Time Stand Still

If life is a ringtone

My life is a cellphone

In silent mode

I was slumbering, not sleeping

But still caught it bleepin'

A number showed

Looked at the clock, it was twenty past one

I sat up straight wondering what could be wrong

A simple hello

Was all that I said

But the moment I answered

The line just went very dead

So I had to

Check out the list

Of all the calls that I'd missed

And accordingly

There, right on top

A number came up

That was new to me

A man can only hide for so long

But then he'll pay for crossing the rubicon

Now I don't believe

We're all part of a plan

But I'm pretty sure

That it wasn't coincidence

Though distant and blurred

Yet the voice I heard

Just made time stand still

The number that I called

Brought my world to a halt

And if words could kill

Or cut like a knife

I'd be barely alive

For an instant or two

I thought: This can't be true

But I knew it was

Life's got a way

To cross and outplay

Everyone of us

There is no going back, once the damage is done

You can't escape fate, no matter how far you run

Some call it luck

Some call it chance

And some call it fate

And some call it providence

No I'll never forget

The things she said...

You weren't supposed to find me

Thougt I'd left you far behind me

But just one call and my shelter's gone

Won't you leave a message

Make our love a secret passage

To where time stands still but life goes on

You made time stand still

The number that I called

Brought my world to a halt

And if words could kill

Or cut like a knife

I'd be barely alive

You made time...
