I don't know the time
And I don't know the day of the week
Or the month, or the year, or my name
I don't understand
Why it seems so important
To be somewhere when you're not sure why you came.
I broke my watch
When I put up my calendar
I left my map on the roof of my car
I need somebody
To make it seem worth it
To search for a lightswitch or reach for a star
Would you be my clock
If I promised not to hang you
Too close to the window or the picture of the Pope
I won't set you back
And I won't push you forward
I just want to look in your face and see hope.
So much to do
And so much time to do it
I try hard to concentrate, I try hard to think
I got a new oven
It cooks food in twelve seconds
Now I'm eating so quick, I've got hours to drink
Time's unpredictable
Just when you think
You've learned how to save it, you spend the whole day on hold
I need someone
Who can show me the difference
Between using it wisely and just growing cold
Would you be my clock
If I promised not to hang you
Too close to the window or the picture of the Pope
I won't set you back
And I won't push you forward
I just want to look in your face and see hope.
