Your Beating Heart

Beauty picks me up then throws me to the floor

I may never know what I was searching for

Like a beggar on my knees never knowing what I now believe

Like a drug I took the walk back to your door

I had had enough but I always want more

There was something I was needing, something you were keeping

And there

With the rest of my days before me

I broke down and fell asleep

To your beating heart, your beating heart, your beating heart

In the worst of all the best times that we've shared

Through a sea of every now forgotten tear

You would look me in the eye so afraid to ask me why

But I knew you were the star that shines for me

And I had already planned to set us free

And in the black of night I would ask you to be mine

And there

with the rest of my days before me

I broke down and fell asleep

To your beating heart, your beating heart, your beating heart
