'the Beating of Hearts'
We could pretend it’s the end,
start loving each other all over again
I know you want to,
you still look at me in that way
as if to say, "I want to make you mine"
I knew that day I've lost it,
could not control the beating of my heart
they say a woman's heart beats faster than a man's
that first night I couldn't tell the difference
it was like your heart knew mine needed yours
the music it made, had me floating
all I could think of was how handsome you looked
still don’t fathom, you thinking I had this to die for smile
I just knew you held me captive,
chemistry never played a part
we were just two parts of a puzzle
connecting, completing
in the end answering all the questions my
heart once asked
now here we are, it's been a while
yet it still feels like it’s that first time
when I realized without question,
you are the beating of my heart
