about

this song was inspired by one of the times I fell in love, on a wintery trip to nyc years ago. most of us will fall in love a few times in our life. no matter how old or young you are, there's a moment when the question hangs in the air--waiting for an answer--the inevitable, risky moment where you realize how much you care and you have to know--do they love you back?

"you could beat my heart
if you wanted to
do you want me, too?"

lyrics

I touched the rain I was heading nowhere
Your whiskered cheek and the morning window frost
Scaffolded art
I left my coat in the hotel closet
(My) heart down there in a broken locket
That I always wore

You could beat my heart
If you wanted to
Do you want me too?
You could beat my heart
If you wanted to
Do you want me too?

It was wild and white (a cloud of violence)
salted rain, and my new boots, so cold on the ground
But you--you couldn't help but light it up
(Your) mahogany eyes and the streets of New York

You could beat my heart
If you wanted to
Do you want me too?
You could beat my heart
If you wanted to
Do you want me too?

I was running all night (you didn't notice)
Trains up high while you slept with your head in my chest
We danced and dreamed never knowing
Didn't miss a beat didn't care for nothin' more
Baby you're a work of art

You could beat my heart
If you wanted to
Do you want me too?
You could beat my heart
If you wanted to
Do you want me too?
