'Til you were here

Clock ticks, time passes, I don’t even blink

Days rush by faster than I can think

Running on empty, stuck in my lane

Chasing the hours, but feeling no pain

Faces blur, the lights all blend

Another day gone I won’t defend

Clock ticks, time passes, all on repeat

Life’s a game I forgot how to beat

Shadows stretch and fade away

Morning comes, but I’m still grey

I smile on cue, I fake the sound

Nothing lost, but nothing found

I was lost, I was lost, I was lost in the dark

Didn’t know, didn’t care, didn’t feel, didn’t start

I was blind, I was numb, just a shadow in view

I was lost, I was lost, I was lost without you

Clock ticks, time passes, then you appeared

The noise went quiet, the fog all cleared

A tiny spark that lit the sky

And made me wish that time could lie

Slow it down, just freeze it here

With every laugh, you pull me near

I was lost, I was lost, I was lost in the dark

Didn’t know, didn’t care, didn’t feel, didn’t start

I was blind, I was numb, just a shadow in view

I was lost, I was lost, I was lost without you

Clock ticks, time passes — now I feel each beat

Every moment now tastes bittersweet

I want to hold the hands of time

And steal a second, make it mine

You changed the rules, you bent the air

Now every tick is one I care

I was lost, I was lost, I was lost in the dark

Didn’t know, didn’t care, didn’t feel, didn’t start

I was blind, I was numb, just a shadow in view

I was lost, I was lost, I was lost without you**

Now I hold you, and I see clear

The missing part was always near

Time can run, but I won’t chase

As long as I can see your face
