Nothing else to do but listen
While the ticking clock keeps ticking
Having left my life with nothing else
No, nothing else but seconds
And all the men I have met since then were seconds
I missed him just by seconds
I missed him in the moment
That it takes a door to open
All the plans that I dreamed of
All the dreams that I was hoping for
Were shattered by the movement
Of the little hand that ticks away the seconds
That's all it takes, it's seconds
The rain has stopped the traffic
And it seemed my hopes were fading
Nothing moved across the city
While I prayed, he still was waiting there
Knowing that my life was
Running on the hand that ticks away the seconds
I've got more now than seconds
Oh, I've got myself a lifetime
I've got all the time I needed
And I can sit here with this letter
Nothing else to do but read it
Nothing else to do but listen
While the ticking clock keeps ticking
Having left my life with nothing else
No, nothing else but seconds
And all the men I have met since then were seconds
