heartbeat on my sleeve - operatic zither lyrics

Loading...

lyrics:
(intro — soft run)

mmm… (ooh)

you walk in and the room turns a hymn, yeah

(verse 1)

my knees go light, my words go thin

like sunday morning but i ain’t got a hymn

your laughter folds like velvet over me

and somewhere in my chest a choir agrees

i catch my breath every time you breathe

got my name on repeat, on an endless reel

i wanna say h*llo but my tongue’s turned to gold

i’m rich with feeling, poor at being bold

(pre*chorus)

praying quiet prayers that you might feel the same

wearing hope like a ribbon, calling out your name

every heartbeat a drum, еvery glance a plea

i’m standing on a promisе of what you might see

(chorus — full, powerful)

got my heartbeat on my sleeve, baby, can’t you see?

i’m a thousand little prayers when you walk by me

hands trembling, knees weak, oh, i believe

i’m singing hallelujah to the thought of you with me

got my heartbeat on my sleeve, won’t you stay awhile?

turn these b*tterflies into one fearless smile

(verse 2 — intimate)

your shadow paints the sidewalk, i follow like a tune

streetlamps turn to spotlight when i’m under your moon

i rehe*rs* a thousand lines that never make the stage

hidden in the margins, inked on every page

my laugh’s a little louder when you’re in the room

my silence is a secret that secretly blooms

i’m nervous like the morning, waiting on the light

longing like the hymn that wakes the quiet night

(pre*chorus)

if longing had a language i’d whisper through the leaves

if courage had a heartbeat it would knock you off your feet
every prayer i hold for you is honest and it’s new

i’m standing on that altar, hoping you come through

(chorus — lifted)

got my heartbeat on my sleeve, baby, can’t you see?

i’m a thousand little prayers when you walk by me

hands trembling, knees weak, oh i believe

i’m singing hallelujah to the thought of you with me

got my heartbeat on my sleeve, won’t you stay awhile?

turn these b*tterflies into one fearless smile

(bridge — raw, gospel run)

ooh, when you look my way i’m shaking like a reed

need you to notice what you planted like a seed

stay a while, speak my name like a secret coming true

let the choir of the quiet rise up and sing to you

(yes, yes — ahhhh)

i’ll lay down my doubt, i’ll lift up my plea

if you take this tremor, baby, take it tenderly

(breakdown — intimate whisper)

all i want is a h*llo that turns into forever

a little hand to hold in any kind of weather

if i could stitch a hope and pin it to the sky

i’d write your name in constellations, watch it shine

(final chorus — big, cathartic)

got my heartbeat on my sleeve, baby, can’t you see?

i’m a thousand little prayers when you walk by me

hands trembling, knees weak, oh i believe

i’m singing hallelujah to the thought of you with me

got my heartbeat on my sleeve, stay and stay awhile

turn these b*tterflies into one fearless smile

(outro — tender)

mmm, heartbeat on my sleeve (ooh)

if you stay, i’ll give you every beat (yeah)

hallelujah for the way you move me… (ah)
