Beating Hearts

[Verse 1]
We were kids in a borrowed car
Wrong turns on familiar roads
Street signs all blurred and bright
But we swore we were getting close
[Chorus]
Beating hearts
Out of time
Still we crash into the same old lines
Say you’re scared
So am I
But we keep on falling
Falling
Beating hearts
Too alive
To pretend we’re just passing by
Say my name
Stay the night
While our beating hearts keep lying
[Verse 2]
You talk brave with your shaking hands
Laugh hard like it proves you right
Every word’s just a sideways glance
Daring me to stay tonight
[Chorus]
Beating hearts
Out of time
Still we crash into the same old lines
Say you’re scared
So am I
But we keep on falling
Falling
Beating hearts
Too alive
To pretend we’re just passing by
Say my name
Stay the night
While our beating hearts keep lying
[Bridge]
You say “we’re a phase”
I say “maybe”
But your pulse runs loud
And it drowns me
If this fades by dawn
Let it break me
I would do it all again
[Chorus]
Beating hearts
Out of time
Still we crash into the same old lines
Say you’re scared
So am I
But we keep on falling
Falling
Beating hearts
Too alive
To pretend we’re just passing by
Say my name
Stay the night (oh)
While our beating hearts keep lying

rock, Indie rock meets new wave edge: shimmering chorus-soaked guitars over a tight, driving bassline and crisp live drums, male vocals with a slightly urgent, romantic rasp. Verses stay lean and rhythmic, bass forward; chorus explodes wide with layered octave guitars and airy backing “ohs.” Bridge strips to toms, bass, and vocal before a final, brighter chorus with extra guitar sparkle and a held-out vocal ad-lib., male vocals, indie rock, new wave
