Heart in the Middle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You walk in with a silver jacket Laughing like you planned the weather I was counting coins at the corner market Now the whole room moves together You say, “Come on, don’t overthink it” Pull me past the folding chairs There’s a blue stamp fading on your wrist And a loose curl in your hair [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need a perfect reason We don’t need a better view Every little doubt is leaving When I turn and look at you [Chorus] Put your heart in the middle, let it roll Let the rhythm find the parts we couldn’t hold We’ve got sparks in our shoes and a wild new sound When you lift me up, I can’t come down Put your heart in the middle, don’t let go Take the long way home and let the whole night show If tomorrow asks where all our trouble went Tell it we spent every minute well spent [Verse 2] Your old hatchback smells like peppermint The radio cuts in and out We sing the wrong words to the traffic report And laugh until we lose the route At the diner by the county line You draw a sun beside my name The coffee’s cold, the booth leans left But nothing feels the same [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need a perfect reason We don’t need a better view Every little doubt is leaving When I turn and look at you [Chorus] Put your heart in the middle, let it roll Let the rhythm find the parts we couldn’t hold We’ve got sparks in our shoes and a wild new sound When you lift me up, I can’t come down Put your heart in the middle, don’t let go Take the long way home and let the whole night show If tomorrow asks where all our trouble went Tell it we spent every minute well spent [Bridge] No map, no warning, no alibi Just your hand in mine while the hours fly The hard days can wait by the kitchen door We’re not who we were anymore [Final Chorus] Put your heart in the middle, let it roll Let the rhythm find the parts we couldn’t hold We’ve got sparks in our shoes and a wild new sound When you lift me up, I can’t come down Put your heart in the middle, don’t let go Take the long way home and let the whole night show If tomorrow asks where all our trouble went Tell it we spent every minute well spent [Outro] Right here, right now, let it roll Right here, right now, heart in the middle
