Kelis - Acapella Lyrics

Artist: Kelis

Album: Flesh Tone

Genre: R&B

  • Songwriters: David Guetta, Kelis Jones, Jean-baptiste Kouame, Makeba Riddick, Frederick Riesterer

I was walking, was living, the melody was acapella
There's a beat I was missing, no tune or a scale I could play
No sound in the distance, no orchestra playing together
Like a boat out to sea, the silence was too deafening

So come and revive me, I can't feel my heartbeat
It's just me surviving alone

Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing
Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing

Everything was the same, one color was just like the others
An assembly routine, my memories were all black and white
'Til I stopped overt hinking, decided to draw back the curtains
And I cleared all the cobwebs and began to let in the light

So come and revive me, I can't feel my heartbeat
It's just me surviving alone

Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing
Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing

You have the drum of my heartbeat, bass and guitar leads
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on, red like a Crayon
I can't walk away

You have the drum of my heartbeat, bass and guitar leads
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on, red like a Crayon
I can't walk away

You have the drum of my heartbeat, bass and guitar lead
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on, red like a Crayon
I can't walk away

Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing
Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing

Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing
Before you, my whole life was acapella
Now our symphony's the only song to sing

    This is one song I could listen to over and over. I love every beat. It sounds as if this was acapella and David Guetta came and added his phenomenal beats to create this extraordinary song.
