Silver Lining

When you got that phone call
I was at the black ball
You left from the back door
Got no idea what’s going on
I never seem to know

And I was
Sitting down at our stall
Two pints of neck oil
Waiting for you to join
You came back looking at the floor
I asked you what’s going on
You took a breath to stall
Then you told me

That you need to go
And you know it’s selfish
But you’ll never know
Unless you will go for it
I can’t let you go
But if we’ve got only this one day
Then I will learn how to freeze
Time

Ooh
Only if I could freeze time
Ooh
Only if I could freeze

We can go to Brixton
And try that place we always said we’d try
What about long-distance
They say it always seems to die
What the hell
We can beat the odds
In different roads
We’ll make it work

Before you need to board
And get on the plane
I just need you to know
That I’ve done it all
For a few seconds more
And I will do it over and over
Only if I could freeze
Time

How to slow it down
Turn the clock around
Only if I could freeze time
Before it gets dark
There’s a shining light

Only if I could freeze time
Ooh
Ooh
Only if I could freeze
