Something Skips

Something skips
like a stone on water
It's funny how a round, flat stone
will make a laughing sound
Dancing across the water
One, two
	 three

It's my heart 
I'm talking about
I'm talking about my heart

I see you and
something skips
One, two
	 three
And you
who didn't know me when
put your head on my chest
hear the beating
hear
a laughing sound
But you'll never know 
(How could you know?)
what it means
when my heart
beats
