Lyric

Coffee dripping in the early light

Crosswalk signals counting the time

My heartbeat racing when I almost fall

Even that becomes part of it all

Footsteps on the station floor

Rain tapping on my window door

Every sound, big or small

Plays a note in the song of it all

Every beat counts — the sirens at night

The laughter with friends, the red tail lights

Even my heartbeat when our eyes meet

Joins the rhythm this life creates

Every beat counts, every beat counts

Keys on the table, phones that ring

Whispers and shouts in the evening wind

Every mistake, every cheer I hear

Fills the chorus of my year

Footsteps running through the rain

Trains leaving with a lonely refrain

Every sound, wrong or right

Writes the rhythm of my life tonight

Every beat counts — the sirens at night

The laughter with friends, the red tail lights

Even my heartbeat when our eyes meet

Joins the rhythm this life creates

Every beat counts, every beat counts

The silence too, when I hold my breath

Waiting for the words I haven’t said

Even that pause, in the city’s sound

Keeps the music spinning round

Every beat counts — the sirens at night

The laughter with friends, the red tail lights

Even my heartbeat when our eyes meet

Joins the rhythm this life creates

Every beat counts, every beat counts
