My heart is a beating drum

Haunting sorrows, burning heartaches and pain
You seem to wash away
All that follows, memories n' yesterdays
You give another take

You make it lighter, you bring on spring
With you I feel like I can do anything
With you I'll fly away

Can you hear the distant echo
Can you hear the constant hum
Your song's the color
My heart is a beating drum
No way I'll ever let go
For you I'm on the run
Your flight's the solo
My heart is a beating drum

Sweet molasses, brewing dark oblivion
Dress my soul in your serenity
Empty shadows, traces after you're gone
N' I'm all alone in the city

You broke the seal, you made the sacrifice
Seasons fall before they turn to rise
With you I'll fly away

Can you hear the distant echo
Can you hear the constant hum
Your song's the color
My heart is a beating drum
(Ain't) No way I'll ever let go
For you I'm on the run
Your flight's the solo
My heart is a beating drum

I'm the one pulling your strings, but you're no marionette
Sticking needles in the pins, I follow no etiquette
You are the soul in the soul of a moment, you are my only safe bet
You are the hope when it says the end
You are the tears that I'll shed
