"Keeping Time" lyrics

"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
No the ways we could bruise, aren't used to us
And all the things I burnt, I learnt their cost
No, there's cracks in me, all the cracks in me

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

It's done me harm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I've done me harm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-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 him, I wanna dance with him

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

It's 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
But I want the time to stop
So I don't have to grow

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ah, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ah, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ah, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ah, ah
