Love is a Beat

Love was a street, heading to a highway
Stop signs always gettin' in my way
Long roads that I never could walk alone
Love was a knife, cuttin' through the daydream
Felt just like a hummin' in my bloodstream
Never knowin' if the wound was healing right

And then there was you
Comin' in like a breath of fresh air
Steady sailing to answer my prayers
And nothing to lose

And that is the truth
You were there like a heartbeat machine
Showing me that I could believe
And not a minute too late, not a second too soon
You were there at the right time, just when I needed you

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night
So come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along

Love was a song, played it on piano
No beat, so the rhythm was a shadow
Never knowin' if you'd hear it on the radio
And love was a door, closing at the wrong time
Knock, knock, is it ever gonna open?
Long time to be standin' on the other side

And then there was you
Comin' in like a breath of fresh air
Steady sailing to answer my prayer
And not a minute too late, not a second too soon
You were there at the right time, just when I needed you

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night
So come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along

L-O-V-E (your love is a beat)
B-E-A-T (your love is a beat)
L-O-V-E (your love is a beat)
B-E-A-T (your love is a beat)

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time (a little closer)
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night
So come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along

Come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along
