Electric Kitten - Drummer Boyfriend Lyrics

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
