Clocks lyrics

 Lights go out and I can't be saved

 Tides that I tried to swim against

 Have put me down upon my knees

 Oh I beg, I beg and please singing

Come out of things unsaid

 Shoot an apple off my head

 Trouble that cant be named

 Tigers waiting to be tamed singing

You are

 You are

Confusion never stops

 Closing walls and ticking clocks

 Gonna come back and take you home

 I could not stop the tune I know singing

Come out upon my seas,

 Cursed missed opportunities

 Am I a part of the cure

 Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are, you are

 You are, you are, you are

And nothing else compares

 And nothing else compares

 And nothing else compares

You are

 You are

Home, home where I wanted to go

 Home, home where I wanted to go

 Home, home where I wanted to go

 Home, home where I wanted to go
