Lyrics

Like a vine
You were entwined
Wrapped around me
And it was ecstasy

When you held my hand it was like
A hand grenade
You gently
Blew my mind

It's killing me
Knowing I had you
For about 20 minutes
You slipped right through my hands
Now I'm holding nothing
Except an empty memory
Of that time you held to me
Albeit
It was only 20 minutes
But enough for many years

You were mine
For the briefest of times
Then I turned away
And your image decayed

Plunged into the depths of winter
Following the sublime
Summer rain

Tick, tock
My time was up
Before I knew
The door was closed
Time stopped
And we were locked
My hand in your hair
And you everywhere
Tick, tock
My time was up
I'll regret it til the day I die
You were there and you were mine
But I was paralysed by fear

It's killing me
Knowing I had you
For about 20 minutes
You slipped right through my hands
I'm a broken man

It's killing me
Knowing I had you
For about 20 minutes
You slipped right through my hands
Now I'm holding nothing
Except an empty memory
Of that time you held to me
Albeit
It was only 20 minutes
But enough for many years
