Heartbeat

Still from "Three Meters Above the Sky"

I cannot fly but with you I am floating so high

I only like when I win but to you I’d lose all the time

And even if I would have to lose the right to be me

I don’t like to repeat, repeat how you set me free.

 The pulse is speeding up now, the trigger’s here in my hand 

And in the blink of an eye your kiss shoots straight through my head,

   And I am losing my mind for just a couple of hours

I fly and go crushing back into reality’s boundaries

And I have lost your heartbeat, and let time run though its sands

I fall asleep in your arms and let the clock stop its hands.

And I’m not ready to promise, and I’m not sure what to do,

And I’m afraid to admit that I’m afraid to lose you.

Maybe we shouldn’t repeat the words that everyone used

We can jump start the heartbeat and learn to fly if we choose.
