Lyrics Oh Heart - Jill Barber

Oh Heart

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
