Words Meet Heartbeats
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'd go house to house and knock on every door,
I'd take down all the walls and tear up every floor,
Just to figure out, oh what we're fighting for
And all I can do,
Is sit and let the air speak for you

Cause when words meet heartbeats baby c'mon
You know it's not even fair
And a first round, knockdown
Baby the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets high, and that moon is low
Oh cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby you'll know

Well there's silence now
There's nothing more to gain
And it isn't right if I can't run away
Because it kills the mood,
When there's nothing left to say
And all I can do,
Is sit and let the air speak for you

Cause when words meet heartbeats baby c'mon
You know it's not even fair
And a first round knockdown
Baby the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets high, and that moon is low
Oh cause when words meet heartbeats

And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to see
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing with me

Cause when words meet heartbeats baby c'mon
You know it's not even fair
And a first round knockdown
Baby the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets high, and the moon is low
Oh cause when words meet heartbeats
Oh when words meet heartbeats




Oh when words meet heartbeats
Baby you'll know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Words Meet Heartbeats" by Parachute tell a story of a person who is fighting to keep a relationship alive. The singer talks about going to great lengths, including tearing down walls and floors, just to figure out why they are fighting. They understand the power of their emotions, which is conveyed through the chorus "Cause when words meet heartbeats, baby c'mon, You know it's not even fair." Their feelings and the connection between them and their partner are so strong that it knocks them both off their feet like a first-round knockdown. The singer acknowledges that sometimes silence is more powerful than words, and they are willing to let the air speak for them to preserve the connection between them.


The verses then express their frustration as they struggle to make sense of what's happening in the relationship. There is a sense of desperation as the singer admits that they would rather run away than face the loss of connection between them and their partner. The bridge is an assertion that they are still aware of what is happening and that they aren't tired of fighting to keep the relationship alive.
