Heartbreaker
Parade the Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heart oh Heartbreaker...

Must have asked about an hour ago
Met a girl at the bar, would have never known
I said "Hey Kid, are you alone?"

And she, heard my question turned around
Brought her drink to the table and sat down
I said "This is all that I know..."

They call me Heartbreaker
I'm just a good neighbour
You share your sugar, I'll share my cream

You call me Heartbreaker
Heart, oh Heartbreaker
Baby, I could be your dream

She's playing hard to get
But I gotta say, I'm loving it
I said "Hey Kid, you wanna roll?"

And she, heard my question turned me down
So I smiled, said "I'd see you around"
She grabbed my hand and had to tell me...

That they...

They call her Heartbreaker
That little hell raiser
She is never what she seems

I call her Heartbreaker
Heart, oh Heartbreaker
Baby, I could be your dream

Yeah Baby, I could be your dream....

Come closer, keep me waiting, wanting more
Come closer, knocking on your bedroom door
Forget the world, never like you have before
Come closer...

Do they call you Heartbreaker?
Are you a hell raiser?
Are you ever what you...seem?

They call her Heartbreaker
That little hell raiser
She is never what she seems

I call her Heartbreaker
Heart, oh Heartbreaker
Baby, I could be your dream

Heart, oh Heartbreaker
Baby, I could be your dream





Baby, only in your dreams....

Overall Meaning

The song is about a chance encounter between two people at a bar - the singer (who refers to himself as "Heartbreaker") strikes up a conversation with a girl (referred to as "Kid") and tries to woo her. He asks if she's alone and invites her to join him. The girl initially plays hard to get, but eventually takes his hand and reveals that people call her "Heartbreaker". The chorus consists the two of them referring to each other as heartbreakers but the singer also stating that he could be her dream.


The lyrics could be interpreted in a few ways. One possible interpretation is that Heartbreaker is a metaphor for someone who is emotionally unavailable or unreliable. Both characters could be seen as being "heartbreakers" because they tend to lead people on and then disappear. At the same time, they're both looking for someone to connect with and could potentially find that connection with each other.


The song has a catchy and upbeat sound that stands in contrast with the theme of heartbreak. The chorus is particularly memorable and emphasizes the idea of two people who are drawn to each other despite (or perhaps because of) their own respective issues.
