Piano Keeps the Pulse (Version 2)

Verse

Chords drop soft where the kick used to be

Your hand finds the rail, right next to me

Fingers spread wide like keys on a run

Eight notes rising, we move as one

Piano loops back, a promise it keeps

Your shoulder leans in on the second sweep

Light through the smoke turns your face into gold

I don't know your name but I know the hold

Pre-Chorus

Is it the chord change or is it you

Keeping the beat that my chest moves to

Chorus

Piano keeps the pulse

Let it lead your feet

Piano keeps the pulse

Bodies find the key

Piano keeps the pulse

Rising with the heat

Piano keeps the pulse

Stay on the offbeat

Verse

Keys climb higher, the room lifts too

Your palm on my sternum, the rhythm comes through

Notes stack up like the floor's own breath

Nobody's counting what's left

Same three chords but they never get old

Turn a stranger's touch into something told

Piano bends and my knees bend too

I don't need the words, I just need the cue

Pre-Chorus

Is it the chord change or is it you

Keeping the beat that my chest moves to

Chorus

Piano keeps the pulse

Let it lead your feet

Piano keeps the pulse

Bodies find the key

Piano keeps the pulse

Rising with the heat

Piano keeps the pulse

Stay on the offbeat

Bridge

Take my hand off the rail

Put it where the low keys live

Maybe it's the song, maybe it's the way you give

Either way my ribs keep time

Either way I'm yours till the drop, till the climb

Chorus

Piano keeps the pulse

Let it lead your feet

Piano keeps the pulse

Bodies find the key

Piano keeps the pulse

Rising with the heat

Piano keeps the pulse

Stay on the offbeat
