A Heartbeat Behind - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

The snake eats itself and there’s a word for it

I got a lump in my throat, you won’t have heard of it

Selfish is my middle name

And I’ve done my best to postpone the game

Soon I will opt in

I’ve been a heartbeat behind

For most of my life

I’ve been a heartbeat behind

For most of my life

I’ve been a heartbeat behind

The lights are on but nobody’s home

Be quiet while my heart’s on the phone

I made such hard work of getting you

Love became a hobby too

I’m in no way badly done to

After all, I have you
