Keeping Time

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
And all the ways we could bruise are of use to us
And all the things I burnt, I learnt their cost
No, there's cracks in me, oh, the cracks in me

I've been blessed by the ignition
Waiting for a command
Young girl tired of your wishing and waiting

It's done me harm
I've done me harm

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 with me
Dance, I wanna dance with him, I wanna dance with him

I've been blessed by the ignition
Waiting for a command
Young girl, tired of your wishing 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
