Beating Hearts
Lyrics
I never chose to go away
I never wrote you a letter saying goodbye,
But I know that we weren’t connected
Trying to salvage a body of lies
And even though we drifted apart
The memory of our swift-beating hearts
A never-doused, unkillable spark still remains
Come speak to me
Shake the whole world so I can remember
I want to burn bright again
And blaze where there’s now just an ember
I got older and wiser while you were away
Still I mess up or see things like a child
But I’ll make an oath to you today
To stay true to all which I have inspired
And even though we drifted apart
The memory of our swift-beating hearts
A never-doused, unkillable spark still remains
Come speak to me
Shake the whole world so I can remember
I want to burn bright again
And blaze where there’s now just an ember
The Story
One of the first songs written as a band, Beating Hearts is about what it's like to want to make amends after clashing with someone you truly care for.
