They create upbeat music with gloomy undertones fused with husky, grated vocals. The mixture leads to music that is "love at first listen", perfect for those drab Sundays where you sit and look out the window and watch the world go by slowly. They released I'm Happy Now EP in 2008, and in April 2010 their self-titled album Palpitation was released on Luxury Records. Their latest album, I'm Absent, You're Faraway was released in June 2011.

Can I blame you
Palpitation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What can I do when my thoughts when I'm around
You say you assume me
Wonder how I feel about
Wonder how I think about
Maybe I'll go away
Maybe I'll go your way
To my world, to your world
I'ma a feel left out when you feel left out
Is it you, is it me
I'ma do it by entering your world
I know how to act, I know how to feel
Around you, about you, how do you feel?
Can I wake up next to you?
Will you wake up next to me?
Tomorrow, forever and ever
I don't know
Will you stay right here?
Will you go away?
I feel lost, I feel safe
I don't know where to belong
To you, to me
To my world, to your world
I'ma a feel left out when you feel left out
Is it you, is it me
I'ma do it by entering your world
I know how to act, I know how to feel
Around you, about you, how do you feel?
Can I wake up next to you?
Will you wake up next to me?
Tomorrow, forever and ever
I don't know
Will you stay right here?
Will you go away?
I feel lost, I feel safe
I don't know where to belong
The lyrics to Palpitation's song "Can I blame you" reflect on the struggle of understanding one's thoughts and feelings in a relationship. The opening lines "What can I do, yeah/What can I do when my thoughts when I'm around" portray the confusion and disorientation one feels in trying to process emotions while in a relationship. The singer wonders how the other person assumes their feelings and what they think about them.
The chorus "Can I wake up next to you?/Will you wake up next to me?/Tomorrow, forever and ever/I don't know" shows the desire for a deeper connection and yearning for something more long-term but also the fear of not knowing if it will be reciprocated. The lyrics express the vulnerability of not knowing how the other person truly feels and questioning where they belong.
The bridge "To you, to me/To my world, to your world/I'ma feel left out when you feel left out/Is it you, is it me/I'ma do it by entering your world" portrays the struggle of fitting into someone else's life and understanding their perspective. The lyrics suggest that to truly connect with someone, you need to enter their world and try to understand their perspective on things.
Overall, "Can I blame you" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of struggling to understand one's emotions in a relationship and wanting a deeper connection with another person.
