Lights go out and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Have brought me down upon my knees Oh, I beg, I beg and plead, singing Come out of things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head And a trouble that can't be named A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing You are, you are Confusion never stops Closing walls and ticking clocks Gonna come back and take you home I could not stop that you now know, singing Come out upon my seas Cursed missed opportunities Am I a part of the cure? Or am I part of the disease? Singing You are, you are You are, you are You are, you are And nothing else compares Oh, nothing else compares And nothing else compares You are, you are Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go (you are) Home, home where I wanted to go (you are)

A melodia de “Clocks” surgiu quando Chris Martin chegou ao estúdio tarde da noite e anotou um riff de piano que lhe apareceu na mente.
Jonny Buckland acrescentou os acordes de guitarra ao riff básico de piano, completando a estrutura inicial da faixa.
Apesar de já terem gravado 10 músicas para o álbum, a banda inicialmente guardou “Clocks” como um demo rotulado “Songs for #3”, pensando que poderia ser usada no próximo disco, X&Y.
Foi a insistência de um amigo de Martin que fez o vocalista voltar ao estúdio para terminar a música, que até então estava incompleta.
“Clocks” foi gravada rapidamente como a última faixa a entrar em *A Rush of Blood to the Head*, e logo após a gravação de sua voz, alguns presentes no estúdio sentiram que a canção era especial.
O single recebeu o Grammy de Record of the Year em 2003, e ao aceitar o prêmio Chris Martin dedicou a música ao falecido Johnny Cash e ao então candidato presidencial John Kerry.
