Nothing Much, On You

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Ouais

Verse 1

Three a.m. and the clock keeps its own counsel

I count the ceiling cracks instead of hours

Le temps passe il ne repasse jamais

Somewhere a kettle I forgot to pour

My twenties left a message I never returned

Talking loud to a room that answers slow

Pre-Chorus

I keep meaning to call back

Meaning to begin

Every promise turns to vapour

Every night wears thin

Chorus

I lost the time I said I'd spend

Gave it all to nothing much

I lost the time I swore I'd keep

Gave it all to nothing

Le temps s'échappe entre mes doigts

Je le regarde partir sans moi

I lost the time I said I'd spend

On you

Verse 2

My father's watch still ticks on a shelf I don't dust

He'd say son you got to hold the days like water

Close your fist and it's gone

Open palm and it's gone

J'écris des rimes que personne ne lira

Between the metro stops and the missed calls

I built a whole cathedral out of maybe

Pre-Chorus

I keep meaning to call back

Meaning to begin

Every promise turns to vapour

Every night wears thin

Chorus

I lost the time I said I'd spend

Gave it all to nothing much

I lost the time I swore I'd keep

Gave it all to nothing

Le temps s'échappe entre mes doigts

Je le regarde partir sans moi

I lost the time I said I'd spend

On you

Bridge

Tic tac

Tic tac

Hier est un pays fermé

Tic tac

Tic tac

Demain ne signe rien

I'm still here

Still owing

Still here

Chorus

I lost the time I said I'd spend

Gave it all to nothing much

I lost the time I swore I'd keep

Gave it all to nothing

Le temps s'échappe entre mes doigts

Je le regarde partir sans moi

I lost the time I said I'd spend

On you
