Metronome

from Flat Earth by Pursesnatchers

/

lyrics

You were reading Dharma Bums
At least pretending to

We weigh about as much light as empty envelopes
The speed made us weightless

The underground went back under the ground
I hope they let us stay there

Floating through a Boston fog
I always say your name

Your face lit up like a driving range at night
Lit up like a prison in the desert
At the edges

I’m not going anywhere with you
I’m not going anywhere without you

Your heart beats like a metronome
I would rather be alone than hurt you

We never learn
The better bridge to burn
Your best worst case scenario is me
But we’re afraid of a memory

Tiny hearts are sparrow fed
The words are barely there

What if I made you hear this with your hands
Or as music?

I’m not going anywhere with you
I’m not going anywhere without you

Your heart’s a metronome
And I would rather be alone than hurt you

We never learn
The better bridge to burn
My worst best case scenario is you
It all looks worse in the rear view
