Heartbeats
Josе Gonzаlez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands from above to lean on
Would that be good enough for me?
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands from above to lean on
Would that be good enough for me?
To call for hands from above to lean on
Would that be good enough?
And you
You knew the hand of the devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
To call for hands from above to lean on
Would that be good enough for me now?
To call for hands from above to lean on
Would that be good enough?
The lyrics of José González's "Heartbeats" tell a story of a one-night stand that quickly becomes full of emotion and intensity. The first verse describes the confusion and truth that surfaces between the two individuals under the influence of some sort of substance. Their shared scent leads them to a deep understanding of one another's thoughts and feelings, yet the mind is likened to a razor blade, implying that something about their connection is potentially dangerous.
The second verse brings in elements of magic and relief, describing ten days of perfection and the strong bond that was formed through their love. However, the question still remains - will calling for hands from above to lean on be good enough for them?
The final verse references the "hand of the devil" and the wolves' teeth that kept them awake, indicating that there is potentially some darker force at play in their relationship. The final repetition of the question about calling for hands from above to lean on implies that the answer is uncertain, and the outcome of the relationship unknown.

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
And you, you knew the hand of a devil
And you, kept us awake with wolves' teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you, you…

my dad used to play this in the car when I was small, and we used to jam out to it together and shout the lyrics. I’m 18 now, and I listen to this song all the time. Miss you Dad.
