Standing there so close I could read your thoughts For they matched mine Magnetised on the platform You pacing, looking, sighing I stood still Time stood still Ten minutes Ten whole minutes Tick tick tick Train clattering down the tracks As it gets nearer you get further away Eyes lock Time stood still Ten seconds Ten whole seconds Tick tick tick Standing there so close You could read my thoughts For they matched yours Door closes You pace, look, sigh I stand still Time stands still Train clatters down the track As I get further away I wish you were nearer Ten seconds Ten whole seconds Why didn't you stand still And just talk to me?

Standing there so close I could read your thoughts For they matched mine Magnetised on the platform You pacing, looking, sighing I stood still Time stood still Ten minutes Ten whole minutes Tick tick tick Train clattering down the tracks As it gets nearer you get further away Eyes lock Time stood still Ten seconds Ten whole seconds Tick tick tick Standing there so close You could read my thoughts For they matched yours Door closes You pace, look, sigh I stand still Time stands still Train clatters down the track As I get further away I wish you were nearer Ten seconds Ten whole seconds Why didn't you stand still And just talk to me?
