Stop The Clock
Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to me,
There's only one thing you cannot see
Every time you talk.
Millions of things,
There's only one that you cannot see,
Every time you talk.
You can't stop the clocks forever,
Listen to what I say,
Stop the clocks for you and me.
Listen to me again,
Stop the clocks forever.
Listen to me,
There's only one thing you cannot see
Every time you talk.
Millions of things,
There's only one that changes everything.
Every time you fall.
You cannot stop the clocks forever.
Listen to what I say
Stop the clocks for you and me.
Listen to me again
Stop the clocks forever
Stop the clocks for you and me.
Everything happens too fast
Now it's a part of my past
Everything changes so fast.
Stop the clocks forever,
Stop the clocks for you and me




Stop the clocks forever
Stop the clocks...

I've been looking for the song FOREVER lol, it's not on Spotify and if you just search "Stop the Clock" you won't find it haha
I'm here making some chicken strips and I look up at the clock in the kitchen and realize it's dead... Then suddenly my brain bursts cause I'm looking at the chicken strip box and the brand is "Jane's" and then I look back at the clock and I'm like; "Jane - Stop the Clock??? IS THAT IT?? OH SHIIII-"
