[Verse 1]
In the dark
Before the names
Floating quiet
Nothing framed
All I hear is one slow drum
Telling me my time will come
Tiny spark in a crimson sea
Every thud says “trust in me”
I don’t see
But I still know
I just sway with every blow
[Chorus]
Your heartbeat
First rhythm I believed in
Your heartbeat
My cradle and my beacon
Every boom
Every hush
Taught my blood how to rush
Your heartbeat
Told my soul the world was kind
[Verse 2]
Rolling waves inside your chest
Rock me gently into rest
Universe in every push
Turning chaos into hush
I was nothing
Then a note
Riding on that steady boat
You were thunder
You were calm
You were promise in my palm
[Chorus]
Your heartbeat
First rhythm I believed in
Your heartbeat
My cradle and my beacon
Every boom
Every hush
Taught my blood how to rush
Your heartbeat
Told my soul the world was kind
[Bridge]
If I doubt my own direction (oh)
I lean back into that sound
Feel the drum behind the silence
Feel the world still spinning round
[Chorus]
Your heartbeat
First rhythm I believed in
Your heartbeat
My cradle and my beacon
Every boom
Every hush
Taught my blood how to rush
Your heartbeat
Told my soul the world was kind
