Heart Of Mine
Nathan Reich Lyrics

Her father as a concrete man
Her father was a person of unwavering beliefs and was unyielding in the face of opposition.

And her mother was a painter
Her mother was a creative person who expressed herself through art.

Born with good hands
She was blessed with natural talent and skill.

She was born a creator
She was meant to make things and bring them into existence.

But the coiled heat
Despite the frenzied pace of life and work,

Of this neon light
In the midst of the bright lights of the city,

Wont help anyone find anything tonight
It can be pointless and empty, leading to nowhere.

Doesnt feel like rain but you know it might
There's a sense of uncertainty and possibility, even if it's not obvious.

You wont find anything tonight
There's no magic solution or discovery to be made.

She said Ill leave in the morning time
She wants to start fresh and escape her current situation.

Straightest road from my twisted mind
She knows where she wants to go, even if her thoughts and feelings are conflicted.

For the love that I placed on the line
She put everything on the line for someone or something she loves.

Ill never understand this heart of mine
She can't make sense of her own emotions and desires.

2 years in New York city
She's been living in the city for a while now.

Still lost on the train
She's still struggling to find her way and make sense of everything around her.

So this is what it looks like
She's realizing the harsh reality of life and the city, and it's not what she expected.

To see a man go insane
She's observing the effects of the city on others, and it's not pretty.

She rents a new room
She moves to a new place to start again.

Puts her matress on the floor
She's not flashy, but practical and resourceful.

The phone doesnt ring like it used to anymore
She's lost touch with people and things from her past.

And all your life youre been waiting by the door
She's been waiting for something or someone, but it hasn't come yet.

But youre not breathing anymore
She's feeling suffocated and stagnant, even as life goes on around her.

But I repair the x-rays in your eyes
She wants to make things better for someone else, even if she can't fix her own problems.

The radiation in your mind
She sees something wrong or troubling in someone's thought processes.

And I tell you now
She's making a plea or offer of help to someone else.

Dont leave me here
She doesn't want to be alone or abandoned.

These walls are gone
Some obstacle or boundary has been removed or overcome.

But Im still here
She's still present and willing to help or work things out.

Alone
She's still feeling isolated and disconnected from others.
