Lyrics
Martes, tres y pico, y el tiralíneas de tu abuelo
sigue trazando grietas sobre mi desvelo.
La lámpara te acusa con su luz de hospital,
y huele la madera a café y a metal.
Yo, desde la otra orilla de la cama,
te miro construir un mundo que me infama.
[Chorus]
Oye, plano, déjala dormir,
que tu tinta me está robando su barniz.
Oye, plano, ten un poco de piedad,
que se agrieta su risa por tu terquedad.
[Verse 2]
El clip que te aguanta los sueños tiene óxido de julio,
un testamento terco de tu propio barullo.
"Ya casi", me dijiste sin alzar la cara,
mientras la escuadra se te declaraba.
Y esa promesa tonta de un balcón para los dos
se pierde en el cimiento de una casa sin tu voz.
[Chorus]
Oye, plano, déjala dormir,
que tu tinta me está robando su barniz.
Oye, plano, ten un poco de piedad,
que se agrieta su risa por tu terquedad.
[Bridge]
No quiero ser el clavo que detiene tu martillo,
solo el andamio firme que te cuida el tobillo.
Tu genio es una viga que no puedo cortar,
pero esta noche, amor, déjala apuntalar.
[Outro]
Se roba su barniz...
Tu tinta, amor, se roba su barniz.
