Close Like the Kick Drum lyrics
Verse
Kick lands soft on your sternum
Counts your heartbeat down to mine
One-two, we move on the same line
Skin keeps time when the light goes dim
Pre-Chorus
Every beat leaves a little gap
Every gap, you fill it in
Nothing between us but the snap
Close as the kick and the skin
Chorus
Close like the kick drum
Close like the kick drum
Heartbeat and downbeat, we come
Close like the kick drum
Verse
Shoulder to shoulder, same slow drop
Your pulse rides in on the one
Smoke curls where the rhythm stops
We fall in before it's done
Pre-Chorus
Every beat leaves a little gap
Every gap, you fill it in
Nothing between us but the snap
Close as the kick and the skin
Chorus
Close like the kick drum
Close like the kick drum
Heartbeat and downbeat, we come
Close like the kick drum
Bridge
No air between the hit and the hold
Your chest against the beat I know
Kick drum keeps us close
Outro
