Pulse in my chest 2 4

Verse 1 – female vocal

I find you in the kitchen at midnight, humming to no one's tune

Candlelight on your collarbone, the stove a warm pale blue

You're making tea that nobody needs yet, but you make it for me anyway

Your socks are soft from wearing them twice

Pre-Chorus

And then we dance across the counter, spilling sugar through the air

The clock outside turns into slow motion, just us two, no one there

Can you feel what's building inside of your chest?

Chorus

We keep this pulse in our chests, beating like a drum

A rhythm only we can hear and nobody's come yet

But I'm counting the seconds when you'll finally say it out loud

And I don't care if it takes all night long, we're not leaving here without it

Verse 2 – male vocal

I find you in the garden at dawn, your hair wet from the rain

The sun is up but it's still dark where we are

You're watering flowers that nobody planted yet

Their petals fold to your touch like they remember you before this time

And I don't know if it's the dew or the way your eyes lock on mine

But everything inside of me goes quiet, like the whole world agrees

To let us breathe here together for as long as we need

Pre-Chorus

And then we step off into daylight, our feet leaving footprints in the air

The whole street turns into slow motion when you touch my hand over there

Can you feel what's building inside of your chest?

Chorus

We keep this pulse in our chests, beating like a drum

A rhythm only we can hear and nobody's come yet

But I'm counting the seconds when you'll finally say it out loud

And I don't care if it takes all night long, we're not leaving here without it

Bridge

Maybe it never needed words at all

Maybe this is just how our hearts talk to us

So let's keep the music low and keep it inside

Where it can stay until we're both ready to leave this place behind

Chorus

We keep this pulse in our chests, beating like a drum

A rhythm only we can hear and nobody's come yet

But I'm counting the seconds when you'll finally say it out loud

And I don't care if it takes all night long, we're not leaving here without it
