Love was a street
Heading to a highway
Stop signs always getting in my way
Long roads that I never could walk alone

Love was a knife
Cutting through the daydream
Felt just like a humming in my blood stream
Never knowing if the wound was healing right

And then there was you
Coming in like a breath of fresh air
Steady sailing to answer my prayers
Nothing to lose

And that is the truth
You were there like a heartbeat machine
Showing me that I could believe
And not a minute too late, not a second too soon
You were there at the right time just when I needed you

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night
So come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along

Love was a song
Played it on piano
No beat so the rhythm was a shadow
Never knowing if you'd hear it on the radio

Love was a door
Closing at the wrong time
Knock knock is it ever gonna open?
Long time to be standing on the other side

And then there was you
Coming in like a breath of fresh air
Steady sailing to answer my prayer
And not a minute too late, not a second too soon
You were there at the right time just when I needed you

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night
So come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along

L-O-V-E, B-E-A-T
Your love is a beat
L-O-V-E, B-E-A-T
Your love is a beat
L-O-V-E, B-E-A-T
Your love is a beat

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night

Your love is a beat
Keeping my heart in time
Your love is a beat
Making me dance all night
So come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along
Come a little closer
Make me wanna drum along
