Beat

This is the only life we know 

we are the sole survivor

Of the disaster that we sow

You and I only know

The secrets we can't show

So hear me when I whisper 

Never listen when i shout

The heart is a brittle organ

But its tune will come out

To a mostly steady beat 

So hold your breathe a little longer 

And when the time comes let it go

Gone

The leaves came out again

Like they always do 

If I could only walk under them 

One more time with you

But that’s not gonna happen 

Because of mortality 

So I sing this song for you 

Like you would have done for me 

I don’t go for superstition 

It only clouds the windows 

That you helped me to keep clear 

I’ll look out of them every day 

And try to feel you near
