One Minute For Me, Ten Years For You Lyrics

I close my eyes and the world slips away

A single breath and it's yesterday

While I stand still in a moment so brief

You're moving forward beyond belief

In the blink of an eye I fade into the past

Seconds stretch out but they don't seem to last

A minute for me but for you it's years

I watch you grow while I'm stuck here in tears

One minute for me ten years for you

Time dilation bends the world in two

I reach for you but you're out of sight

In a world where I freeze and you take flight

One minute for me ten years for you

A love that warps and fades with every truth

The clock is ticking but I stand still

Caught in the pull of time's cruel thrill

I watch you live as I stand behind

As time dilates you're leaving me blind

Every glance I take you've changed again

The world you know I'll never comprehend

I'm standing still and you're far away

Living lives I can never replay

One minute for me ten years for you

Time dilation bends the world in two

I reach for you but you're out of sight

In a world where I freeze and you take flight

One minute for me ten years for you

A love that warps and fades with every truth

In your eyes I see the future unfold

A thousand moments that I'll never hold

You live a lifetime while I stay the same

In this dilation we're not playing the same game

One minute for me ten years for you

Time dilation bends the world in two

I reach for you but you're out of sight

In a world where I freeze and you take flight

One minute for me ten years for you

A love that warps and fades with every truth

I'll wait for you though time slips away

In this stretch of moments we can't make stay

One minute for me ten years for you

Caught in a dance that time cannot undo
