Borrowed Heartbeat
by Scott Muir
Lyrics
Verse 1
I got a room full of quiet
And a phone that don't ring
Same shirt on the chair
Same old nothing in me
Everybody's out there shining
And I'm stuck in the rain
I smile for the mirror
But it don't ease the pain
Pre-Chorus
I keep watching the couples
Like they know a secret
How they fall into love
Like they were made to keep it
And I feel so far from that
Like my heart missed the train
Yeah, I want what they got
But it won't come my way
Chorus
I wish I could love like you do
Hold somebody close and true
I need those sweet loving arms
To pull me through
I wish I could love like you do
Baby, tell me what to do
'Cause this lonely little heart
Wants to bloom
Verse 2
I see you laugh with the moon
Like it knows your name
You can turn a hard day soft
And make hurt feel tame
I want that warm kind of feeling
That stays and don't leave
Something tender to live in
Something soft in me
Pre-Chorus
I keep watching the couples
Like they know a secret
How they fall into love
Like they were made to keep it
And I feel so far from that
Like my heart missed the train
Yeah, I want what they got
But it won't come my way
Chorus
I wish I could love like you do
Hold somebody close and true
I need those sweet loving arms
To pull me through
I wish I could love like you do
Baby, tell me what to do
'Cause this lonely little heart
Wants to bloom
Bridge
Maybe I been building walls
Where a garden should grow
Maybe I need your touch
To teach my soul
If you got some of that magic
Let it fall on me
I'm ready for a soft kind of forever
And I want it badly
Chorus
I wish I could love like you do
Hold somebody close and true
I need those sweet loving arms
To pull me through
I wish I could love like you do
Baby, tell me what to do
'Cause this lonely little heart
Wants to bloom
