Heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat

My heart is playing tricks on me

And it's building bricks on me

I can't break through

And I can't face you

My world is turning slowly now

But it's burning up somehow

I need some time

To know what's right

'Cause it's only in the quiet that I feel some relief

I'm trying hard not to resist the joy

Don't listen to me I'm being paranoid

I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat

My heart skips a beat

My heart is always first to know

And as the feeling grows

I can't deny, push those thoughts aside

My world is full of loveliness

But I focus on the stress

My heart says, "Go" but my brain says, "No"

And it's only in the quiet that I hear myself breath

My heart skips a beat

My heart skips a beat

Oh, I know this time 'cause it's physical

My blood has stopped and I am breathless as well

But I need a minute to convince myself

'Cause it's only in the quiet that I know what to feel
