[Part I: "Heartbeat"]
[Verse]
Heartbeat, heard it in my heartbeat
Pounding in my head in the blue-black night
Heartbeat, hypnotize me
Stuck just like a song in my head
Before the first thought I ever have
Heartbeat, blue skies
Heard it in your blue skies
Singing in the air in the morning light
Blue skies mesmerize me
Laughing like a clock on the wall
Before the first song I ever heard
Blue skies, radio
Hear it on the radio
Playing in the car with the windows down
Radio electrifies me
Louder than the Liberty Bell
Before the first word I ever said
Radio
[Part II: "So in Love"]
[Verse 1]
Put the record on, blow the speaker up
Tear the dial off, push the pedal down
Ninety-nine on the one-oh-one
Flip it over, come on, sing along
[Chorus]
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love
[Verse 2]
We oughtta head home, we're gonna turn around
Turn up the radio, get lost inside the sound
If they're playing all our favorite songs
Then we're driving all night long
[Chorus]
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love
[Verse 3]
Gonna stay awake another thousand years
You better buckle up in your electric chair
Shock my nerves, send lightning to my brain
Light me up and live again
[Chorus]
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love with your music (so in love)
So in love
[Outro]
So in love with your music
So in love with your music
So in love with your music
So in love
[Part III: "432"]
[Verse 1]
We were driving in my mother's car
Chicago-Minnesota overnight
Over the frozen overpass over black ice
[Pre-Chorus]
Before and after
What if it had never happened?
Before and after
No way to know what's gonna happen
[Verse 2]
Cop shades up, hiding my eyes
In La Crosse for seven nights
Out of touch and out of sight
Broken wing and fractured mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Before and after
What if it had never happened?
Before and after
No way to know what's gonna happen
[Chorus]
Still seems strange, water, wine, and X-rays
White pills for pain and faces change in days
I saw you from above, upside down
There in the corner of our hotel room
The door was open, 432
[Bridge]
Walked out on a spine three years later with you
Got lost in the Badlands, took a picture or two
Now I wish you were here to share the view
But you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Before and after
What if it had never happened?
Before and after
No way to know what's gonna happen
[Chorus]
Still seems strange, water, wine, and X-rays
White pills for pain and faces change in days
I saw you from above, upside down
There in the corner in our hotel room
The door was open, 432
[Part IV: "Tangerine"]
[Verse 1]
Wrote you nineteen messages
And I can see you didn't read them
So I'll say it again
Got my phone in my hand and it's 3 AM
Gonna drive all night 'til the highway ends
I know you'll say I'm on the edge
And if you're not so wrong
Could you lend a hand?
[Refrain]
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
[Verse 2]
Tangerine pink cassette tapes
And stacks of compact discs I saved
Laughing and pointing, you narrow your eyes
Turning all of my friends into your allies
Might have been born in a crossfire hurricane
But don't think twice, it wasn't yesterday
[Refrain]
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the
[Verse 3]
Wonder if I'm ever gonna see your call
But you already know I loved you all along
And it's all in the past and I can't forget
'Cause I still hear your voice echo in my head
At your parents' house on Leap Year Day
At the surprise party you planned for me
We're outside walking to your door
You're laughing in moonlight
[Refrain]
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Please pick up the phone
[Part V: "Victorian & 21st"]
[Verse 1]
If I could take back all the things I wish I never said
I wish I never felt the way I did the day you left
I was a stupid kid, twenty-something
Watching myself sing on TV
No way to know that there's
No way to know what to expect
Suddenly it's as if it's almost overnight success
Somehow lightning in a bottle ricochets
Lights a spark underground
[Pre-Chorus]
And on the corner of Victorian & 21st
On Halloween, I step outside and see you standing
There the light is shining, smiling in your green eyes
Like starlight through diamonds
[Chorus]
When I met you, I was on my own
Twenty-two, living alone
Wasted on the cover of a magazine
Singing from my heart, sad love song
Stranger from the start, what went wrong?
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you, I was lost forever
[Verse 2]
On an endless night, on an endless drive
I read your words about a thousand times
Saying things like there's a lazy moon outside
Right now, can you see it laying on its side?
I wake up way too early, stay up way too late
Trying to picture your face
Please send a polaroid, get it that Saturday
Your yellow envelope I still have to this day
[Pre-Chorus]
I was a sideways zig-zag, upside down
Stuck tongue-tied, crisscrossed X's
Where my eyes once were and the light that was gone
Before I met you, somehow came back on
[Chorus]
When I met you, I was on my own
Twenty-two, living alone
Wasted on the cover of a magazine
Singing from my heart, sad love song
Stranger from the start, what went wrong?
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you, I was lost forever
[Chorus]
Singing from my heart, sad love song
Stranger from the start, what went wrong?
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you, I was lost forever
[Chorus]
When I met you, I was on my own
Twenty-two, living alone
Wasted on the cover of a magazine
Singing from my heart, sad love song
Stranger from the start, what went wrong?
And then there you are and it's getting better
Without you, I was lost forever
[Outro]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
[Part VI: "Angel"]
[Verse 1]
Maybe someday I can show you
How much you mean to me
Even though I know you see
My smiling eyes begin to stream
A love wells up inside me
Almost too much to take
Sometimes I break down crying
That's how much you mean to me
[Chorus]
You're the light in a heartbroken world
And I was a lost cause
Before you, I almost forgot
What the point was
In the end, if it's all just a dream
At least we're together
If I'm with you, I could stay lost forever
[Verse 2]
And if I were barely breathing
I'd still confess my love
Even when I see you clearly hope
I catch on quick and stop
If my zipped lips were sewn shut
Collar up, I'd keep it cool
The light in my heart beaming
Shining brighter than the sun
[Chorus]
You're the light in a heartbroken world
And I was a lost cause
Before you, I almost forgot
What the point was
In the end, if it's all just a dream
At least we're together
If I'm with you, I could stay lost forever
[Verse 3]
There was a time before this
Back when we were young
I still remember how
You brought me back to life again
I looked in your blue-green eyes
You're looking back at me
My heart explodes in sunlight
You mean everything to me
[Chorus]
You're the light in a heartbroken world
And I was a lost cause
Before you, I almost forgot
What the point was
In the end, if it's all just a dream
At least we're together
If I'm with you, I could stay lost forever
[Outro]
If I'm with you, I could stay lost forever
If I'm with you, I could stay lost forever
[Part VII: "Jersey Kid"]
[Verse 1]
I was just a Jersey kid born in a daydream
Blue skies and a white gold sun down a long driveway
In an old white house, I remember my dad walk up
His eyes shining like clear blue streams
And when he smiled at me
I knew everything would be okay
[Refrain]
Well, somehow (somehow), sometime (sometime)
I know it'll be all right, we are alive in the world
[Verse 2]
Back when you could see the Milky Way
In blue starlight, in an ocean sky
I could've laid there for a thousand years
Connecting dots in a ring of fire
Drawing circles that hang in the air
Like fireworks and diamond stars
In her mother's arms, her sapphire eyes
Was all the love I'd ever need
[Refrain]
Well, somehow (somehow), sometime (sometime)
I know it'll be all right, we are alive in the world
[Refrain]
Yeah, somehow (somehow), sometime (sometime)
I know it'll be all right, we are alive in the world
Alive in the world
