Heart
Kip Moore Lyrics

Nights falling on me like a big black coat
The night is enveloping the singer like a heavy, burdensome cloak.

Staring through the window at the empty cold
The singer is gazing out into the frigid night, feeling alone.

Thick white smoke rolling off my lips
The singer is exhaling visible vapor as he breathes out.

My chest feeling heavy like a cannon ball
The singer is experiencing a heavy, constricting sensation in his chest.

Got sweat rolling down me like a waterfall
The singer is sweating profusely, like a waterfall cascading.

'Cause I let love slip through my fingertips
The singer is feeling heartbroken and remorseful over the love he lost.

I'm a raging fire, you're my hearts desire
The singer's burning passion for his lost love is undying.

Slipping in and out of a restless sleep
The singer is struggling with insomnia, tossing and turning all night.

Thinking and wonderin' if you are thinking of me
The singer is preoccupied with thoughts of whether his ex-lover is still thinking about him.

Or are you long gone girl, holding another man
The singer fears that his ex-lover has moved on and found someone else.

The thought brings me right up to the brink of rage
The idea of his ex-lover being with someone else makes him incredibly angry and upset.

Like a lion in rusted out circus cage
The singer feels trapped and confined like an old circus lion.

I want to break these bars and make you understand
The singer wants to free himself from his emotional torment and make his ex-lover realize how much he still cares.

When I finally settle in to a midnight dream
The singer finds temporary solace in his dreams, especially at night.

You're walking through a field of flowers smiling at me
In his dreams, the singer imagines his ex-lover walking toward him, surrounded by flowers and smiling.

So I reach right out and try to touch your skin
In his dream, the singer attempts to touch his ex-lover's skin.

Then a morning breeze blows and I almost taste your sweet scent drippin' on my pillow case
The singer is so lost in the dream of his ex-lover that he can almost smell her on his pillow when he wakes up.

Damn this day, here I go again
Waking up from the dream is painful and depressing for the singer.

I don't think I can really take no more
The singer is on the brink of emotional collapse and feels like he can't handle any more heartbreak.

Like a prize fighter laying on the canvas floor
The singer feels beaten down, like a defeated boxer lying on the mat.

I hear the clock bell ring struggle to my feet
Despite his emotional exhaustion, the singer tries to pick himself up and keep fighting.

I've been 52 rounds with your memory
The singer feels like he's been in a grueling boxing match with his memories of his lost love.

I'd go 52 more if it make you see
Despite the pain, the singer is willing to keep fighting for his ex-lover's affection.

Girl you mean the world to me
The singer is declaring his love and devotion to his ex-lover.
