The Meter Marks OK

The meter marks OK
The peak won't cross the line
The meter broke last time
My nerves got caught away

And I won't mild the fall
'Cause I can bear the mass
No one can make it turn
And we've been used to that

And don't you die real soon
'Cause I've been counting on it since ten
But the meter marks OK

No-one can make it go
No-one can stop the swing
Some days and then away
No thought but make you stay

And then you lied to me
You said you knew where you were going to
Oh the meter marked OK
The meter marked OK

Time I had a chance, I had a chance
I thought I'd make a change
Make a change, to make a change
And I was it
I was not aware that I could fly that I could let you wait
When your hands, when your hands
And so you slip away, you slip away, you slip away

(da na na na...)

Time I had a chance, I had a chance
I thought I'd make a change
Make a change, to make a change
And I was it

I was not aware that I could fly that I could let you wait
When your hands, when your hands
And so you slip away, you slip away, you slip away

The meter marks OK
And I won't cross the line
And I won't mild the fall
When I can bear the mass

And I was not aware
That I couldn't make the change
And so you slip away
So you slip away

Time, I had a chance, I had a chance
I thought I'd make a change
Make a change, make a change
