Rhythmbox: There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground--

Rhythmbox: There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground--
Me: *rewinds*
Rhythmbox: --it makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground--
Me: *rewinds*
Rhythmbox: --that froze-- --that froze-- --that froze--
Me: Huh. I bet it's because the rest of the verse is in present tense.
