Knocking on Your Heart
Maggie Lindemann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing makes it hard to breathe like being in your company
When you've got someone new around your arms
I thought'd I'd be over it
To see you lock with other lips
I guess I'm just no good at moving on
I always tried to tell myself that I'd fall in love with someone else
But oh, my stubborn heart is set on you
And every night I fall asleep
Just so I can see you in my dreams
And now, I think you ought to know the truth
Are you listening
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one and I've always been
Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll over meet again
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
When you left I made you swear
Our love would last, no matter where
And we would call each other every night
But nights turned into weeks, turned into months we didn't speak
And so, we lost our sense of love over time
I always tried to tell myself that I'd fall in love with someone else
But oh, my stubborn heart is set on you
And every night I fall asleep
Just so I can see you in my dreams
And now I think you ought to know the truth
Are you listening
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one and I've always been
Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll over meet again
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
Are you listening
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one and I've always been




Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll over meet again
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?

Line by Line Meaning

Nothing makes it hard to breathe like being in your company
Being near you makes it difficult for me to breathe


When you've got someone new around your arms
You have someone new in your arms


I thought'd I'd be over it
I thought I would have gotten over you


To see you lock with other lips
To see you kiss someone else


I guess I'm just no good at moving on
I'm not good at moving on and getting over you


I always tried to tell myself that I'd fall in love with someone else
I've always tried to convince myself that I would find someone else to love


But oh, my stubborn heart is set on you
But my heart refuses to let go of you


And every night I fall asleep
Every night before I fall asleep


Just so I can see you in my dreams
I hope to see you in my dreams


And now, I think you ought to know the truth
And now, I think it's time for you to know the truth


Are you listening
Are you paying attention?


I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
I'm asking you to open up your heart to me


Tell me I'm the one and I've always been
Tell me that I am the only one for you


Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll over meet again
Because I don't want to wonder if we will ever meet again


When you left I made you swear
When you left, you swore


Our love would last, no matter where
That our love would last no matter where you are


And we would call each other every night
And we would talk to each other every night


But nights turned into weeks, turned into months we didn't speak
But eventually, we stopped speaking for weeks and months


And so, we lost our sense of love over time
As a result, our love for each other faded over time

I guess I'm just no good at moving on

[Bridge]

That I'd fall in love with someone else
But oh, my stubborn heart is set on you
And every night I fall asleep
Just so I can see you in my dreams
And now, I think you ought to know the truth

[Chorus]
Are you listening?
I'm knocking on your heart, will you let me in?
Tell me I'm the one, and I've always been
Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll over meet again
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?

[Verse 2]
When you left I made you swear our love would last, no matter where
And we would call each other every night

Tell me I'm the one, and I've always been
Cause I don't wanna wonder if we'll over meet again
I'm knocking on your heart, could you let me in?
