Seconds

If I could take a photograph of all the colors or even a shade of what it's like to see you smile
I would place them in this chest with all the others
I would lock it away inside my head, so you could stay a while

But would you stand here next to me
Because every second you’re away is eternity
And I know

Every clock seems like it's laughing back at me
In every tick, a moment lost, every hand cuts endlessly
If I could break them all and leave us in the beauty of the still
I’d hold you close, I’d hold you close
And I always will

Would you stand here next to me
Because every second you’re away is eternity
And I know you can choose anyone to be with you
Oh, but darling, would you stand here next to me

Silence is golden, until your world comes crashing down
I'm stranded, I need you now

But would you stand here next to me
Because every second you’re away feels like eternity

Would you stand here next to me
Because every second you’re away is eternity
And I know you can choose anyone to be with you
Oh, but darling, would you stand here next to me

I know
