“Sometimes my feet are tired and my hands are quiet, but there is no quiet in my heart.”
Variant: You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.

“Sometimes my feet are tired and my hands are quiet, but there is no quiet in my heart.”
Half of My Heart
Song lyrics, Battle Studies (2009)
Source: John Mayer - Battle Studies
Context: I was born in the arms of imaginary friends,
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been.
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing,
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring.Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation;
Half of my heart takes time.
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart.
“You heard me in my tune when I just heard confusion.”
Lyrics, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004)
“Where are you this moment?
only in my dreams.
You're missing, but you're always
a heartbeat from me.”
Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)
“My little dog—a heartbeat at my feet.”
Variant: My little old dog
a heart-beat
at my feet
