about

Heartbeat is one of those songs that will pull at your heartstrings. It was written at a time when I realized this love I had felt was slowly fading away out of my grasp. What once seemed so real and profound was now a memory drifting away. It's the power ballad on the album that will definitely leave an impression.

Music and Lyrics by Heidi Burson and Emily Shackelton

lyrics

Can't catch my breath, cheeks turning red, like I'm in a full sprint while you take...your...time. We've been hand in hand since the day we met. When did you fall behind? This ain't no ticking clock. There's no turning it off.

This is my heartbeat beating for you. Baby save me cause I'm going all kinds of crazy waiting for you to catch up to me. Me and my heartbeat.

Sharing all your fears, falling on deaf ears cause all that I hear is your heartbeat in sync with mine. Baby you're the one who went and called it love so why am I the one alone at the finish line. Actions speak louder than words. I guess it's your turn.

This is my heartbeat beating for you. Baby save me cause I'm going all kinds of crazy waiting for you to catch up to me. Me and my heartbeat.

I'm breaking under the weight of the waiting. I'm sinking like a stone. We're losing traction and my gut reaction is reaching and holding you close. So lay your head on my chest and listen to my...

Heartbeat. Don't make it more complicated than it has to be. It's only the center of everything.

This is my heartbeat beating for you. Baby save me cause I'm going all kinds of crazy waiting for you to catch up to me. Me and my heartbeat.
