I was checking sound When you first came around And I was staring at you Through the mirrors in the room And I wish that I could have seen your face when you first looked up But you shot me one of your little gazed and that was enough For me to know That you were a place I had to go And I'll never understand why people try so hard To get away from the beating of their own hearts I was reading signs Like hand motions but less defined And you were reading mine So we figured it all out at the same time And I think that I could have broken down on your couch that night When you spoke to me with your eyes and they looked just right For me to know That you were a place I had to go And I'll never understand why people try so hard To get away from the beating of their own hearts Symphonies are playing and are never being heard Birds are chirping too, but are drowning in our words Words that don't mean sh** but are weighing us all down Just so we can pay for a ticket off the ground Oh, we go to new locations in search of something true Or just to get away from the things we always knew And everything we do is a reflection of our past Beliefs that we adopted under questions never asked So now I'm making sound While you dance, baby, dance all around And I'm still staring at you, oh I can't help it, God, I love the way you move And I think that I could have scared you off if you weren't so brave 'Cuz you silenced your fearful thoughts and that is the way That I came to know That you are a place I have to go And I'll never understand why people try so hard To get away from the beating of their own hearts
