Gone by noon

Some people leave in a storm. Others leave quietly, before the coffee has time to cool. “Gone by noon” is a late morning confession wrapped in warm Rhodes keys and a slow, dusty heartbeat. It tells the story of someone who keeps two clocks on the wall, one whispering stay, the other whispering run, and has never learned which one to trust. A toothbrush hides in a drawer. A promise dissolves before it has a chance to grow. A voice from the kitchen calls out, and the answer is only silence. Behind the sweetness there is a gentle warning. The narrator smiles so wide that every goodbye sounds like a song, and every exit feels like it might finally be the right one. It is a portrait of someone fragile and charming, who knows exactly how they break the people who love them, and cannot stop.

Tell me in the comments: do you listen to the clock that says stay, or the one that says run? Lyrics gone by noon I keep two clocks on my wall, they never agree One says stay, one says run, I let ’em fight for me You left your toothbrush at my place, I moved it to the drawer Didn’t want to see it there, don’t want to see much more Rhodes keys humming soft while the record spins slow Every promise that I make dissolves before it grows Coffee’s going cold again, I’m staring at the door Half of me is leaving, half of me wants more I’m a broken little gadget, drifting out of sync Say the thing you want to hear before you start to think Call me sweet, call me trouble, call me gone by noon I collect the ones who love me like a plastic spoon Snap me twice, I don’t mind it, I was made to break Smile so wide it’s convincing, that’s my one mistake You called me from the kitchen, said the coffee’s cold I said “be right there,” then I let the silence hold Funny how the sweetest liars sound just like a song Humming while they’re leaving, humming right along I’m a jukebox full of sorries, playing all night Every exit feels like it might be the right one this time Call me sweet, call me trouble, call me gone by noon I collect the ones who love me like a plastic spoon Snap me twice, I don’t mind it, I was made to break Smile so wide it’s convincing, that’s my one mistake Tick tick, hey hey, gone by noon... #aimusic #velourglow #lofi #lofihiphop #chillhop #chillvibes #relaxingmusic #studymusic #lofibeats #newmusic #originalmusic #indiemusic #moodymusic #latenight
