Keep the Beat (You're Falling Behind)

from Thomas Henry Huxley by Bubble Made Imagination

lyrics

I keep the beat but my timing ain’t perfect
I slow down when you wanna go fast
I keep the beat but don’t always listen
Forget lines when you say something strange

I keep the beat but repeat staid patterns
Play two and four when you want five and nine
I keep the beat but missed the intro
I start late when you have perfect time

I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind

I keep the beat but can’t even hear you
Your mouth moves but there are no words
I keep the beat but fell off backwards
You stand tall while I lay on the floor

I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind
I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind
Falling behind

I keep the beat but you know that line
You wrote that line
You said it a thousand times
You said it like a roaring lion
You said, keep in step, shape up
Straighten up
Listen closely

You keep the beat but don’t stop to breath
You fill the room with your wicked sound
You keep the beat but don’t repeat it
Play five and nine after two and four
You keep the beat but hate the outro
Wanna go back to where we started from
You keep the beat but it doesn’t matter
If I’m behind we are solo

I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind
I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind
I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I keep the beat, I try to keep up
I can’t keep up, I’m falling behind

Hi, I’m Andy, I make rock music in my home studio whenever time allows. I’m a child of the eighties, learned guitar in the nineties, mimicked the writing of indie rock in the early aughts, and have been winging it ever since. I have a DIY attitude and philosophy to make what I want to hear, do best with what I’ve got and treat each song as a time capsule. ... more
