The clock strikes one
And you're still running in circles in my mind
And it's the best things have ever been
The best things have ever been

The clock strikes two
And I'm still falling for you
And with every tick of the tock that's on the clock
I'm longing for you

So I'll curse the ceiling
'Cause it's the only thing that's keeping me from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me
'Cause if it weren't for it you'd be here in my arms

I wish that you were here to guide
My weary head to rest
Because every word I sing without you
Is a waste of my breath
Hold me up don't let me down
Just stay with me tonight
Whisper in my ear I love you
So sweet dreams sleep tight

So I'll curse the ceiling
'Cause it's the only thing that's keeping me from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me
'Cause if it weren't for it you'd be here in my arms
So I'll curse the ceiling
'Cause it's the only thing that's keeping me from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me
'Cause if it weren't for it you'd be here in my arms

[Guitar break]

And I head for the door but you stop me short
Because it's getting harder to say goodbye
Lean in where our lips can meet
And please don't let me go
Just hold me here with you tonight

And you count the beats
Of my rapidly beating heart
And I feel so alive
Wrapped up here in your arms
And you count the breaths
As I drift off to sleep
And I feel so in love
Knowing you've fallen in love with me.
Knowing you've fallen in love with me.
Knowing you've fallen in love with me.

And I head for the door
But you stop me short
Because it's g getting harder to say goodbye
Lean in where our lips can meet
And please don't let me go
Just hold me here with you tonight.

[Clock strikes one]
And you count the beats of my rapidly beating heart
[Clock strikes two]
And I feel so alive wrapped up here in your arms
[The clock strikes one]
And you count the breaths as I drift off to sleep
[The clock strikes two]
And I feel so in love knowing you've fallen in love with me.

And I'll curse the ceiling
Because it's the only thing that's keeping me from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me.
Cuz if it weren't for it you'd be lying here in my arms.
