Clock Strikes Two
To Be Juliet's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A thought erupts calling me and it's daring
To relive those days when I think you're gone
Miss your smile, I miss your eyes,
And now I'm out of time
What would it take to look at me like you used to?
Oh, Cuz you don't anymore, and we're not anymore
Then this
The clock strikes two and I'm looking for you
Where could you have gone this time?
I'm staring at the phone so alone
With hearts beating all on their own
It's so cold here,
Did you shut the door when you left?
It's mid-winter and it feels like I'm taking my last breath.

A photobook's calling me and it's daring
To let go of that girl I wish I still knew
I missed her eyes, I missed her smile
But now I'm out time, to whisper that I loved her

I think I think I'll always love her, love her
I think I think I'll always love you, love you
I think I think I'll always love her
I know I'll always love you

The clock strikes two and I'm looking for you
Where could you have gone this time?
I'm staring at the phone so alone
With hearts beating all on their own
It's so cold here,
Did you shut the door when you left?
It's mid-winter and it feels...
Like I'm taking my last breath.

The clock strikes three
It's too late for me
Well, it hurts so bad this time
Staring at the phone all I know
Is that she's what I hold

The clock strikes four
I can't take anymore
It feels so real this time
Staring at the phone all it brings
Are tears but then it didn't ring

It's so cold here,
Did you shut the door when you left?
It's mid-winter and it feels...
Like I'm taking my last breath.

I think I think I'll always love you, love you
I think I think I'll always love you, love you
I think I'll always love you
I know I'll always love you
I know I'll always love you

And when you say "hello"
It brings me back to all I know
I'm sorry love, I'm coming home

And when I hear you breathe
It brings me back to what I need
To you your heart is home to me

And when you say "hello"
It brings me back to all I know
I'm sorry love, I'm coming home

And when I hear you breathe
It brings me back to what I need
To you your heart is home to me





I know, I know I'll always love you, love you
I know I'll always love you [2x]

A thought erupts calling me and it's daring
A sudden idea emerges and it challenges me to relive the past


To relive those days when I think you're gone
I want to go back to those days even though you are no longer here with me


Miss your smile, I miss your eyes,
I long for your smile and your eyes


And now I'm out of time
But now it's too late


What would it take to look at me like you used to?
How can I make you look at me the way you used to?


Oh, Cuz you don't anymore, and we're not anymore
You don't look at me that way anymore, and we aren't together anymore


The clock strikes two and I'm looking for you
It's 2am and I'm searching for you


Where could you have gone this time?
Where could you have disappeared to again?


I'm staring at the phone so alone
I'm lonely and just staring at the phone


With hearts beating all on their own
My heart is racing with a life of its own


It's so cold here,
It's very cold here


Did you shut the door when you left?
Did you leave and shut the door behind you?


It's mid-winter and it feels like I'm taking my last breath.
It's winter and I feel like I'm dying


A photobook's calling me and it's daring
The photo album is tempting me


To let go of that girl I wish I still knew
To forget about the girl I once knew and wish I still did


But now I'm out time, to whisper that I loved her
But it's too late to say that I loved her


I think I think I'll always love her, love her
I believe that I will always love her


The clock strikes three
It's 3am


It's too late for me
It's too late to find you now


Well, it hurts so bad this time
It hurts worse than before


Staring at the phone all I know
Just staring at the phone, I realize


Is that she's what I hold
That all I have is the memory of her


The clock strikes four
It's now 4am


I can't take anymore
I can't take it anymore


It feels so real this time
It feels more real than ever before


Staring at the phone all it brings
Just staring at the phone, it makes me feel


Are tears but then it didn't ring
Like crying, but the phone didn't ring


And when you say "hello"
And when you greet me with "hello"


It brings me back to all I know
It reminds me of everything I've ever known


I'm sorry love, I'm coming home
I'm sorry for everything, I'm coming back home


And when I hear you breathe
And when I hear you breathing


It brings me back to what I need
It reminds me of what I really need


To you your heart is home to me
Your heart is like home to me


I know, I know I'll always love you, love you
I know that I will always love you


I know I'll always love you [2x]
I know that I will always love you
