Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking in the mirror
Looking back
A look of wild living
Bound to crack
[Verse 2]
The heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
[Verse 3]
Howling at the future
Won't you be fast and full
All the noise and hot crossed veins
You, you got in you
[Verse 4]
Send your love on a rampage
Give her everything you've got
And when you come to hate her
Show her more than just a spark
[Verse 5]
Cause the heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on, it's a beating
The heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
It's a beating drum
[Verse 6]
And you feel like you've been here
So many times before
It's not the door you're using
But the way you're walking through it
[Verse 7]
If you feel like you've been here
So many times before
It's not the door you're using
But the way you're walking through it
[Verse 8]
Cause the heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on, it's a beating
The heart is a beating drum
The heart is a beating drum
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
It takes more than you wanted before
To keep it on
