Clock Tower Swing (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Sundown on the lot, you walk in slow

Your shadow lands right where the city's glow

I ring up every item like it owes me one

You laugh at my jokes from behind a shopping cart full of sun

Red and yellow clearance signs against your shoulders lean

Pre-Chorus – layered gang vocals

Is this how we start or is this goodbye?

Every dollar counts but I don't know why

Chorus

I'm ringing up the hours, counting down till then

When the clock tower swings to five and we leave it on again

You're loading boxes into your car, I've got one left behind

We may have started here but our story's still unwound in time

Verse 2 – male vocal

Five o'clock chime cuts through your perfume like a bell

Your eyes catch mine across the half-empty shelf

Cigarette smoke drifts from the alley, streetlights flicker to gold

I wrap up your purchases with a bow I don't get to hold

Pre-Chorus – layered gang vocals

Is this how we start or is this goodbye?

Every dollar counts but I don't know why

Chorus

I'm ringing up the hours, counting down till then

When the clock tower swings to five and we leave it on again

You're loading boxes into your car, I've got one left behind

We may have started here but our story's still unwound in time

Bridge – layered gang vocals

Maybe we'll come back for more of this same old sound

Or maybe tonight is where it all starts to turn around

Hold onto something before you go

Keep this feeling, let it glow

Chorus

I'm ringing up the hours, counting down till then

When the clock tower swings to five and we leave it on again

You're loading boxes into your car, I've got one left behind

We may have started here but our story's still unwound in time
