Metronome, my only friend The one who keeps me on the track I take my time, and yet I still can't hit my notes I sing away, I write my lines I let the music become mine And yet I freeze, I wonder if I've lost control I wonder if I took too long (I wonder why I write this song) I wonder if I took too long The record spins and I wish it would stop I wish I could fight it off We're just diamonds in the rough I hope you hear the love I show I wish you would steal my dreams For you to burst right at the seams I don't want to fight alone
