Stereo Hearts
Gym Class Heroes Feat. Levine Adam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like it read well, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo, let's go
If I was an old-school, fifty pound boom box
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops
And crank it higher every time they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mix tape your friends make
You never know we come and go like we're on the interstate
I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo, let's go
I only pray you never leave me behind (Never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (So hard to find)
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo
The song "Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine is a love song written in the form of a metaphor. The singer compares his heart to a stereo, emphasizing that it beats solely for the person he loves.

The singer also asks his lover to turn up the volume on the stereo, asking her to sing along with him.
Throughout the song, the singer uses different examples to emphasize how important his lover is to him. He compares himself to an old dusty record and asks if she would treat him like everybody else, or if she would appreciate the unique qualities that he has to offer. He also compares himself to an old-school boombox and asks if she would turn up the volume in front of the cops despite their objections. All of these examples represent how the singer wants his lover to always choose him and listen closely to what he has to say or sing.
The chorus repeats the metaphor of his heart being a stereo and the importance of his lover listening closely to his melody. The song finishes off with the singer admitting that his love has changed his mind and that he prays she never leaves him, because good music is hard to find.
