Can you hear my heartbeat? Can you hear it singing out? Can you hear it thumping what I want to say? What I want to say? It goes like Iiiiiiiiiii I wanna tell you how I feel Na-na-na-nanananana Ooh, I wanna tell you how I feel But you keep running circles – run me round Yeah you’ve got good intentions of hearing me out Got a little way of getting on my mind You got a little bit of everything; I find it on you Sugar baby Honey punkin You know I want you, oh It goes like Iiiiiiiiiii I wanna tell you how I feel Na-na-na-nanananana Na-na-na-nanananana Na-na-na-nanananana

You wanted to go somewhere You wanted to go somewhere Desert wind in your eyes Wind’s in your eyes You wanted to go somewhere But you lost your way somehow You wanted to go somewhere We kept you on the ground You walk a thousand miles Nothing to see here now A little girl with the sun in her eyes Sun in her eyes, ayy I’m in bed on my phone Guess I’m playing dumb Turn ‘em around, turn ‘em around, turn ‘em around Stay away from me Your blood, it calls from the ground Your blood, it calls But I’m not listening You walk a thousand miles Nothing to see here now Dust and tumbleweeds I’m in bed on my phone Guess I’m playing dumb Turn ‘em around, turn ‘em around, turn ‘em around Stay away from me Put up a wall, put up a wall, put up a wall Put up a wall between you and me Put up a wall between you and me You walk a thousand miles Your blood calls out from the ground But what does this have to do with me? Why am I on my phone? Like I can’t see your blood? Like I can’t hear you calling me? You wanted to go somewhere You wanted to go somewhere Swiping left and right, I Try to avoid your eyes When I was eight years old I didn’t bother to tie my shoes I wanted to go somewhere, everybody Smiled and helped me through

Reptile Eye 04:05
I heard your heart, calling out before we hit the ground I heard your heart, calling out Yeah we were falling, through the sky I thought we’d rip the world wide open Never touch the ground High You’ve been blinking like a reptile eye And I’m totally wild Drunk on your smile You – you hardly try You – oh but you’re floating You – with the reptile eyes Two flashing wings A burst of light You set me on fire Staggering, still alive On fire tonight I’m on fire There’s something burning in your eyes I’m on fire Don’t let me get away Don’t let me slip away Tonight I hear your heart Babbling our secret language I hear your heart, it’s calling out Your hands are pressing through the sky I thought we’d rip the world wide open We don’t touch the ground We’re high You’ve been blinking like a reptile eye I’m totally blind Breathing your fire You – sleek and wise You – oh move a little closer Yeah, you turn me inside out I’m on fire There’s something burning in your eyes I’m on fire Don’t let me get away Don’t let me slip away Tonight

Body Buzz 02:19
Can you feel the rhythm? Rhythm in my hands (Can you feel it! Can you feel it!) I get a body buzz Every time you touch me My hair stands up Every time you touch me, touch me Can’t get enough Every time you brush my skin My hair stands up Every time you touch me, touch me I get a buzz It’s just a little forward It’s just a little strange (Can you feel it! Can you feel it!) Something starts to happen Shivers through my skin (Can you feel it! Can you feel it!) Can you feel the rhythm? Rhythm in my hands (Can you feel it! Can you feel it!)

Baby let’s go home Leave our drinks at the bar You’ve got your coat Now let’s go outside Did you hear our song? I think they played it twice It had a killer chorus It went Na-na-na-na Na-ni-ni-na all night And I could hear you sing From way across the bar The catches in your voice are always Catching me off guard But I’m a bit too drunk to keep this up And you keep singing like there’s no reason You should ever stop Don’t stop Don’t stop Did you see my face? Can you believe this place? Full of people, smiling people And they’re licking off their plates And they’re sucking down their drinks And they’re turning off the lights and singing Na-na-na-na Na-ni-ni-na all night Na-na-na-na Na-ni-ni-na all night Na-na-na-na Na-ni-ni-na all night
