Paul Summers Jr. - The Meter Runs (2022 Remaster)

Reflections in the soft, green pond
A happy face suddenly drowned
One bird left after one flew away

A shelter for complexity
Anger runs hand in hand with warmth
Denying matters any chance to better

I don't want to fake it but you see I'm breaking apart
The Meter Runs no time to park my heart
If I leave you someone will take my space
That I can't face

I want to chance it but now you are ready to go
We both played games falling like dominoes
Appearing graceful as we tumble down
Not to fall again

We only have so much time left
This bitterness has got to end
Let's take drive and just ad-lib the rest

Your name just saturates my room
I cannot throw away these thoughts
A tattoo of your shadow in my chest

I don't want to fake it but you see I'm breaking apart
The Meter Runs no time to park my heart
If I leave you someone will take my space
That I can't face

I want to chance it but now you are ready to go
We both played games falling like dominoes
Appearing graceful as we tumble down
Not to fall again
