Time Stops

Drip drop
Melting like a cone
I hate the flavor
But I’ll suck it up
Off the pavement if I must
I won’t let a single taste
Go to waste

Bridge the gap
A lesser evil
Give in to it
Can’t stop the minutes
Plip plop
A grain of sand
Tick tock moves the hand

And I know
You know
Time can move so slow
When I’m with you
It stops
It stops.

Dance a waltz
Bring up the tempo
Dip and slide across the floor
Scrape your knees
Learn your lesson
You can’t rush these things
And the peroxide stings

Slow it down
Take a number
You cannot cut in line
Wait your turn
Take the time
Smell the flowers
Don’t get lost in the hours

And I know
You know
Time can move so slow
When I’m with you
It stops
It stops

Pick it up
Stick it up
Higher than you’ve reached ever
Together forever through each endeavor
Ha! that’s clever
Whether
you choose to believe
That I am a magician
Got a trick up my sleeve
‘Bout what you’ve been missing.
No more wishing
You just listen
Romantic bliss and
We’ll be kissing.

And I know
You know
Time can move so slow
When I’m with you
It stops
It stops
