Backbeat

from Open by Sweet City Action

/

lyrics

Verse 1:
When he asks me what makes me tick
I told him it’s not a clock
It’s not my hopes
It’s not my dreams
It’s not my family
It’s not my friends
Well it’s the backbeat of my favorite song

Chorus:
And I simply won’t be held responsible
For love’s gone and lost
I won’t bear this weight on my shoulder any longer
Watch me walk out that door one last time just for effect
And read your Art of Seduction* a bit more carefully

Verse 2:
When you give me the silent treatment
I only have to laugh (hahaha)
Why wait for you to speak when my life is full of noise?
You’re not worth my precious time
I’ve got a horse
I’ve got a band
I’ve got a life

Bridge:
Chopsticks on the piano at 3 am
You finally tried to understand
What makes me tick inside
The musical clock inside my head my head my head

*The Art of Seduction is a book written about how to seduce women.
