Every Other Beat

Shake the dust off every promise buried in your head
As the bar rooms empty out into the streets
But tell your friends to all go home
Cos you don't wanna sing the way they sing
You don't want any of those new things

I might be like the lights that you forget hang in your room
Staring from your ceilin' while you sleep
And I will watch right over you
You don't have to do nothing for me

Words are burning there way into morning
But the night will take us places we can't see
You're smiling, screaming, your train is leaving
And you have to get on board eventually
You have to get on board your train that only lеaves

Darlin', it don't bother me who you'll bе takin' home
I won't even be watchin' while you leave
You're wrapped up in some moment
And I know you wanna hold it
But what's the last thing on your mind
Before you fall asleep

Remember through whichever lucky lover you select
To write another story on your sheets
You can hold whatever you can catch
But time is gonna tell you what to keep
What's the last thing on your mind before you fall asleep?

Songs are singin', the words are swimming
But the sky only gets so close to the sea
Your dreams are breathing
Your heat is beatin' now
And every other beat belongs to me
