Drummer Boyfriend

He's got duct tape on his toms and a milk crate for a throne He says the groove's in the cracks, not the metronome Keeps a lighter in his pocket, though he quit last year Hits the cymbal too hard, but I like him here Drummer boyfriend, always a half-step behind But he keeps the time when I'm losing mine He's got no plan, just a beat in his hands And that's fine He drums on the dashboard, hums off-key Burns through the playlist he stole from me His car won't start, so we're walking again But his rhythm's good enough to keep me in Drummer boyfriend, never plays it straight He's a little offbeat, but I'm never late He's got no plan, just a beat in his hands And that's fine His timing is off, he thinks he's so great His fill are too light and his beats come late I'm better, he knows it but he's kinda sweet He's cute, keeps it fun and that's hard to beat Somewhere between the downbeat and the noise I hear something steady in all his broken toys It's not perfect, it's not even close But it works Drummer boyfriend, always a half-step behind But he keeps the time when I'm losing mine He's got no plan, just a beat in his hands And that's fine He hits the snare like it owes him cash Taps my shoulder in time with the flash Drummer boyfriend, yeah, he's a wreck But I'll take him
