HeatWave
Dave Cloud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heat wave
Heat wave

Whenever I'm with you
Something inside
Starts to burn deep
And my heart's filled with fire
Could be that I'm very sentimental
Or is this just the way love's supposed to be?

I got a heat wave
Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart

Sometimes she calls my name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain
I feel, yeah I feel
I feel this burning flame
This high blood pressure's got a hold on me
'Cause this is the way love's supposed to be

I got a heat wave
Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Just give me another chance
This could be a new romance

Heat wave
Heat wave

Overall Meaning

In Dave Cloud's song "Heatwave," the lyrics express the overwhelming intensity and passion that the singer experiences whenever they are with their loved one. The opening lines, "Whenever I'm with you, something inside starts to burn deep, and my heart's filled with fire," suggest that being in the presence of this person ignites a strong emotional response within the singer. They question whether this intense feeling is a result of their own sentimentality or if it simply signifies the natural power of love.


The chorus of the song, "I got a heat wave burning in my heart, I can't keep from crying, tearing me apart," further emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the singer's emotions. The heatwave metaphor illustrates the intense and almost uncontrollable nature of their feelings, which manifest as tears and a sense of being torn apart.


The second verse mentions how the person occasionally calls the singer's name, causing even more confusion and intense emotion. The burning flame they feel could be seen as a metaphor for desire and longing. The mention of high blood pressure suggests that the singer is aware that their intense feelings are not necessarily healthy, but they believe that this intensity is how love is meant to be experienced.
