The clock strikes one And you're still running in circles in my mind And it's the best things have ever been The best things have ever been The clock strikes two And I'm still falling for you And with every tick of the tock that's on the clock I'm longing for you So I'll curse the ceiling 'Cause it's the only thing that's Keeping me from lying under the stars And I'll curse the distance between you and me 'Cause if it weren't for it you'd be here in my arms I wish that you were here to guide My weary head to rest Because every word I sing without you Is a waste of my breath Hold me up don't let me down Just stay with me tonight Whisper in my ear I love you So sweet dreams sleep tight So I'll curse the ceiling 'Cause it's the only thing that's Keeping me from lying under the stars And I'll curse the distance between you and me 'Cause if it weren't for it you'd be here in my arms So I'll curse the ceiling 'Cause it's the only thing that's Keeping me from lying under the stars And I'll curse the distance between you and me 'Cause if it weren't for it you'd be here in my arms And I head for the door but you stop me short Because it's getting harder to say goodbye Lean in where our lips can meet And please don't let me go Just hold me here with you tonight And you count the beats Of my rapidly beating heart And I feel so alive Wrapped up here in your arms And you count the breaths As I drift off to sleep And I feel so in love Knowing you've fallen in love with me. Knowing you've fallen in love with me. Knowing you've fallen in love with me. And I head for the door But you stop me short Because it's g getting harder to say goodbye Lean in where our lips can meet And please don't let me go Just hold me here with you tonight. And you count the beats of my rapidly beating heart And I feel so alive wrapped up here in your arms And you count the breaths as I drift off to sleep And I feel so in love knowing you've fallen in love with me. And I'll curse the ceiling Because it's the only thing that's Keeping me from lying under the stars And I'll curse the distance between you and me. Cuz if it weren't for it you'd be lying here in my arms.
