Fast hearts
(Billy Bob Thornton/Randy Mitchell)
I remember Houston, the air was too close And you said let me out of this cage right now And New Orleans was to be the next stop People are free there to breathe when they want It turned out the heat was too great there They wore blue suits and they ate there A U-Haul trailer and a girlfriend Took you to San Francisco bay For peace, for love and happiness But something went wrong in the middle of the night Who knows what makes a heart race too fast? And who knows what makes it just stop? Somehow I still feel it was a mistake And surely it wasn't just your heartbreak And maybe the sky was just running out of hope And maybe the heavens opened up and dropped down a rope And you grabbed Sometimes on clear days I try to find you But I never see anything but space And sometimes in the middle of the night I hear a whisper and sometimes a scream Well, I wonder what you're trying to say I think I may know what it is 'Cause I'm still here and I'm trying to win And you're trying to tell me that I can't 'Cause there's not enough love to fill me here My heart races fast just like yours I'll never forget that last look on your face And maybe you were too good for this place And maybe the sky was just running out of hope And maybe the heavens opened up and dropped down a rope My brother, my brother, my brother My brother, my brother, my brother Fast hearts just like yours My brother Fast hearts just like yours My brother Fast hearts just like yours My brother Fast hearts just like yours My brother Fast hearts just like yours My brother Fast hearts just like yours
