Heartbeat Song - Kelly Clarkson

by Matthew Whalen

The Experience: Until tonight I only dreamed about you. I can't believe I'll ever breathe without you. You make me feel alive and brand new.  There's nothing like love to get us back on our feet and find direction again in our lives: the hope that we could actually be headed somewhere...

Music video: Still waiting. 

The Meaning of Heartbeat Song: Heartbeat song burts forth in a happy hopeful melody that's excited about love again. The heart's throbbing with expectations and emotions, and hopes are up. But what guarantee do we have that they won't be let down? Ironically Kelly writes this song now a married women with a daughter of her own and two step-children. Love takes commitment on both sides of the spectrum. That's the only ingredient that can assure this song will be going not just all night long, but all life long. 
  
Ask yourself: To what melody does my heart beat? To fast and fleeting flirting, or to seeking a long and lasting relationship?

LYRICS:

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night long

Oh up up all night long 

You, where the hell did you come from? 

You were a different, different kind of fun 

And I'm so used to feeling numb 

Now, I got pins and needles on my tongue 

Anticipating what's to come 

Like a finger on a loaded gun 

I can feel it rising 

Temperature inside me 

Haven't felt it for a long time 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Turn it on 

But I know you can take it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

I, I wasn't even gonna go out 

But I never would have had a doubt 

If I'd have known where I'd be now 

Your hands on my hips 

And my kiss on your lips 

And I could do this for a long time 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Turn it on 

But I know you can take it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

Until tonight I only dreamed about you 

I can't believe I'll ever breathe without you 

Baby you make me feel alive and brand new 

Bring it one more time, one more time 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Turn it on 

But I know you can take it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long 

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it 

Turn it on 

But I know you can take it up up up up all night 

Oh up up all night long
