Restart My Heart

(mmm)
System broken.

You are the glitch in my system,
Deleted all the apps from my phone in July,
told my friends I was done with the try.
I watched my older sister cry until she shook
and swore I'd never write that kind of book.
Built a quiet wall around my chest, ten feet high,
hung a rusted padlock on the gate nearby.
I called romance a movie trick, a chemical lie —
a little spark designed to die.

I had the armor on,
I had the drawbridge drawn,
I was doing fine on my own.
(fine on my own)

But you are the glitch in my system,
the error I don't want to fix.
I kept the phone face-down in the dark —
now I'm letting you restart my heart.

Restart my heart. (restart my heart)
The error I don't want to fix.
(you're the glitch in my system)

I kept my distance from the starry-eyed and naive,
mocked the poets and the fools who still believe.
Wore independence like a badge on my coat
and proved every dreamer was missing the boat.
You looked at me across the table at the bar,
smiled like you knew the password to who we are.
Suddenly the iron wall began to bloom;
suddenly the lock broke open in the room.

I had the armor on, (armor on)
I had the drawbridge drawn, (drawbridge drawn)
I was doing fine on my own.
(fine on my own)

But you are the glitch in my system,
the error I don't want to fix.
I kept the phone face-down in the dark —
now I'm letting you restart my heart.

Truth is, I don't know how to do this;
I might mess it all up.
I'm terrified of falling, terrified of trust —
but I'd rather risk the breaking
than never taste the wine.
My phone's face-up on the table now.
I'm putting my hand in yours. I'm crossing the line.

(crossing the line)
Firewall down. (password found)
(let the signal come through)

You are the glitch in my system,
the error I don't want to fix.
I kept the phone face-down in the dark —
now I'm letting you restart my heart.

You broke the system.
Go ahead — restart my heart.
(the beautiful glitch)
