Lyrics

Verse:
You stepped into the room like you'd just wandered there, not that anyone noticed in the stuffy air. I caught up with you outside on the cool veranda where all the smokers laughed.
Chorus:
If I could put my finger on your pulse and feel your heart beat next to mine, if I could put my finger on your pulse, would I find that it beats for someone else's touch? Or that I maybe reach for you too soon, too much? Or instead that you love the simple honesty in such a sketchy move? If I could put my finger on your pulse and see the vital signs are there, if I could put my finger on your pulse, would you dare do something sketchy in return? Light a match to this overture and watch it burn? Why's it seem there's so little time and such a lot to learn, a lot to lose? Just a small miracle is all I need tonight, just a small miracle to get this right. If I could put my finger on your pulse and find a backbeat I can't lose, if I could put my finger on your pulse, would the hoo-doo that you do to me do me well? Back me up like a second line and break the spell that's been keeping me wide awake at night in this hotel on Lonely Street? Just a small miracle is all I need tonight, just a small miracle to get this right.
