Keeping Time Lyrics by The Granite Shore

Once More From The Top

2015

[Verse 1a]
Hunched behind us at the back
Raised up off the floor
The riser now has fallen, we
Shall see his like no more
[Verse 1b]
Clothes all wrong, hair too long
Older than the rain
We thought he would outlive us, we’ll
Not see his like again
[Chorus 1]
And keeping time
It’s all we’ve ever done
Little did we know
So selfish and so young
We were keeping time
For everyone
[Verse 2a]
Six pints down and at his best
Like a metronome
He’d sink another four and still
He’d drive us home
[Verse 2b]
And then as tempers frayed in the lost decade
We used a drum machine
You only punch the data in the
Once and wipe it clean
[Chorus 2]
And keeping time
It’s all we’ve ever done
Little did we know
So selfish and so young
We were keeping time
For everyone
With phasers set to stun
[Middle]
And as we give a three-guitar salute
We hear a distant drum
The ancient rain begins to fall
And now the time has come
[Chorus 3]
Keeping time
It’s all we’ve ever done
Now I think I know
It’s time that I’d begun
And I’m not even sure
That in the longer run
We’ll be keeping time
For everyone
