Verse
Sunlight climbs the windows where we used to sit
Shadows stretch across your empty chair
I set the sundial on the sill that morning light catches
Pinned to the hour when you said you'd stay
The dust is moving slow through the dust motes, dancing
Your socks still hang by the hooks you didn't take
Pre-Chorus
What time do we lose what's left of yesterday?
Can I hold this breath till you get here today?
Chorus
Stop the hands at noon where love gets locked in time
Let the afternoon bleed like it's running behind
Sundial, stay still with the last inch of light
Hold me steady through the long and waiting night
Verse
The door creaks soft where you stepped out, came back in
Your keys on the counter clinking like a sign
I folded your sweater like I'd fold a prayer
Kept it warm by the radiator
Pre-Chorus
What time do we lose what's left of yesterday?
Can I hold this breath till you get here today?
Chorus
Stop the hands at noon where love gets locked in time
Let the afternoon bleed like it's running behind
Sundial, stay still with the last inch of light
Hold me steady through the long and waiting night
Bridge
Maybe I'm just holding on to the shape
Not the shadow that moves but the line you left there
Maybe what's keeping time is not moving at all
Just my heart turning in circles around your memory
Chorus
Stop the hands at noon where love gets locked in time
Let the afternoon bleed like it's running behind
Sundial, stay still with the last inch of light
Hold me steady through the long and waiting night
