Your Drums, Your Love Lyrics
[Intro]
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
[Verse 1]
You can't say that I'm going nowhere
'Cause you don't know where I'm coming from
And you can't say that I'm going nowhere
When I have been trying to reach you for so long
[Interlude]
(Your drums, we're drumming, your drums)
[Verse 2]
Friends say I've got something wrong
'Cause I've been trying to reach you for so long
For so long, I've tried
To reach you, baby, don't you know that
[Chorus]
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe I'm not strong enough, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
[Verse 1]
You can't say that I'm going nowhere
'Cause you don't know where I'm coming from
And you can't say that I'm going nowhere
When I have been trying to reach you for so long
[Interlude]
(Your drums, we're drumming, your drums)
[Verse 2]
Friends say I've got something wrong
'Cause I've been trying to reach you for so long
For so long, I've tried
To reach you, baby, don't you know that
[Chorus]
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe I'm not strong enough, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
[Verse 3]
I can't say why I'm going nowhere
This feeling goes on and on
I can't say that I'm going somewhere
When I've been failing to reach you for so long
For so long, I've tried
To reach you, baby, don't you know that
[Chorus]
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe I'm not strong enough, oh
[Bridge]
Maybe all along (All along)
I've been holding on (Holding on)
To the promise that you need some time
Making everything into a story
Making sure I never get to feel happy
Taking everything you do my own way
Thinking that you're begging me, please
[Chorus]
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe I'm not strong enough, oh
I can't say why I'm going nowhere
This feeling goes on and on
I can't say that I'm going somewhere
When I've been failing to reach you for so long
For so long, I've tried
To reach you, baby, don't you know that
[Chorus]
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe I'm not strong enough, oh
[Bridge]
Maybe all along (All along)
I've been holding on (Holding on)
To the promise that you need some time
Making everything into a story
Making sure I never get to feel happy
Taking everything you do my own way
Thinking that you're begging me, please
[Chorus]
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe I'm not strong enough, oh
[Outro]
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
About
Genius Annotation
“Your Drums, Your Love” is a track from the debut album of AlunaGeorge, Body Music and was released on July 26 2013.
Pitchfork said the following about the track:
The new AlunaGeorge single, “Your Drums, Your Love”, is the work of a pair inhabiting a widescreen space while keeping peculiar production touches in tact. Everything they do here seems to prioritize maximizing emotion. Beats snap harder, toying with negative space to create depth; production is thoroughly textured but less dense. And occasionally a hyper-warped male vocal offers a welcomed foil for Francis' voice to stretch and soar.
