The Clock Keeps Ticking

Read the official lyrics for ‘The Clock Keeps Ticking’, an original song by Abu Sayed.

The clock keeps ticking, but time stands still
Whenever you are moving close to me
There's a fire in the shadows we can finally build
Just let the midnight set us free
The stars are pouring through the windowpane
Painting silver on the collar of your coat
We've been talking through the rhythm of the gentle rain
And every word you whisper is a song I wrote
I feel the static every time our fingers touch
A slow burn melting down the walls I made
I never thought that I could want someone so much
Don't let this tender moment fade
The clock keeps ticking on the mantlepiece
But I am lost inside the gravity of you
A tender kind of surrender, a sweet release
Inside this quiet room, just us two
Oh, just let the minutes fall away
I only want to hear the things you do not say
Your silhouette is dancing in the amber glow
A silent language in the way you look at me
We're leaning into feelings that we barely know
But I can taste the promise of what we could be
I feel the static every time our fingers touch
A slow burn melting down the walls I made
I never thought that I could want someone so much
Don't let this tender moment fade
The clock keeps ticking on the mantlepiece
But I am lost inside the gravity of you
A tender kind of surrender, a sweet release
Inside this quiet room, just us two
Oh, just let the minutes fall away
I only want to hear the things you do not say
The shadows stretch and wrap around our secret place
I trace the map of every moment on your face
And every heartbeat feels like thunder in the night
Sayed is falling deep into your candlelight
The morning does not have to find us yet
I want to stay right here inside this moment
The clock keeps ticking on the mantlepiece
But I am lost inside the gravity of you
A tender kind of surrender, a sweet release
Inside this quiet room, just us two
