Metronome Heart

(tick… tock… tick… tock…)

Night air on my skin, city lights on slow,

You call me by my pulse—say “don’t let go.”

If love is a risk, then raise that bet,

One look, one touch, I’m already set.

Late train hum, glass rain on the boulevard,

Neon on your cheekbones, soft as a prayer in the dark.

You trace a promise on the fog of my window,

Whisper a future like a code only we know.

Lips taste brave, hands say “stay,”

We move like we invented the word “awake.”

Streetlight halos, gold around your name,

Every heartbeat hits the frame.

Count me in—one breath, two hearts, align.

If forever’s a door, push, don’t knock this time.

Say it sure—no riddles, no regrets,

Lean close, speak truth from your chest—

Say it with your chest (hey!)—don’t make me guess.

Wave hits, floor lifts, we’re light with no nets.

I want your yes, yes, yes, no second best,

Hands up, eyes shut—let the bass confess.

(You—You—You) crowd calling back to me,

(You—You—You) stamp in the memory,

(You—You—You) midnight turning heavenly—

Metronome heart, keep time for you and me.

Sirens fade into a velvet hush,

Your laughter bends the night, a silver crush.

We don’t chase perfect, we rewrite the chart,

A new constellation starting at your heart.

You kiss like thunder after summer heat,

I anchor in your tide and find my beat.

Every scar on us becomes a star,

Maps the way to where we are.

Count me in—storm calm, soul-home, arrive.

If tomorrow is wide, let the promise drive.

Say it clear—no riddles, no suspense,

Lean close, speak love in present tense—

Say it with your chest (hey!)—don’t make me guess.

Wave hits, floor lifts, we’re light with no nets.

I want your yes, yes, yes—signed with your breath,

Hands up, eyes shut—let the bass confess.

(You—You—You) chant shaking every wall,

(You—You—You) echo in the hall,

(You—You—You) my answer to the call—

Metronome heart, never let me fall.

Tell me your secret name, I’ll hold it like dawn,

Fold it in my spine till the fear is gone.

If faith is a rhythm, let it circle our skin,

Round and around till the light walks in.

Oh—ay, ay—lift me higher than the low we knew,

Oh—ay, ay—write forever in the things we do.

(One bar silence—breath.)

Tick… tock… we’re not running out—

We’re just learning what the beat’s about.

Say it with your chest (hey!)—loud, nothing less,

Wave hits, floor lifts, we live in the YES.

(You—You—You) the chorus in my veins,

(You—You—You) the calm after rain.

Metronome heart—set the night to free,

Count to three—now say it with your—

(You—You—You) for eternity.

City lights fade, but the pulse remains,

Your name on my breath, drum in my veins.

If love is a risk, then lock that bet—

One look, one touch… we’re not done yet.
