Slow Motion Lyrics

When you can't have what you're wanting

Keeps evading you when you're trying 

To make the ends meet up or have something work or make something happen

Stuck right here in amber frozen in time 

Feeling like a broken clock, not really working 

Only right twice a day, and it's miles away but your heart keeps searching

Stranded in space, and I'm lost in time 

Hope I'll be lucky when the clock hits nine 

Suspended here in mid-air, dull but well aware that the sand still frozen 

In the desert, where it shapes, and shifts like it's alive 

So tell me why won't it move for me

I can't get the air out of my lungs, I'm in slow motion 

And I can't move, unless you tell me I can 

Moving in slo-mo, these pictures in standstill

Like statues, cold and lifeless as stone

Emerging now echoes, I used to, but no more

Just waiting and hoping for time to pick back up

Praying, "Dear God, someone save me" 

It's been a long time I been waiting 

To get the hands ticking or make something start or get something moving 

But I feel helpless and trapped inside 

Feeling like a puppet show strings feel like iron

Grip me in a fist of ice, no use trying to fight cause it's out of my hands yeah 

Mind tick-tocking I'm lost inside 

Hope I feel something when the frost don't bite

Thawing at the edges now, no show still I bow until the stands start erupting

In the desert, where it shapes, and shifts like it's alive 

So tell me why won't it move for me

I can't get the air out of my lungs, I'm in slow motion 

And I can't move, unless you tell me I can

Moving in slo-mo, these pictures in standstill

Like statues, cold and lifeless as stone

Emerging now echoes, I used to, but no more

Just waiting and hoping for time to pick back up

I've been wanting so much but I just can't have it they won't give it to me 

Feels so far out of reach 

I deserve it, I should have it, please don't make me beg I'm down on both knees

Fighting gravity 

Please let me go, I just can't stay, be on my way 

I can't stay here anymore unfreeze the clocks for me
