José González Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One night to speed up truth
We had our promise paid
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
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 hues
The colors red and blue
We had a promise paid
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't 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 of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
The lyrics to José González's song Heartbeats paint a vivid picture of a passionate and intense night between two people. The first few lines set the scene for confusion and the desire for truth. The following lines describe a promise that was made and kept- perhaps a promise to enjoy the night of being under the influence together. The line "mind is a razorblade" suggests that their thoughts were sharp, frenzied, and intense.
The chorus then follows, conveying the notion of wanting a higher power to lean on, but not finding it sufficient. The subsequent verse describes "one night of magic rush," reminiscent of heady imbibing of love and passion. The feelings during that night are captured in the line "One night to push and scream, and then relief." Afterward, the song paints the aftermath of the night, indicating that those ten days were perfect- symbolized by the colors red and blue, suggesting that those moments were passionate and serene.
In the final verse, the lyrics describe the satisfaction of the promise made by two people in love. As the song comes to a close, we get a sense of the many different heartbeats and experiences people have, all shared in a single night.

This song meant a lot to my husband who was dying with cancer back in 2017. The words struck a cord with him. It's really beautiful. Still listening in 2024 😢
