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
