Acapella

Kelis · Flesh Tone [2010]

I was walking, was living

My melody was acapella

There's a beat I was missing

No tune or a scale I could play



No sound in the distance

No orchestra playing together

Like a boat out to sea

The silence was too deafening



So come and revive me

I can't feel my heartbeat

It's just me surviving alone



Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing

Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing



Everything was the same

One color was just like the others

An assembly routine

My memories were all black and white



Till I stopped over-thinking

Decided to draw back the curtains

And I cleared all the cobwebs

And began to let in the light



So come and revive me

I can't feel my heartbeat

Just me surviving alone



Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing

Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing



You are the drum in my heartbeat

Bass and guitar lead

Stuck on the notes you play

My heart that you play on

Grabbed like a crayon

I can't walk away



You're the drum in my heartbeat

Bass and guitar lead

Stuck on the notes you play

My heart that you play on

Grabbed like a crayon

I can't walk away



You are the drum in my heartbeat

Bass and guitar lead

Stuck on the notes you play

My heart that you play on

Grabbed like a crayon

I can't walk away



Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing

Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing



Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing

Before you my whole life was acapella

Now a symphony's the only song to sing
