[Verse 1]
I know you didn't think loving me meant so much time alone
Dinner for one on the couch, another movie on your own
You know that I'm never gonna be a 9 to 5, that was never me
I was born with a compass in my hand and a restless soul
[Pre-Chorus]
But when it hurts, when you can't take it
And when the rubber band feels like it's breaking
[Chorus]
You hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
[Verse 2]
As far as ladies go, baby, you should know you're so patient
You're a thick-skin definition of low maintenance
But if enough time goes by, you can't help but dim your light
An empty house can make a cold heart feel so naked
[Pre-Chorus]
But when it hurts, when you can't take it
And when the rubber band feels like it's breaking
[Chorus]
You hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
[Bridge]
Oh, let the audio be your second home for a while
And hold on to every note
Baby, listen close for me inside
And hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow
[Chorus]
And hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
Will kiss you slow tonight
I know you didn't think loving me meant so much time alone
Dinner for one on the couch, another movie on your own
You know that I'm never gonna be a 9 to 5, that was never me
I was born with a compass in my hand and a restless soul
[Pre-Chorus]
But when it hurts, when you can't take it
And when the rubber band feels like it's breaking
[Chorus]
You hear the kick drum, that's my heart right there
Let the melody run its fingers through your hair
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
And my vocals tickle your ear
And you almost can feel me here
And my piano will kiss you slow tonight
