METRONOME Lyrics

I used to sit idle in thought

On planes, trains, buses

In plazas and cafes

In my head, I'd be laying with you

Our castle's in the clouds

But I miss flame, the fire

His lips will never feel the same

They'll never say my name

Or breathe me in

And my eyes will never lock in yours

the way they did before

I cut you out of my heart

Cross the room and taste my

New tattoo, why don't you

Miss the flight?

Stay the night?

Don't hide your face

I know you

That's me now, watch me take him

Back to the hostel bathroom

Que guapa, Motomami

Esta noche pa' la calle

I'm walking through the streets, it's late

I kill my own time

Taking in the city night by night

I'm pushing past blank faces

Chasing a new high

And he'll suffice just for the night

His lips will numb my quiet pain

Don't think he knows my name

It's just the gin

And tonight

I'll leave him wanting more

The one I'm waiting for isn't mine

My heart pounds

I hear no sound

Cause in this crowd

My mind is on the metronome

Cause it keeps time as long as you're mine

And keeps me from the worries in my mind

I think about you all the time

Pass me the knife

I cut you out of my heart
