Clocks & Calendars
Show Me the Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

every time i sigh and smile, to nothing at all,
im breathing for you baby, wishing i could call
the nights last so much longer, when you're home alone
waiting for that girl, to make her way back home.

days and days
counting down
girl oh girl
come back to town

take my hand
follow me
there's no place else i'd rather be
our lips lock
and our hearts beat fast
girl i know we can make this last

whoa.

i've heard that good things come, to those who wait,
and girl i know you know, that i've marked that date
everything im looking for, with you i've found
i'm hooked and don't want out, you've got me bound.

days and days
counting down
girl oh girl
come back to town

take my hand
follow me
there's no place else i'd rather be
our lips lock
and our hearts beat fast
girl i know we can make this last.

whoa.

i haven't seen you in how many days?
i'm missing you so much in so many ways.
closing my eyes, you're still all that i see
nothing like distance will be stopping me
there's no going back now, i've fell to the ground.
i'm not getting up, cause it's you that i've found.
all these sudden emotions have taken me
to someone and somewhere i'd much rather be.

take my hand
follow me
there's no place else i'd rather be
our lips lock
and our hearts beat fast
girl i know we can make this last.

take my hand
follow me
there's no place else i'd rather be
our lips lock




and our hearts beat fast
girl i know we can make this last.

Overall Meaning

The song "Clocks & Calendars" by Show Me the Skyline is essentially a love song about waiting for someone you love to come back home. The lyrics express the feeling of loneliness and the desire to be with that special person. The phrase "every time I sigh and smile, to nothing at all, I'm breathing for you baby" suggests that even the smallest moments that make you happy and content are all because of the person you love.


The song seems to be written from the perspective of someone who is counting down the days until their loved one returns. The line "the nights last so much longer when you're home alone, waiting for that girl to make her way back home" confirms this notion. The singer wants their beloved to know that they have found everything they are looking for in them and they are hooked, and the thought of being without them is unbearable.


The chorus repeats the same idea that being with this special person is the only place the singer wants to be. The lines "take my hand, follow me, there's no place else I'd rather be, our lips lock, and our hearts beat fast, girl I know we can make this last" are catchy and communicate the depth of the singer's feelings for the girl. The final key message of the song speaks to the idea that even though distance separates them, the emotions they have for each other are unshakable and will keep them together.
