The Meter Marks OK - Loney, Dear, Emil Svanängen

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
