Heartbeat Controls My Mind

[Verse 1]
You walk in
My ribs start rattling
Thoughts slip
Like coins through a crack in the floor
I talk tough
But my chest keeps stuttering
Every word I planned
Is stuck at the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it fate
Or just bad wiring
Every time you’re near
I crash
I burn
I climb
[Chorus]
When your heartbeat controls my mind
I can’t tell the truth from the lies I find
You say my name and it cuts the line
Now I’m lost in the pulse I’m tied to
When your heartbeat controls my mind
I give up the wheel
Let the crash unwind
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna find
Any way to be free from you
[Verse 2]
Short breath
Like the air got smaller
Hands shake
I pretend that I’m fine
I’m fine
You laugh
And the room gets louder
Every little look
Rewrites my spine
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it love
Or just bad timing
Every time you turn
I fall
I break
I shine
[Chorus]
When your heartbeat controls my mind
I can’t tell the truth from the lies I find
You say my name and it cuts the line
Now I’m lost in the pulse I’m tied to
When your heartbeat controls my mind
I give up the wheel
Let the crash unwind
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna find
Any way to be free from you
[Bridge]
Turn it up
If it’s gonna hurt
Let it hurt like this (oh)
I’ve been numb
I’ve been worse than this
So let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
[Chorus]
When your heartbeat controls my mind
I can’t tell the truth from the lies I find
You say my name and it cuts the line
Now I’m lost in the pulse I’m tied to
When your heartbeat controls my mind
I give up the wheel
Let the crash unwind
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna find
Any way to be free from you

rock, Modern alternative rock with male vocals; tight, overdriven rhythm guitars locked to a punchy drum groove, bass pushing the verses forward. Pre-chorus pulls back with toms and picked guitar, then chorus explodes with wide power chords and stacked shout-along backing vocals. Brief bridge with a half-time feel, then final chorus in a higher key with extra harmonies and a long held final note.
