its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me
This is what I need please
Sing us a song
And we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you
I am nothing now
And its been so long
Since I've heard a sound
The sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening
Sing us a song
And we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you, oooh
(Yeah) this heart, it beats
Beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you
My heart is yours (my heart beats for you)
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats (please don't go now)
Beats for only you (please don't go away)
My heart, my heart is yours (please don't go now, please don't go away)
(Please don't go now)
(Please don't fade away) my heart is yours
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away)
My heart is yours (please don't go, please don't fade away)
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) my heart is
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me
This is what I need please
Sing us a song
And we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you
I am nothing now
And its been so long
Since I've heard a sound
The sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening
Sing us a song
And we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you, oooh
(Yeah) this heart, it beats
Beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you
My heart is yours (my heart beats for you)
This heart, it beats
Beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats (please don't go now)
Beats for only you (please don't go away)
My heart, my heart is yours (please don't go now, please don't go away)
(Please don't go now)
(Please don't fade away) my heart is yours
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away)
My heart is yours (please don't go, please don't fade away)
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) my heart is

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
at first i thought it was about a guy....
then i kept singing it and singing it and i sang tha part that goes "the sound of my only hope"
and now i think this song is about God. i dont know, but it just fits for a praise song...
"this heart it beats beats for only you" "i am nothing now" "this time i will be listening" "sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you" "what would it be without you" "i can't do this alone"
oh yeah, and some of the lyrics there are wrong and missing some words.
This is not about god. Hayley is not that stupid. Paramore is not religious. I'm sorry, but I hate religious bands, and if this is about God, I will not listen to it. God is a fairytale, just like Greek mythology and ancient egyptian scripture. Modern people are stupid not to realize that. Just live like a good person and you will get what is coming to you, and if you die, you will see what happens next.
I think it is extremely ignorant of you to call people who believe in a God or religion 'stupid'. I'm not religious - actually, I think of myself as an agnostic - but I still respect everyone else's right to believe. In fact, the members of Paramore are religious, but so what? Why should you judge people based on their religion? It's people like you who are stupid.
I don't think it's about God either,and the one screaming was actually one of the brothers on the band...and ILoveParamor96 good for you, respecting everyones rights. But at the same time don't expect everyone to be as respectful as you.
Its funny you should mention that Alisyn because this song IS about god, Hayley was interviewed by a magazine and her response was it was a praise song<br /> paramore is my favourite band despite wether they are christian or not<br /> And if you actualy listen to the song when they play it in their Final Riot<br /> tour in Chicago, during the outro of the song hayley says "my heart its you... jesus"<br /> I fully respect your opinion and thats what i love about music, everyone has some sort of connection to it, and its a universal language
alisyn, as IloveParamore96 you are being very ignorant. Paramore are very, VERY religous if you read some of their interveiws or listened to their interveiw from the radio 1 big weekend you will find they are quite religous. And you shouldn't dislike a band just because of their reigion or if they are or not religous...
I was just gonnna post the same thing, because i thought i was alone on this opinion but i definitely agree :D
This song is too powerful to be just about a boy and a girl kind of love. The most powerful love is between god and human i think, so i feel it was meant to express that. It's beautiful either way, songs weren't meant for you to be told what you believe. You can take whatever you want of it,, and no matter what it remains inspiring.
