Heartbeat Lyrics

Nashville is burning tonight
You turn me bright round, baby like a forty-five
And I'm feeling every song that this town could write
With the fire in my head
And the tremble in my chest
Just take one look in my eyes and they will confess
That you got me feeling so high
And you are the rhythm of my life

I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
Beating right next to me
That keep, keep, keep
I be feeling like I believe
All the things, baby, that we could be
I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
Beating right next to me
Beating right next to me
Beating right next to me

I feel your heart beat
I feel your heart beat
I feel your heart beat
Heart beat, your heart beat

Ain't bringing you no games
Ain't leaning on no cliche
If you sharing my bed, babe
Then you share my name
'Cause you got me feeling so high
Oh baby, you are the rhythm of my life

Nashville is burning tonight
 You turn me bright round, baby like a forty-five
 And I'm feeling every song that this town could write
 With the fire in my head
 And the tremble in my chest
 Just take one look in my eyes and they will confess
 That you got me feeling so high
 And you are the rhythm of my life

I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
 Beating right next to me
 That keep, keep, keep
 I be feeling like I believe
 All the things, baby, that we could be
 I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
 Beating right next to me
 Beating right next to me
 Beating right next to me

I feel your heart beat
 I feel your heart beat
 I feel your heart beat
 Heart beat, your heart beat

Ain't bringing you no games
 Ain't leaning on no cliche
 If you sharing my bed, babe
 Then you share my name
 'Cause you got me feeling so high
 Oh baby, you are the rhythm of my life

I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
 Beating right next to me
 That keep, keep, keep
 I be feeling like I believe
 All the things, baby, that we could be
 I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
 Beating right next to me
 Beating right next to me
 Beating right next to me

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.

For the first video off Mat Kearney's upcoming forth studio album, Just Kids, the singer/songwriter says he was obsessed with the idea of making it with drone technology. So he shot the entire "Heartbeat" clip in the Los Angeles River bed in just a single take, he says, "with this crazy helicopter drone flying around our heads." Shooting with a flying robot without any stops wasn't the only bit of risky behavior necessary to pull off the shoot. Set at the busy 4th Street Bridge in Los Angeles, famous for films like Grease, Transformers, Terminator 2 and Anchorman, Kearney had to avoid live traffic and manage rushing in a car from the top of the bridge to the bottom in only a few minutes. (There were several takes where he didn't make it in time.)
