Heartbeat Lyrics

I love it when we're at a party
In a downtown crowd, oh
But I can hear you call me baby
With the music up loud

Red wine, good times
No, I don't mind
Being with everyone else
And then there's nights like
Tonight that I
I want you to myself

And tonight I wanna drive so far
We'll only find static on the radio, oh
And we can't see those city lights
And I love the way you look in a firefly glow

Saying everything without making a sound
A cricket choir in the background
Underneath a harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet
Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

Oh, and we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

I wanna feel it like a kick drum
Beating faster in your chest
I wanna feel you holding on to me
And make me hold my breath

You pull me closer
My head on your shoulder
Baby, we won't need a song
We'll make a falling star wish
One more slow kiss
What are we waiting on?

And tonight I wanna drive so far
We'll only find static on the radio, oh
And we can't see those city lights
And I love the way you look in a firefly glow

Saying everything without making a sound
A cricket choir in the background
Underneath a harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet
Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

Yeah, we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

I wanna feel it like a kick drum
Beating faster in your chest

And tonight I wanna drive so far
We'll only find static on the radio, oh
And we can't see those city lights
And I love the way you look in a firefly glow

Saying everything without making a sound
With a river rolling in the background
Underneath a harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet
Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

And we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat, oh

Cover art for Heartbeat lyrics by Carrie Underwood

This song is, in essence, what would happen if Luke Bryan had killer pipes and a basic grasp on the English language. Carrie doesn't like love songs, but she picked this one because A) it's an introverted kind of love (running away and just being one with the person) and she and Mike are introverts and B) it's conversational and she finds the conversational aspect more sincere than just singing about love in general. Nice little R&B fusion in the verses.
