metronome

the metronome of my heartbeat speeds up as I talk to you
but I can't play the notes any faster

I'm off beat
and my song of conversation is falling apart
I can see it in your eyes

I missed that chord, those notes shouldn't go together
I wonder if that's what you're thinking

with each failed rhythm the metronome gets faster
and my words just can't keep time
