That Beating Heart Lyrics

in the highest club in berlin
i'm on the the outside lookin' in
the intersections down below
reveal their own imperfect flow
frolics in the doorway
you always did things your way
conceal me from the passing drunks
the walk rise up nostalgic punks
the air grips everything tonight
holds your words up to the light
i understand that beating heart
i understand it plays it's part
i understand that beating heart
it plays it's part
in the highest club in berlin
my patience wearing paper thin
we descend into the streets
the rhythm fades as does the beat
so you cling to my lapels
i have to leave but were impelled
the subway tunnel curves and dips
your cotton vest begins to rip
the air grips everything tonight
holds your words up to the light
i understand that beating heart
i understand it plays it's part
i understand that beating heart
it plays it's part
your beating heart
