Heartbeat Lyrics

You and I need to compromise
Need to give and take
Look at me don't you realize
I can tolerate
Whoever else may want you
Whatever turns you on
Nothing changes I can trust you
Just as long as
[[Chorus:]]
I can feel your heartbeat in my hand
And I can see tomorrow in your eyes
If we believe that love makes no demands
There'll be no time for jealousy and lies
Day and night we played with destiny
Played with no regrets
Never looked it in the eye
Never thought I could be
Bored to tears with sex
There's no sense pretending
The past is never ending
There is nothing in out world
We need to hide
[Chorus:]
There's no sense pretending
The past is never ending
There is nothing in out world
We need to hide
And I can feel your heartbeat in my hand
And I can see tomorrow in your eyes
If we believe that love makes no demands
There'll be no time for jealousy and lies
I can feel it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
