Drummer Love

I’m just so unused to everything about you. In truth, my hearts been beating along to a different chorus for so long that your melody, though beautiful, just isn’t flowing with it. And, true, I could change my tempo to fit yours. Take out the crash and emphasize the bass… But then it just wouldn’t be the same beat. I’m not asking you to change your lyrics and I hope you don’t ask me to change my beat. My suggestion rather is that we start from scratch. A new collection of harmonies and cymbals, new words to new music. And after we’ve both changed, after we’ve come together to create something new. It will be beautiful. Because it will be ours.
