Beat Of My Heart
Noisettes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There a boy I like south of the river
That doesn't leave his house the morning up till noon
Not even when the flowers are in bloom

We could take a stroll or just share, you know
I just want to be your lady, oh come home soon
They say I'm a fool

I'm standing in the cold without a coat, but
I just won't go down, down, down
Down down down

Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it start
Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it start

Maybe the stars will go our way
Lover, I will never ever let you strain
And I hope to see you some day

We could watch the night sky fade to blue
Listen to your heart
And maybe you will break through
Breaking the rules

Even though I'm standing in the rain without a coat, but
I just won't go down, down, down
Down down down

Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it start
Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it star

Come and get the keys to my heart
Let it start, let it start
Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it star

Slowly show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, just let it start
Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it start

And you could be the first time I need a chart
Just let it start, let it start
Let me show you the beat of my heart
Let it start, let it star

Do let's show you the beat of my heart

I just won't go down, down, no, down
Down down down

Line by Line Meaning

There a boy I like south of the river
I am interested in a guy who lives south of the river

That doesn't leave his house the morning up till noon
He stays home until noon every morning

Not even when the flowers are in bloom
He doesn't go out even during spring

We could take a stroll or just share, you know
We can spend time together, go for a walk, or just talk

I just want to be your lady, oh come home soon
I want to be in a relationship with him and wish for him to come home soon

They say I'm a fool
People think I am foolish for liking him

I'm standing in the cold without a coat, but
I am standing outside in the cold without any warm clothes

I just won't go down, down, down
I won't give up or quit

Let me show you the beat of my heart
Allow me to express my strong feelings for you

Let it start, let it start
Let us start something special

Maybe the stars will go our way
Perhaps things will work out in our favor

Lover, I will never ever let you strain
No matter what happens, I will always support and care for you

And I hope to see you some day
I'm looking forward to seeing you again

We could watch the night sky fade to blue
We could enjoy the sunset together

Listen to your heart
Follow your feelings and intuition

And maybe you will break through
You might discover something new about yourself

Breaking the rules
Taking risks and doing things differently

Even though I'm standing in the rain without a coat, but
Even though I'm in the rain with no protection from the weather

Let me show you the beat of my heart
Still, let me reveal my affection for you

Come and get the keys to my heart
Take my heart and let us start a relationship

Slowly show you the beat of my heart
Gradually reveal the intensity of my feelings

And you could be the first time I need a chart
You could be the one who makes me fall in love for real

Do let's show you the beat of my heart
Let us demonstrate my emotional attachment to you

I just won't go down, down, no, down
I will not surrender, give up or back down
