lyrics

Babbling heart, out of control
Help me hold on, as I rattle and roll
Stumbling, stammering, leaping about
Trying its best to get out

Babbling heart, beating within
Batter my ribs, with your indigo wings
Jibbering, jabbering, unstifled the shout
Try its best to get out
The beat of a babbling heart
That’s the beat of a babbling heart

Sometimes someone can simply turn your world about
Sometimes someone so easily, turns you inside out
Leaves you shuffled, leaves you played
Leaves all your lonesome plans unmade

So babbling heart, beating within
Batter my ribs, with your indigo wings
Jibbering, jabbering, unstifled the shout
Try its best to get out
The beat of a babbling heart
It’s the beat of a babbling heart

Sometimes the world you trusted proves only empty lies
Sometimes it is just better to let the boat capsize
Leave you gasping, nearly drowned
Leave you cast away but found
Delirious but sound
Incoherent, homeward bound

So my heart beats down its sweet retreat
To bounce right back up, whenever you meet
Go skipping down the street like a kid with a treat
Swift on his feet, the meter now complete
And in slow, intrepid accidents, my fingers they found yours
Entwined these two twin hands, tangled up with cause
And I’m dancing to the babbling beat
Dancing to the babbling beat
Dancing to the babbling beat of a babbling
Dancing to the babbling beat of a babbling
Dancing to the babbling beat of a babbling heart
