Verse
Red bulb swinging on an iron wire
Bassline humming like a slow coal fire
Your palm flat against my cotton shirt
Bare feet turning in the yard of dirt
Nobody speaks when the tempo drops
We just lean till the thinking stops
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it through the floor?
Nobody looking for the door
Hold on, hold on
Let it roll, let it roll
Chorus
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
No cold air in the middle of the night
Deep down low where the pulse stays tight
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
Verse
Cool breeze blowing off the open tin
Warm skin breathing where the song comes in
Sweat dried down in the three a.m.
Kick drum striking on the count again
Your head resting on my collarbone
Heavy wood singing all alone
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it through the floor?
Nobody looking for the door
Hold on, hold on
Let it roll, let it roll
Chorus
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
No cold air in the middle of the night
Deep down low where the pulse stays tight
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
Bridge
Let the houses turn their lanterns down
Let the morning circle round the town
All we have is the wood and the stone
And the weight of the blood and bone
Chorus
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
No cold air in the middle of the night
Deep down low where the pulse stays tight
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
