[Verse 1]
I can see you sometimes
When the matador dance is put on hold
Frozen in the moment
And your eyes will let the truth be told

[Verse 2]
I can see a man who
Never once has truly felt how his
Good deeds and golden heart
Could outshine the dark that he was dealt

[Chorus 1]
Well it's a slow motion countdown
It won't last forever

[Verse 3]
I can see you, knife in hand
But the ropes have got you all bound down
Let rest the blade, dear
It's the struggle that keeps the tangle wound

[Verse 4]
I can see you shrinking
As we drift apart into deep space
Slow motion countdown
You're trapped in the dark of a new moon phase
[Chorus 2]
Well, it's a slow motion countdown
We're approaching zero
It's a slow motion letdown
Love won't be the hero

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
Well, it's a slow motion countdown
We're approaching zero
It's a slow motion letdown
Love won't be the hero
