12:44 Lyrics

The sun's been up for four hours now
They've been hoping for so long
Each day the sun will rise and fall upon your eyes

Time to get up and greet the day
Ten of twelve she's on her way
Rustling through the trees, try and catch the breeze

And they need it to hold on longer
What they feel makes them stronger yeah

She checks the clock, half past twelve
Looks at him over her shoulder
She gets in the car, waves from afar

And they need it to hold on longer
What they feel makes them stronger yeah

Changing lanes, a truck rolls by
He never sees her in the mirror
She jerks the wheel
Last thing she feels is his kiss goodnight
Last thing she sees is the ambulance light

And she needs it to hold on longer
All his love makes her stronger yeah

He's at the table, telephone rings
He hears about these terrible things
All he had is no more
Time of death 12:44

And he needs her to hold on longer
As she slips away he's strong no longer yeah
