[Verse 1] I tried to keep it quiet Like a secret in my chest Every word I almost said Sleeping with the rest Played it cool in crowded rooms Acted like I’m fine But silence gets so heavy When it’s sitting on your spine [Pre-Chorus] But every time you say hello You wake my noisy little heart [Chorus] My noisy little heart Beating like a broken drum Every time you walk too close It forgets where I’m from My noisy little heart Never learned to play it cool Every quiet rule you gave Turns to sparks when I see you [Verse 2] You say feelings get messy Better keep them on a leash But I’ve never been the type To keep my ghosts on a leash So I laugh a little louder Let the midnight speakers start If love’s a reckless soundtrack I’ll just play the louder part [Pre-Chorus] But patience never stood a chance Against my noisy little heart [Chorus] My noisy little heart Beating like a broken drum Every time you walk too close It forgets where I’m from My noisy little heart Never learned to play it cool Every quiet rule you gave Turns to sparks when I see you [Bridge] Maybe love’s a shouting crowd Maybe it’s a quiet spark Maybe it’s a stupid song You sing out in the dark [Final Chorus] My noisy little heart Beating like a broken drum Every time you walk too close It forgets where I’m from My noisy little heart Never learned to play it cool Every quiet rule you gave Turns to sparks when I see you
