Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen you lately
Running all around like crazy
I think that maybe we should take it slow
Don't lose your cool
We can feel the beat inside
Moving to the rhythm of your heart
We don't get another try
It's not that hard

If you listen up
To the beat in your soul
When you get lost
That's how you get home
No matter all the times you fall
You'll get back up I know
If you listen up
To the beat in your soul

If you need
There will be
Light to follow
When it's too dark to see
You'll find it's inside
Been there all along
Don't lose your cool

I know that the time is right
Moving to the rhythm of your heart
We don't get another try
It's not that hard

If you listen up
To the beat in your soul
When you get lost
That's how you get home
No matter all the times you fall
You'll get back up I know
If you listen up
To the beat in your soul

If you listen up
To the beat in your soul
When you get lost
That's how you get home
No matter all the times you fall
You'll get back up I know
If you listen up
To the beat in your soul

If you listen up
To the beat in your soul
When you get lost
That's how you get home
No matter all the times you fall
You'll get back up I know

If you listen up
To the beat in your soul
