about

Another new single! Here's our little adaptation of Childish Gambino's, Heartbeat.

lyrics

I wanted you to know that I am ready to go
Heartbeat, my heartbeat
I wanted you to know whenever you are around
Can't speak, I can't speak

My heartbeat (My heartbeat)
Can't speak (Can't speak)
My heartbeat (My heartbeat)
Can't speak (Can't speak)

(Verse 1 - Content)
And I feel like I, gotta watch everything I say
Coulda taken on the game in waves
Woulda made you mine, made things right
Instead you went M.I.A.
Now I'm feelin' noxious, I wondered why I stayed and I played with caution.
When you play with fire, you are bound to be burned in time
Every so often, I would find a little light and call it mine
Every so often, you would fight about me living in a lie
Every so often, I would wake you up from the loud ass beats and the bass and such
Enough was enough, you said that I said I should give it all up
(WHAT?)
Too you, for love, for rice, for doves, I was never worth dirt.
(No!) I'm taking my chance to make it all work, while you're on your ass, feeling all butt hurt.
I am just ready to go, to get outta town and tour the globe.
I want you to know that I'm not coming back to this world, back for you girl.

I wanted you to know that I am ready to go
Heartbeat, my heartbeat
I wanted you to know whenever you are around
Can't speak, I can't speak

(Verse 2 - Joule)
I remember when I first had saw you
We met through a friend who told me not to call you
I was taken, you persisted, you pursued me and I gave up girl
Cause you had glued me and got me stuck
Then things got ruff but we toughed it out
Through all the shit talk, no ass to mouth
I gave you all I had and I was cashing out
I stop seeing my friends and writing my songs
You complained about Dan and cried over some dog
I was trying to move on, you kept playing our song
We ain't spoke in so long till you texted me.
(Let's start a riot!)
Like hey I hope you don't regret this
I stepped on your heart when you least expected
Told you we were through when we last had messaged
I was at your last show, they told me not to step in
Now I'm hurt, I can't stop cryin', lets make this work, lets keep on tryin'
What happened to your "to fast?"
To late, so it's too bad.
What happened to "it's over?"
What happened to "you messed up?"
It's time for you to fess up, when you came over who played the opposite of dress up?

I wanted you to know that I am ready to go
Heartbeat, my heartbeat
I wanted you to know whenever you are around
Can't speak, I can't speak
