Lyrics
I owe the clock nothing. Nothing tonight. Keys in a bowl by the hall, Coat on the back of a chair. For once I can hear my own footfall, For once there is room in the air. The little red numbers keep changing, I let them go on without me. No grand escape, no borrowed ride, Just turn the noise down from inside. I owe the clock nothing, Nothing tonight. The hours can keep running, I step into my life. Cold water, a window left open, A song from a room down below. A few ordinary moments, And nowhere I have to go. I loosen the knot in my shoulders, Let one small evening be mine. No grand escape, no borrowed ride, Just turn the noise down from inside. I owe the clock nothing, Nothing tonight. The hours can keep running, I step into my life. A minute doesn't need a meaning. A breath doesn't need a plan. The ceiling gives the echo somewhere, To land. I owe the clock nothing, Nothing tonight. The hours can keep running, I step into my life. Nothing tonight. This time is mine.
