Ends Meet

I'd be happy making ends meet
If i would, if I could, listen to my own heart beat.
I'd be happy making ends meet.
At least I'd be listening to my own heart beat.
And I wish these city lights would just go dim
And the darkness would flutter out all the noises.
And in the middle of this chaos I'd have you to be the one to remind me just what my own voice is.
You'd sing
You'd be happy making ends meet,
If you find the courage to listen to your own heart beat.
I'd sing
You're right.
I'd be happy making ends meet.
Well at least I'd be listening to my own heart beat.
Right now I'm settling down alone.
But I've got confidence that I'll find a girl and make this a home.
We'll raise some sort of family,
And I pray to God my children will be the ones to understand me.
And I'll watch them grow old,
And with that, they'll get a bit more bold.
And I'll watch them grow old,
And with that, they'll get a bit more bold.
My son, he'll come to me with these exact words of poetry,
And I will listen, I will listen with
Envy.
He'll sing
"Dad, I'd be happy making ends meet.
Would you let me listen to my own heart beat?"
I'll sing
"Son, you can make whatever ends meet you need to,
But don't forget, don't forget you only get one heartbeat."
I think we are better off, better off
If we listen to our own heartbeats.
