In a Heartbeat
Digger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last five years seem like they lasted so, so long.
Is this hopeless, just fate, I guess, now you're gone.
Is there a better way, to say goodbye, than in a song?

If you would ask me just on question,
Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat.
In a perfect world time heals woulds,
Cut down to the tissue. Is this fortune, or fortuitous?

I am without you.
And time goes by so slowly,
I feel like I'm stuck here and I'm all by myself, I'm so lonely,




I want to be somewhere else.
Not here, not where my heart beats.
