[Intro - low bass pulse, intimate male vocal] I feel it under my ribs. A little current. A whole lot of night. [Verse 1] I catch the change in breathing Before the conversation turns. I keep a little light on low; I choose who gets to see it burn. I hear another rhythm Where the room expects a march. I bring a little sideways swing; I leave my fingerprints on the art. My hands can feel the weather, My mind can name the rain. I let them tell the same truth; I let my breathing take its space. [Pre-Chorus] I feel my answer rising, Warm and low beneath the noise. I let my shoulders loosen And give that feeling voice. [Chorus] I've got an electric heart, Deep water underneath. I let the current find its way; I give it room to breathe. I can love with both hands open, I can stand on my own feet. I've got an electric heart, And it keeps good time with me. [Verse 2] I've made a room feel easy By making myself small. I've offered up the quiet With my own back to the wall. Now I set another place At the table I prepared. If I want a little tenderness, I let myself be there. I've made a small mistake Into a trial of who I am. Now I miss a beat and grin And let the band come round again. [Pre-Chorus - bass opens up, rising harmonies] I put my name beside my yes; I keep my no complete. I like the warmth of being close With room enough for me. [Chorus - broad guitars, soulful harmonies] I've got an electric heart, Deep water underneath. I let the current find its way; I give it room to breathe. I can love with both hands open, I can stand on my own feet. I've got an electric heart, And it keeps good time with me. [Bridge - Rhodes, voice and spacious toms] I pour the storm into the river Where the narrow walls run gold. I give my wild ideas a body; I give my stories room to grow. I hear somebody laughing; My laugh comes rolling through. I leave a light beside the turning, Like the ones that helped me choose. [Final Chorus - full band, warm and expansive] I've got an electric heart, Deep water underneath. I've got a thousand ways to move And a body here with me. I can love with both hands open, I can stand on my own feet. I can make a little room For a world I've yet to meet. I've got an electric heart; I can feel the river rising. I've got a life I want to touch, And I like what I'm becoming. I've got an electric heart, And it keeps good time with me. [Outro - playful bass reply, soft vocal] I leave my shoulders easy. I leave a little mystery. I feel the laugh come up. I let it carry me.
