Lyrics

Comin' out of the window

Watchin' down from the wall

Billie listens to your heartbeat

Floatin' down the hall

You think my eyes are covered over

You think my heart has crawled away

Billie listens to your heartbeat

When I don't know what to say

I meant to be your drivin' wheel

I meant to be your swing

If I had a tongue like that

I would keep you safe

I would keep you safe from everything

I made a deal with the ocean

I made a deal with the ground

Billie listins to your heartbeat

When I'm not around

When I'm not around
