Basslines and Heartbeats

When the room gets quiet,

you call my name

In the first small note,

I feel the flame

I was young with a beat in the back of my chest

Cheap headphones on, trying to breathe with the rest Every kick gave

shape to the doubt in my mind Every snare hit hard like

a truth I could find I made a home in the hum

of a late-night train Turned hurt into rhythm,

turned loss into gain Now the song in my blood keeps pulling

me through When the world goes cold,

I still run to you You hold me up when I come

undone You make a choir

out of one I gave you tears,

you gave me time Music,

my love, you're deeper than words You carry my heart where it

aches and it burns When I lose my way,

you're the line I return to

Music, my love, I'm alive when I turn to you I seen

pain make a home in the face of a friend Seen a

crowd sing a hook and begin to mend That's a miracle there,

no sermon, no throne Just a bassline landing where the grief had

grown So I chase that feeling when the night runs long Put

my scars in the bars,

put my life in the song No vice hit deeper,

no high stayed true Only music ever knew what to do with

the blue If love has a sound,

it's the crack in my voice It's the risk of the room,

it's the weight of the choice And I

choose you again Music,

my love, you're deeper than words You carry my heart where it

aches and it burns When I lose my way,

you're the line I return to Music,

my love, I'm alive when I turn to you You turn pain

to gold, you turn fear into truth

Music, my love, I keep falling to you

Stay in my veins when the night is through

Music, my love, I come home to you (ooh) (ahhhh)
