This song is about taking a break from a relationship, and realizing you're not in love anymore. At least that's what I think it's about.
lyrics
(There's a time clock,
Silly little time clock,
There's a time clock perched above my head.)
You came back from Houston,
You drank a lot of coffee on the way.
You're going to Tucson,
And I'm sure you'll drop your religion on the way.
There's a delicate sound when you visit me,
I'm not sure if it's not just the beating of my heart,
But I'm so glad to see you,
Let me take your coat,
I haven't seen you since last march.
There have been a lot of changes,
As you can see.
Not to mention I have changed,
I'm sure can see,
Let me listen to you breathe.
(Chorus)
There's a time clock perched above my bed.
There's an apple sitting on my head,
There's a million details missing from this picture,
Don't you know.
I still have your picture,
Your eyes follow me as I dress in my room.
I won't forget your wisdom,
Springtime in the park,
Casting stares at the moon.
There's a delicate sound when you visit me,
I'm not sure if it's not just the beating of my heart,
But I'm so glad to be rid of you,
The heart may cry,
But that's alright.
There have been a lot of changes,
As you can see.
Not to mention I have changed,
I'm sure can see,
Please don't breathe.
There is a time clock,
There's a time.
There is an apple,
There's a lime.
There is your car sitting,
With the motor on,
And I want you to go.
Uh-oh.
(Chorus)
