Metronome

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
