Kelis Acapella

I was walking, was living
My melody was acapella,
There's a beat I was missing,
No tune, or a scale, I could play

The 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,
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 overthinking,
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 heart beat,
Bass and guitar lead,
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on
Red like a crayon,
I can't walk away
