“Round the Clock” lyrics

Round the clock, (round the clock)
Round the clock
You stay running through my thoughts. (through my thoughts)
Round the clock. (round the clock)
Through my thoughts. (oh)

Morning light on your shoulder, (your shoulder)
City noise down below
You say tell me it's real
I say baby, don't you know? (don't you know)
I don't need a holiday
I don't need a sign
Every little minute
Puts your name beside mine. (beside mine)

When the sun goes up, (goes up)
When the lights go down
When the whole world spins
You're the center now. (the center now)

I love you round the clock, (round the clock)
Not just when the music's hot. (music's hot)
Not just when the night feels young
Not just when the sweet words come. (sweet words come)
Every hour, every room, (every room)
Every crowded avenue
You stay running through my thoughts
I love you round the clock. (round the clock)

Tick-tock, heart won't stop. (won't stop)
Round the clock, round the clock
Tick-tock, heart won't stop. (won't stop)
Round the clock. (round the clock)
Heart won't stop. (won't stop)

If your day gets heavy, (gets heavy)
Call me, I'm there
If your dream gets scary
I'll be the air. (be the air)
No performance, no pretending
No temporary fire
I want the quiet middle
Not just the desire. (the desire)

When the sun goes up, (goes up)
When the lights go down
When the whole world spins
You're the center now. (the center now)

I love you round the clock, (round the clock)
Not just when the music's hot. (music's hot)
Not just when the night feels young
Not just when the sweet words come. (sweet words come)
Every hour, every room, (every room)
Every crowded avenue
You stay running through my thoughts
I love you round the clock. (round the clock)

Tick-tock, heart won't stop. (won't stop)
Round the clock, round the clock
Tick-tock, heart won't stop. (won't stop)
Round the clock. (round the clock)
Heart won't stop. (won't stop)

Time can run, (time can run)
Let it run
I won't move
When trouble comes. (trouble comes)
Through the boring and the beautiful, (beautiful)
Through the high and through the low
I'm the one who's still here
When the music's soft and slow. (soft and slow)

Tick-tock, (tick-tock)
Heart won't stop. (won't stop)
Tick-tock, (tick-tock)
Round the clock. (round the clock)
Every hour — (every hour)
I love you round the clock. (round the clock)

I love you round the clock, (round the clock!)
Not just when the music's hot. (music's hot)
Not just when the night feels young
Not just when the sweet words come. (sweet words come)
Every hour, every room, (every room)
Every crowded avenue
You stay running through my thoughts
I love you round the clock. (round the clock)
I love you round the clock, (sing it)
Not just when the music's hot
Not just when the night feels young
Not just when the sweet words come
Every hour, every room, (every room)
Every crowded avenue
You stay running through my thoughts
I love you round the clock. (round the clock)
Tick-tock, heart won't stop, (won't stop)
Through the high and low. (high and low)
I love you round the clock
More than you could know. (you could know)

Tick-tock, heart won't stop. (won't stop)
Round the clock, round the clock
The quiet middle. (quiet middle)
Not just the desire. (the desire)
Every hour, every room. (every room)
Through my thoughts. (through my thoughts)
I love you round the clock. (round the clock)
