Cover art for To The Beat Of Our Noisy Hearts lyrics by Matt Nathanson

I think, like everyone else this is about an independent woman 'she don't lie in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, She don't wait to begin'

Who can hold her own in the world and never shows her vulnerability 'she skates where the ice thins'

And her family don't accept her because she's looking for the man of her dreams and has many boyfriends 'she was her mothers secret, She was daddy's girl, She brought weekend boys home in her curls'

The guy singing the song is fed up with her because she doesn't tell him her feelings and tries to leave 'come say it to my face I'm holding back again and I'm already gone, gone

But as much as she dislikes showing her vulnerability through her feelings she wants to speak to him "she said pick up the phone"

But she knows this will only push them further away because she can't show her feelings 'cause I need to get more alone your voice drives me crazy"
