Got rhythm in his bones
Got songs in his mouth
Tap tapping on a drum set
a steering wheel
our kitchen table
I hear him
My husband got broken up beats that hide behind his teeth
My husband got broken up beats that hide behind his teeth
His heartbeat is my bass line slash life line when I just don't know if I can deal with this life
he is there
he is there
keeping time
Tap tapping on a high hat when I am low
Most days he is is the only thing I can feel
because depression has taken hold of this body
because depression has taken hold of this body
I do not know how to be anyone's metronome
Yet here I am wife, friend, lover
I've come to realize that this love is a song
and we are the dancers
And just when I think I will fall
this man
he catches me
And I feel the music in his blood
Feel the rhythm in his bones
and taste the songs in his mouth
And just when I think I will fall
this man
he catches me
And I feel the music in his blood
Feel the rhythm in his bones
and taste the songs in his mouth
