Code Where Your Heart Should Be

Mmm... come here... let me open you slow

You came to me all polished, in a jacket smooth and clean Said everything I needed was just hiding in the seam But I opened up real slow, baby, the way that lovers do And the warmth I went to hold was just a number passing through

I ran my fingers over you, looking for a spark A little bit of fire to carry through the dark But you gave me digits, honey, where you should have given flame A pretty piece of paper with a barcode for a name

I don't want a promise that I cannot hold, no no I don't want a love I have to download

There's a code where your heart should be, where your heart should be A pretty little nothing that you handed down to me I can read it, I can feel it, but it won't set me free Oh, there's a code where your heart should be

So I'll fill you up myself now, put a groove inside the shell Spin a little something real where the silence used to dwell They keep turnin love to signal that you cannot carry round But I'll press it into something that a body understood

Let the bassline do the talking, let the horns confess What a number couldn't promise, let the rhythm answer yes 'Cause the future wants us weightless, wants us floating, wants us gone But I'm holdin to the warm thing when the cold thing carries on

There's a code where your heart should be, where your heart should be A pretty little nothing that you handed down to me I can read it, I can feel it, but it won't set me free Oh, there's a code where your heart should be

Where your heart should be... oh, where your heart should be But I'll put the soul right back, baby... yeah, yeah
