Let the Meter Run

i know you want me but you don't want me to know

i know you need me but you're afraid to show me

if you're in the darkness and it's full of doubt

i want you to know i want you to know

that you can make it through the heartache

you can make it till the stars come out

whoa oh whoa oh

oh put your head on my chest

and listen listen listen to the beat

hey don't listen to me i don't know nothing babe

maybe we could make up with that voice in your head

take it out for a drink

maybe we could tie it up to the bed

if you're in the darkness and it's full of doubt

i want you to know i wanted you to know

that you can make it through the heartache

you can make it till the stars come out

oh

oh put your head on my chest

and listen listen listen to the beat

hey don't listen to me i don't know nothing babe

oh listen listen listen to the beat

hey don't listen to me

i'm just acting like i know

always putting on a show for you dorlene

we can buy two tickets yeah we can let the meter run

or we can lie around waiting for a light to come

oh put your head on my chest and listen

always putting on a show for you
