Heart

Kehoa 2002 (Sweden)



My heart never stops beating
Yet I forget I have possess one unless I think about it
But you remind me
It seems to work harder and faster in your presence
The beat pounds in my head like church bells as I try to talk
Echoing in fusion with your words
If only I could know if your bells are as loud as mine
If my presence reminds you of your heart
Or if it's pumping out every blood vessel as fast as mine
