[Verse 1]
Took me by surprise
You get a rise out of me
No one's been able in an awful long time
Good while it lasted
That's all I was asking for
And no one's been able in an awful long time

[Chorus]
I don't know what it is
That keeps you in my heart like this
I can't say what it is
That keeps you in my heart, my heart like this

[Verse 2]
Takin' my time
I'd walk the line before me
Just to remind me all the trouble that's mine
Not what it seems
You're a snake in the tree before me
Just to remind me all the trouble that's mine

[Chorus]
I don't know what it is
That keeps you in my heart like this
I can't say what it is
That keeps you in my heart, my heart like this
[Verse 3]
Holding my breath
I've made the best
Of every moment that' led to my meeting you here
I'm scared to death
But I know better
Than to to let a good feeling be out-talked by fear

[Chorus]
I don't know what it is
That keeps you in my heart like this
I can't say what it is
That keeps you in my heart, my heart like this
