I was checking sound
When you first came around
And I was staring at you
Through the mirrors in the room
And I wish that I could've seen
Your face when you first looked up
But you shot me one of your little gazes
And that was enough
For me to know
That you were a place
I had to go
And I'll never understand
Why people try so hard
To get away from the beating
Of their own hearts
I was reading signs
Like hand motions
But less defined
And you were reading mine
So we figured it all out
At the same time
And I think I could've
Broken down on your couch that night
When you spoke to me with your eyes
And they looked just right
For me to know
That you were a place
I had to go
I'll never understand
Why people try so hard
To get away from the beating
Of their own hearts
Oh, oh
Symphonies are playing
And are never being heard
Birds are chirping too
But are drowning in our words
Words that don't mean shit
But are weighing us all down
Just so we can pay
For a ticket off the ground
Oh, we go to new locations
In search of something true
Or just to get away
From the things we always do
And everything we do
Is a reflection of our past
Beliefs that we adopted
Under questions never asked
So now I'm making sound
While you dance, baby
Dance all around
And I'm still staring at you
I can't help it
God, I love the way you move
And I think that I could've
Scared you off
If you weren't so brave
'Cause you silenced
Your fearful thoughts
And that is the way
That I came to know
That you are a place
I have to go
And I'll never understand
Why people try so hard
To get away from the beating
Of their own hearts
