#Heartbeat #Pop #Ballad

3rd song for the Valentine's Day batch, and the 2nd of my old material that I'm finally finding a place for. This song was written and recorded for Valentine's Day 2023, three years ago. I was peak insomniac at this point, and I wanted to give my partner something that she deserved, so it resulted in another mopey, bittersweet love song! As per usual. But I sleep better these days.

Verse 1: I'm pessimistic to a terrible fault, And that's all I ever feel I can be. I'll try to drop it in a moment. I'll get it dealt with when the show ends.

Pushing all my problems aside, Candlelight riding waves along the cracks in the walls. I hear you breathing in the darkness. You're such a heaven for the heartless.

Pre-Chorus 1: So many sleepless nights Wasted away, Twist and turn me into Reasonable shapes.

Even though I'll just be staring As the ceiling again, It feels better when you're Next to me, babe.

Chorus: Just like when I can feel Your heartbeat, That perfect rhythm Right beside me.

I'll always be there In the morning, Cuz the day is better When you're glowing.

And honey, I can feel Your body. I know it like you really Know me.

You make it really hard To focus, So I hope we're dancing When the world ends.

Verse 2: There was a time when I would do this alone, And I don't condone it for the loneliness burns. I've got misery running up and down my conscience And a mind that's gently fading into nonsense.

All this to say that I'm so lucky for you And all you do to keep me from losing my mind. I'm singing harmonies you taught me in my daydreams. I've got a list that never ends of how you've saved me.

Pre-Chorus 2: Running up, down all around The city again, I'll be yours and you will Always be mine.

So much better than the times Where we pretended to be So much lesser than Partners in crime.

Yeah girl, when I can feel Your heartbeat, That perfect rhythm Right beside me.

I'll always be there In the morning, Cuz the day is better When you're glowing.

And honey, I can feel Your body. I know it like you really Know me.

You make it really hard To focus, So I hope we're dancing When the world ends.

Bridge: All of my thoughts racing forth and back, I'll tell you now. I'll tell you now.

You make me honest and you make me laugh Til my lungs give out. My lungs give out.

All of the parts of you that make you feel weak Are hand-me-downs. They're h and-me-downs.

But the parts of you that are so perfect to me Are safe and sound When I can feel your Heartbeat. When I can feel your Heartbeat.
