When My Heart Starts Talking

I’ve been walking through the echoes

of the things I didn’t say

every moment feels like static

till your voice cuts through the gray

There’s a melody you left here

in the corners of my chest

and it hits me when I’m quiet

like it knows me at my best

And when my heart starts talking

I can feel you pulling in

all the pieces I’ve been hiding

start to open up again

If I fall into the rhythm

will you let the truth begin?

’cause when my heart starts talking

it keeps whispering your name

The guitar plucks in a circle

like it’s tracing where you’ve been

and the harmonies float softly

like the breeze beneath my skin

The 808s keep blooming

warm and low behind the beat

and the words I meant to tell you

start to rise and sound complete

And when my heart starts talking

I can feel you pulling in

all the pieces I’ve been hiding

start to open up again

If I fall into the rhythm

will you let the truth begin?

’cause when my heart starts talking

it keeps whispering your name

Sometimes I try to lose you

in the noise of every night

but the second things get quiet

you come back in colored light

I rap the lines I’m scared of

then I sing the ones I trust

and the chorus hits too heavy

when I feel you in the dust

And when my heart starts talking

I can feel you pulling in

all the pieces I’ve been hiding

start to open up again

If I fall into the rhythm

will you let the truth begin?

’cause when my heart starts talking

it keeps whispering your name

Let the harmonies keep drifting

let the night stay warm and slow

every fragile little feeling

finding somewhere real to go

And when my heart starts talking

I don’t fight it anymore

’cause the ache becomes an answer

that I’ve long been reaching for

If tomorrow needs a moment

I’ll be waiting at your door

when my heart starts talking—

it’s you it’s calling for.
