[Verse 1]
I wake up every morning
I hear your feet on the stairs
You're in the next apartment
I hear you singing over there

We're not alone
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
[Chorus 1]
Strange overtones in the music you are playing
I'll harmonize
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
