Arrhythmia cover art

  • Digital Track

    This song is about an overwhelming awareness of your own mortality. Your heart is an amazing instrument and by some sort of miracle it continues to beat away in time with your emotions. Whenever it skips a beat or loses it's rhythm, it's a troubling thought.

    Think of your heart in contrast with other continuous rhythms, a grandfather clock, a metronome, etc. What happens when they are interrupted?

lyrics

Like a pendulum on a grandfather clock
It could be the end if my heart wants to stop
Like a four on the floor in a west sixth club
My body can’t live if my heart doesn’t pump
And the internet calls in arrhythmia
But I think it just means I could die kind of young

So with this stuttering heart and all our history
I fell back with a girl who's in love with me
I didn’t really know what I was doing
I just took the bait and I lost the beat

But I saw Jamie at the show on Saturday night
I couldn’t look too long cause I knew I’d go blind
She left an afterimage of herself on my eyes
And that’s the kind of hurt I can’t go through twice

So just pass another cup of that bubblegum stuff
A few more and I should be able to stand up by myself
Another Sunday morning still kind of drunk
Another Sunday night with no one to touch

That’s when I noticed I was trying to romanticize it
By looking for something good in my bad habits
Now I only break my rules on the weekend
And holidays and anytime I might feel like it

So please don’t say no wonder you’re sad
‘cause I would do these things no matter what happens
And don’t be stupid I’m really not that bad
I see you in the morning; give you a call when I get back.
