This song is about a tide of emotion that goes through your heart when you meet your right one. The flutter in your heart is just like a drum beat that kicks on your chest, and drives you insane. It is also a representation of the album sounds (synths, electric, pop, rock, acoustic, folk).
lyrics
You make my head spin like a record babe
You make my heart talk to me, like
You make my soul sing to me
And I keep telling you that I can't do this anymore
I've tried so many times to stop this from coming back
But you are a drummer heartbeat, and it's coming down to this
I ain't going down today. I'm gonna tell how I feel tonight
and I am terrified.
Baby cause I've never tried to, baby cause you're driving me nuts
driving me insane, driving me crazy
with this drummer heartbeat
There's a thing that you'd like to say to me
and it makes me feel complete, I
Can't stand to watch you leave
so can I try to make it up by writing down this song
I'd do anything just to keep you here, baby please
Chorus
What if I told you tonight, would you believe me?
You're kick-drumming against my heartbeat.
Chorus
