I've Heard That Beat Before

(앨범: Americana - 2017)

The neighborhood's really going down
Since the couple upstairs arrived back in town
Ain't never seen what they both look like
But I sure can hear them when they start to fight
They go at it

He shouts at her and she shouts back
He slams the door, she starts to pack

You know I can't help thinking
Starts me thinking
Yeah, I can't help thinking
You know I've heard that beat before
I've heard that beat before

And when he goes out to get drunk with friends
There's a record she plays over and over again
It reverberates and the bass end booms
And the windows shake in my bathroom, ah

Starts me thinking of a life I had
Before the good times turned to bad

And my heart starts aching
When the floor starts shaking
Yeah, there ain't no mistaking
The beat I've heard before
I've heard that beat before

What can I say what can I do
Like me and you its déjà vu
Those memories keep reappearing

Another day, another hour
Another brawl, another fight
Can't stand what I'm hearing

I've heard it all before, yeah
I've heard that beat before, c'mon, alright

Then one night it's a new flashback
Sound of a different pitter pat
A new song playing in an upbeat tone
And sounds of laughter when they get home, ah

Must be new love going on in that bed
Before the same old habit raises its head

As the mood starts changing
And the fights start raging
I just sit here waiting
'Cause I've heard that beat before (doo doo doo...)
I've heard that beat before
Yeah, I've heard that beat before, yes I have

I've heard that beat before (doo doo doo...)
Yeah, I heard it before (doo doo doo...)
Yeah, I've heard that beat before
