Heart Attack
Hometown Losers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had a heart attack when you crossed my eyes and
Now I'm struggling to stay alive
Yeah, you take my breath away
And I'd like it if you'd stay
A little longer
Before I just faint
Weak to my own knees
I have this feeling in my stomach
Every time we speak
And all I ever want to do is
Sweep you off your two feet but
I just get so nervous
It's like I forget to
Call an ambulance cause I
Had a heart attack when you crossed my eyes and
Now I'm struggling to stay alive
Yeah, you take my breath away
And I'd like it if you'd stay
A little longer
Before I just faint
I'm a restless mess
When you leave me in suspense
With my heart beating
Outside of my chest
Stat, someone grab a defibrillator
To shock me back to life
Rush me to a ventilator
And maybe one day I'll catch you later
I won't make any more promises
When I can't save myself
Call an ambulance cause I
Had a heart attack when you crossed my eyes and
Now I'm struggling to stay alive
Yeah, you take my breath away
And I'd like it if you'd stay
A little longer
A little longer
Yeah, you take my breath away
And I'd like it if you'd stay
Yeah, I'd like it if you stay
Yeah, you take my breath away
And I'd like it if you'd stay
Yeah, I'd like it if you stay

Somebody call an ambulance cause I
I am overwhelmed and in distress, needing urgent help
Had a heart attack when you crossed my eyes and
Experiencing intense shock and excitement upon making eye contact with you
Now I'm struggling to stay alive
I am finding it difficult to cope and maintain my emotional stability
Yeah, you take my breath away
You have a captivating effect on me
And I'd like it if you'd stay
I desire your presence and companionship
A little longer
For a slightly extended period of time
Before I just faint
Before I become overwhelmed and lose consciousness
Weak to my own knees
You render me vulnerable and physically unstable
Whenever our eyes meet
Each time our gazes connect
I have this feeling in my stomach
I experience a strong sensation or butterflies in my abdomen
Every time we speak
Whenever we engage in conversation
And all I ever want to do is
My sole desire is to
Sweep you off your two feet but
Impress and enchant you completely but
I just get so nervous
I become anxious and uneasy
It's like I forget to
I seem to unintentionally neglect to
Call an ambulance cause I
Summon medical assistance because I
Had a heart attack when you crossed my eyes and
Experienced an overwhelming surge of emotions when our eyes met
Now I'm struggling to stay alive
Now I am encountering difficulties in maintaining emotional stability
I'm a restless mess
I am filled with anxiety and unease
When you leave me in suspense
When you leave me uncertain and anxious
With my heart beating
While my heart is pounding
Outside of my chest
Outside the confines of my ribcage
Stat, someone grab a defibrillator
Urgently, someone retrieve an electrical medical device used in resuscitation
To shock me back to life
To administer an electric shock and revive me
Rush me to a ventilator
Hurry me to a machine that aids my breathing
And maybe one day I'll catch you later
And perhaps in the future, I will have the opportunity to see you again
I won't make any more promises
I will refrain from making further commitments
When I can't save myself
When I am unable to rescue or protect myself
Call an ambulance cause I
Request medical assistance as I
Had a heart attack when you crossed my eyes and
Experienced an overwhelming surge of emotions when our eyes met
Now I'm struggling to stay alive
Now I am encountering difficulties in maintaining emotional stability
Yeah, you take my breath away
You leave me breathless and awe-struck
And I'd like it if you'd stay
I desire your presence and companionship
A little longer
For a slightly extended period of time
A little longer
A bit more time
Yeah, you take my breath away
You have a captivating effect on me
And I'd like it if you'd stay
I desire your presence and companionship
Yeah, I'd like it if you stay
Yes, I would appreciate if you remain
