Your Beating Heart

Beauty picks me up, then throws me to the floor
I may never know what I was searching for
Like a begger 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 then, 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 the night I would ask you to be mine

And then, with the rest of my days before me
I broke down and fell asleep
To your beating heart, your beating heart, your beating heart
