Clocks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
Singin', come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waitin' to be tamed, singin'

[Chorus]
You are
You are

[Verse 2]
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and tickin' clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know
Singin', come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singin'

[Chorus]
You are
You are
You are
You are
[Chorus]
You are
You are

[Bridge]
And nothing else compares
Oh, nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

[Chorus]
You are
You are

[Outro]
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home (You are) home, where I wanted to go
Home (You are) home, where I wanted to go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
