Heart Of Mine
Peter Salett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If everything glittering
Will turn into the gold
I see in your hair
I feel it could be there
Somehow, tonight
And do you want to find
The change would do me right
Cause I've been just waiting
And hesitating
With this heart of mine
You're still a mystery
But there's something so easy
In how you're sweet to me
I feel completed
Like it's something I needed
For this heart of mine
There's always something so tragic
About a hopeless romantic
So though we cannot know
If everything glittering
Will turn into the gold
I'm through with waiting
And hesitating
I want you taking
This heart of mine
Heart of mine
Heart of mine

Line by Line Meaning
Do you want to know
Are you curious
If everything glittering
If everything that seems valuable
Will turn into the gold
Will turn out to be actually valuable
I see in your hair
I see in you
I feel it could be there
I have a hunch it might be true
Somehow, tonight
On this particular evening
And do you want to find
And are you searching for
Something worth saving
Something important to hold onto
The change would do me right
Change would be good for me
Cause I’ve been just waiting
Because I've been hesitant for a long time
And hesitating
And not taking action
With this heart of mine
With my emotions
You’re still a mystery
You're still unknown to me
But there’s something so easy
But there's something so effortless
In how you’re sweet to me
In how you are kind to me
I feel completed
I feel whole
Like it’s something I needed
Like it's something I have been lacking or missing
For this heart of mine
For my emotions
There’s always something so tragic
There is always something very sad
About a hopeless romantic
About someone who is still optimistic about love despite heartbreaks
So though we cannot know
So although we cannot be certain
If everything glittering
If everything that seems valuable
Will turn into the gold
Will turn out to be actually valuable
I’m through with waiting
I'm done with hesitation
And hesitating
And not taking action
I want you taking
I want you to have
This heart of mine
My emotions
Heart of mine
My emotions

I think those of us who love this song are hopeless romantics. It's ironic that i bet some of us girls (me) and some of you guys would be perfect for each other........good luck in love

I'd recommend two other songs as a hopeless Romantic. Ride by Cary Brothers and Simple Song by the Shins.

This was my wife's and my wedding song in 2004. We loved it, of course - that's why we picked it. And people at the wedding (most of whom had never heard it before) loved it too.
@PMandrekar
Love the song. I would have played this at our wedding, if we hadn't gotten married a couple of years before we saw this movie and heard the song!
@catiscray4133
Are you still married? I want to know if the song was good luck.
@PMandrekar
