The Beat of Your Heart
The Beat of Your Heart
JOSHUA
(stanza)
I can close off my eyes when I see you
I can close off my ears to the sound of your voice
But there’s one thing I couldn’t close from the start
The beat of my heart
(stanza)
You’re asking if we have a future
If we were just fools, well, I can’t give an answer
But all that I ask is that you listen hard
To the beat of your heart
ELIZA
(bridge)
Why trust the heart
When the heart is a traitor
It whispers to stay
Just a little bit later
Pieces of beautiful lies
JOSHUA
(stanza)
Well maybe some day in the future
You’ll look back in time and remember this boy here
And even if we’re separated by miles
I hope that you’ll smile
(stanza)
Coz I know that if things don’t turn out right
If years later I never see you again
I’ll remember the time that we shared for a while
And I know that I’ll smile
ELIZA
(bridge)
If I had a choice
I’d end all this sorrow
I’d switch the paths that
We know we should follow
But everything’s out of our hands
JOSHUA
(chorus)
Maybe you or I will change our minds
Maybe I’ll decide that I’m not coffeeshop inclined
Maybe you’ll decide that you should stay
We’ll never know if we end this way
JOSHUA & ELIZA
(chorus)
If you should fly then I won’t hold you back (You won’t do that)
I’ll lumber on my way keeping your memory intact (I won’t forget)
But till that day arrives let’s hold on tight
To every second you’re by my side
(chorus 2)
If what we have is just a mistake of mine
Then I would gladly make it a thousand times
I won’t have no regrets
The now we have is perfect
(chorus 2)
So tell me
Do you love me (Of course I do)
What does your heart say (It beats for you)
So let’s hold on to what we have
Every moment that we can
(stanza)
I can close off my eyes when I see you
I can close off my ears to the sound of your voice
But there’s one thing I couldn’t close from the start
The beat of my heart
(stanza)
You’re asking if we have a future
If we were just fools, well, I can’t give an answer
But all that I ask is that you listen hard
To the beat of your heart
