Oh Heart - Jill Barber

Oh heart

Your signal is breaking apart

Now you can hardly play

I remember a time

When the lines were so clear

That I would always obey

Somehow these days they keep slipping my mind

Wind you back up

Just to keep you in time

And oh how I miss

Those bells as they chimed

Every hour on the hour

They say all is fair in love

So I’m just playing fair

But there’s no guarantee against injury

And I think we’re in need of repair

Oh heart

I know that you’re doing your best

Riding in the backseat

Now you take a rest

And just leave it to me

I’ll sing the songs

And you keep the beat

Oh heart

I’m calling a penalty

Our defenses are growing weak

I think what we need is a new strategy

A little space between you and me

Sit out on the bench

And take a little time

Don’t think it’s so bad here on the sidelines

There’s no need to frown just because you are done

I think you’re gonna be fine

Oh heart

I know that you’re doing your best

Riding in the backseat

Oh heart

I’m not calling defeat

I’ll sing the songs

And you keep the beat
