Call Me By Name

I see you and time stands still

Crowds freeze and my heart does too

But the slowing of time can’t fulfill

That you’ll never notice me like I notice you


My life races by like fire on the field

I can’t keep up with the breakneck pace

But to you, the one to whom my heart yields

The fires recede as time stands in place


There you are, across the way

In this party of people where I stand alone

And yet, as everyone else in place still stays

You tilt your head to me, melt my heart of stone


You cross the room passed the all of the frozen

Darts fly through the air, stuck in time

For of everyone here, it’s me you have chosen

I am now yours, and you are now mine


Time is ours now, so what if the world burns?

If it’s stuck in place, we have each other to blame

We dance to the rhythm of a world that won’t turn

In a crowd full of people, all stuck, all the same

But you know me, you love me, call me by name
