Pinegrove - The Metronome Lyrics






The night my
Necklace fell off
You fluttered through my
Capillaries like a
Stoned moth

I agree with your ideas but not your tactics
So look me in the eye and be practical
When practically there's nothing left for me to say or do
It's only up to you

A live ladybug
Trapped between my toes
Keep it together man
We're all connected now
Stay composed

I agree with your ideas but not your tactics
So look me in the eye and be practical
When practically there's nothing left for me to say or do
It's only up to you

The current picture
The metronome:
I don't know what this is
But it's not my home

I thought that we were
Falling in love
But we weren't;
Only I was

I agree with your ideas but not your tactics
So look me in the eye and be practical
When practically there's nothing left for me to say or do
It's only up to you

    For the love of all thats good in this world. How on earth does he get that sound at 2:25 ... cant figure it out

    R.... M....

    Ruben M His sound on the guitar? He’s playing an E string rooted chord while letting the high E and B strings ring out over the top!

  10. T.... P....

    This is a modern day John Denver. I'm showing my age with that comment, but I believe it's an accurate comparison. I don't mean to take anything at all away from what he does. I mean this as an extremely Rocky Mountain high compliment.

  11. L.... C....

    Thought we were
    Fallin in love
    Turns out
    Only I was...

  12. c.... ....

    i'm obsessed with the bridge......... help... i can't stop replaying "the current picture, the metronome: i don't know what this is, but it's not my home // i thought that we were falling in love // but we weren't; only I was" and i have an essay due in 2 days

    c.... ....

    update : my essay is due tomorrow, it's 21:22, and i'm about to pull out an all-nighter... i love procrastinating

  13. T.... ....

    Holly fak

  14. M.... D....

    he is a gift

  15. s.... ....

    Please release your new album. You don't have to be a saint to be a great artist, (which is what you are).

  16. V.... g....

  17. b.... m....

    my heart

  18. m.... ....

    his guitar skills are mad (sincerely someone who’s trying to learn those fucking songs)

  19. s.... b....

    this is such a beautiful fucking song.

  20. M.... ....

  25. o.... o....

  26. E.... ....

    why does every pinegrove video has evan screaming or yelling or has his mouth wide open on the thumbnail

    E.... ....

    Elle can't unsee the seen

    E.... ....

    Because pinegrove peaks when he scream sings

  27. A.... Y....

    fuck i have a man crush

  28. S.... D....

    Don't care what genre(s) of music you're most into, if you can't appreciate that Pinegrove are simply an amazing band, you need to have a serious talk with yourself.

  29. M.... R....

    A bloody good song

  30. C.... V....

    This is the flawless interpretation of this chanson. just guitar, vocals, and VansTM.

  31. I.... W....

    Thanks so much for sharing! ROCK ON Pinegrove! Where y'all from?

    I.... W....

    New Jersey

  32. M.... ....

    can someone please make a tutorial for noobs like me

    M.... ....

    MrJamhamm it's like two chords dude

    M.... ....

    Thomas Pargeter actually it's around 7 or 8 :p

  33. G.... P....

    Look me in the eye... LOVE THIS BAND. So addicted.

  34. t.... t....

    okay i have spent a month trying to get the little 5-4-2-0 riff thing down and my fingers cannot do the hammer on fast speedy thing like him

    t.... t....

    Practice the song (or just that part) at a manageable speed, and once you're comfortable at that speed, increase the speed by 5 BPM until you can get up to tempo.

    t.... t....

    it worked daniel i have done it

    t.... t....

    its not fifth fret on the b string its the open e

  35. G.... I....

    This is so much better than the studio version

  36. t.... ....

    they're so good they make my heart ache

    t.... ....

    tears streaming down our face as we filmed

    t.... ....

    I'm literally clutching my chest in aftershock of the song, reading this comment

  37. P.... ....

    God damn, I love Pinegrove so much, it's irresponsible.

  38. S.... A....

    Fell in love with a girl, she said she loved me ,well she was lying the whole time :D so im here for that one line : "I thought we were falling in love, but we weren't, only I was " shit happens :D

    S.... A....

    S A D since 2001 i feel this mr runescape

  39. M.... ....

    I really hope no one gives me hate for this, because I also love Pinegrove, but this sounds a little like Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl". I knew it sounded familiar and it bugged me for about 2 weeks until I could put my finger on the song. :)

  40. L.... C....

    Just saw him in Chattanooga, opened with this track, so good!

  41. R.... R....

    He's foot... the metronome *mindblown*

    R.... R....

    he is foot, agreed

  42. S.... R....

    Sheeesh it just don't quit

  43. Y.... S....

    i prefer their live songs over the album ones

    Y.... S....

    Should have been at the show in Kalamazoo on Saturday. It was incredible. Got to chat with Evan for a sec and he's such a cool guy. God I love Pinegrove.

    Y.... S....

    @Michael Dawson Oh man I hope they come to kalamazoo again!!! what venue were they at?

  44. V.... S....

    He's such a talented dude. I really can't get enough of his voice. So spectacular.

  45. s.... ....

    Not my favourite Pinegrove song but uggghhh vocals are so good live! The passion in Evan's voice is ridiculous

  46. J.... T....

    this is so good

  47. A.... J....

    Recently at your local Pinegrovers Anonymous: "Hello my name is Austin and..."

  48. J.... N....
