Heartbeat
Heard it in my heartbeat
Pounding in my head in the blue-black night
Heartbeat
Hypnotize me
Stuck just like a song in my head
Before the first thought I ever have
Heartbeat
Blue skies
Heard it in your blue skies
Singing in the air in the morning light
Blue skies
Mesmerize me
Laughing like a clock on the wall
Before the first song I ever heard
Blue skies
Radio
Hear it on the radio
Playing in the car with the windows down
Radio
Electrifies me
Louder than the Liberty Bell
Before the first word I ever said
Radio
Put the record on blow the speaker up
Tear the dial off, push the pedal down
99 on the 101
Flip it over come on sing along
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love
We oughta head home, we're gonna turn around
Turn up the radio, get lost inside the sound
If they're playing all our favorite songs
Then we're driving all night long
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love
Gonna stay awake another thousand years
You better buckle up in your electric chair
Shock my nerves send lightning to my brain
Light me up and let me live again
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love with your music
(So in love)
So in love
So in love with your music
So in love with your music
So in love with your music
So in love
We were driving in my mother's car
Chicago-Minnesota overnight
Over the frozen overpass over black ice
Before and after what if it had never happened
Before and after no way to know what's gonna happen
Cop shades up hiding my eyes in La Crosse for seven nights
Out of touch and out of sight, broken wing and a fractured mind
Before and after what if it had never happened
Before and after no way to know what's gonna happen
Still seems strange water wine and X-Rays
White pills for pain and faces change in days
I saw you from above, upside down
There in the corner, of our hotel room
The door was open, 432
Walked out on a spine a year later with you got lost
In the Badlands took a picture or two
Now I wish you were here to share the view but you're gone
Before and after what if it had never happened
Before and after no way to know what's gonna happen
Still seems strange water wine and X-Rays
White pills for pain and faces change in days
I saw you from above, upside down
There in the corner, of our hotel room
The door was open, 432
Wrote you 19 messages and I can see you didn't read them so I'll say it again
Got my phone in my hand and it's 3 AM gonna drive all night 'til the highway ends
I know you'll say I'm on the edge and if you're not so wrong can you lend a hand
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
Tangerine pink cassette tapes
And stacks of compact discs I saved
Laughing and pointing you narrow your eyes
Turning all my friends into your allies
Might have been born in a crossfire hurricane
But don't think twice it wasn't yesterday
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the
Wonder if I'm ever gonna see your call
But you already know I loved you all along
And it's all in the past and I can't forget
'Cause I still hear your voice echo in my head
At your parents' house on Leap Year Day
At the surprise party you planned for me
We're outside walking to your door
You're laughing in moonlight
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
If I could take back all the things I wish I never said
I wish I never felt the way I did the day you left
I was a stupid kid 20-something watching myself sing on the TV
No way to know that there's no way to know what to expect
Suddenly it's as if it's almost overnight success
Somehow lightning in a bottle ricochets lights a spark underground
And on the comer of Victorian & 21st
On Halloween I step outside and see you standing there
The light is shining smiling in your green eyes
Like starlight through diamonds
When I met you I was on my own
22 living alone
Wasted on the cover of a magazine
Singing from my heart sad love song
Stranger from the start what went wrong
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you I was lost forever
On an endless night, on an endless drive
I read your words about a thousand times
Saying things like, there's a lazy moon outside
Right now can you see it laying on its side?
I wake up way too early stay up way too late
Trying to picture your face
Please send a Polaroid get it that Saturday
Your yellow envelope I still have to this day
I was a sideways zig-zag upside down
Stuck tongue-tied crisscrossed X's
Where my eyes once were
And the light that was gone
Before I met you somehow came back on
When I met you I was on my own
22 living alone
Wasted on the cover of a magazine
Singing from my heart sad love song
Stranger from the start what went wrong
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you I was lost forever
Singing from my heart sad love song
Stranger from the start what went wrong
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you I was lost forever
When I met you I was on my own
22 living alone
Wasted on the cover of a magazine
Singing from my heart sad love song
Stranger from the start what went wrong
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you I was lost forever
Maybe someday I can show you
How much you mean to me
Even though I know you see
My smiling eyes begin to stream
A love wells up inside me almost too much to take
Sometimes I break down crying
That's how much you mean to me
You're the light in a heartbroken world
And I was a lost cause
Before you I almost forgot what the point was
In the end if it's all just a dream at least we're together
If I'm with you I could stay lost forever
And if I were barely breathing
I'd still confess my love
Even when I see you clearly hope
I catch on quick and stop
If my zipped lips were sewn shut
Collar up I'd keep it cool
The light in my heart beaming
Shining brighter than the sun
You're the light in a heartbroken world
And I was a lost cause
Before you I almost forgot what the point was
In the end if it's all just a dream at least we're together
I'm with you I could stay lost forever
There was a time before this
Back when we were young
I still remember how
You brought me back to life again
I looked in your blue-green eyes
You're looking back at me
My heart explodes in sunlight
You mean everything to me
You're the light in a heartbroken world
And I was a lost cause
Before you I almost forgot what the point was
In the end if it's all just a dream at least we're together
I'm with you I could stay lost forever
I'm with you I could stay lost forever
I'm with you I could stay lost forever
I was just a Jersey kid
Born in a daydream
Blue skies
And a white gold sun
Down a long driveway
In an old white house
I remember my dad walk up
His eyes shining like clear blue streams
And when he smiled at me
I knew everything would be okay
Yeah somehow, (somehow) sometime (sometime)
I know it'll be alright
We are alive in the world
Back when you could see the Milky Way
In blue starlight, in an ocean sky
I could've laid there for a thousand years
Connecting dots in a ring of fire
Drawing circles that hang in the air
Like fireworks and diamond stars
In her mother's arms
Her sapphire eyes
Was all the love I'd ever need
Yeah somehow, (somehow) sometime (sometime)
I know it'll be alright
We are alive in the world
Yeah somehow, (somehow) sometime (sometime)
I know it'll be alright
We are alive in the world
Alive in the world
