Keeping Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now I'm keeping time, or at least I'm learning how to
I'm taking flight or at least I'm just about to
All the ways we can bruise are of use to us
And all the things I have burnt, I have learnt their cost
Oh, there's cracks in me, oh, the cracks in me
I've been braced by the ignition
Waiting for a command
Young girl, I'm tired of your wishing and waiting
Has done me harm (ooh)
I've done me harm (ooh)
I was sinking in to a lust like it was water
Always juggling something I could not afford to
But I want someone who doesn't mind it when I stand
I want someone who's funny looking when they dance
I wanna dance with them, I wanna dance with them
I've been braced by the ignition
Waiting for a command
Young girl, I'm tired of your wishing and waiting
Has done me harm
I want the time to pass
So I'm speeding down the road
Oh, I want the time to pass
So I can move on and swallow this
And God, I want the time to stop
So I don't have to grow old
