Lyrics
Heart Explodes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm standing on a cliff top and I'm looking out to sea
The sirens of the Netherlands are beckoning me
I'm trying to write a ballad that makes you wanna stay
They're easy to come up with but they're difficult to play
Cause I know what I'm supposed to do but I don't know if I can
Sell the world a story 'bout a woman and a man
Who meet at the beginning, together they belong
And it feels like they are winning, 'til everything goes wrong
Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
I'm standing in the weather and I can't open the door
Then suddenly it hits me this isn't my house anymore
I knew you wouldn't listen, so I've given you carte blanche
To build a clown asylum on the Neverland ranch
I can't believe it's over I can't believe I'm free
To sleep with anybody who wants to sleep with me
I never wrote that ballad, there isn't such a song
I tried to make you happy and then everything went wrong
Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
Free to love again
Like the love you never showed
Free to love again
Love 'til our hearts explode
'Til my heart explodes
Heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
