In a Heartbeat
Ryan McMullan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than ever before,
Your precious time
'Cause you took the rain,
Yeah, and you took it by storm
And it's creeping in again.
Helps with letting you go
Than I'd scream it loud
But the truth is I already know.
I'd come running,
I'd come running again,
If you wanna talk it out
You need only let me in.
I'd come running,
I'd come running again
In a heartbeat.
'Cause it's all I've known
And since it's been gone
I crave it more now.
I went too far, yes, I know
And maybe I did let you go
How can't you see I felt all alone?
But if letting it out
Helps with letting you go
Than I'd scream it loud
But the truth is I already know.
I'd come running,
I'd come running again,
If you wanna talk it out
You need only let me in.
I'd come running,
I'd come running again
In a heartbeat.
I'd come running
In a heartbeat
I'd come running
We'd walk the same old streets,
I'd breath the air that you breath
And feel your heartbeat next to me.
I'd come running,
I'd come running again,
If you wanna talk it out
You need only let me in.
I'd come running,
I'd come running again
In a heartbeat.
In a heartbeat, in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat,
In a heartbeat, in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat
The lyrics in Ryan McMullan's "In a Heartbeat" speak to the struggles that come with a broken relationship.
The first verse suggests that the singer needs the person they've lost more than ever before, as they're feeling isolated and in need of support. The repetition of the phrase "in a heartbeat" throughout the song emphasizes the urgency of this desire for connection. The second verse goes on to acknowledge the mistakes that led to the end of the relationship - the singer "went too far" and allowed the other person to leave. But despite this, they still long to reconcile and rebuild what they once had.
The chorus centers around the promise that the singer would come running back to the other person if they were willing to talk and work things out. The vivid imagery of walking the same streets and feeling each other's heartbeat underscores the intensity of their connection and how much they miss it.
Overall, "In a Heartbeat" is a raw depiction of the pain of loss and the hope of reconciliation. It speaks to the desire for human connection, even when that connection has been lost.

Oh, I need it now
I need your undivided attention right away
More than ever before,
Even more than I did in the past
Your precious time
I need your valuable time to deal with something important
'Cause you took the rain,
You were once able to withstand a situation with grace
Yeah, and you took it by storm
You triumphed over the situation with even more effort
And it's creeping in again.
The situation is slowly but surely returning
But if letting it out
If expressing my feelings
Helps with letting you go
Helps me move on from our relationship
Than I'd scream it loud
I would share my feelings with everyone
But the truth is I already know.
But deep down, I already know what I need to do
I'd come running,
I would immediately go to you if you need me
I'd come running again,
I would come rushing back to support you
If you wanna talk it out
If you need to talk about something that's been bothering you
You need only let me in.
You only need to ask me to join the conversation
'Cause it's all I've known
Because our relationship was so important to me
And since it's been gone
Since the relationship ended
I crave it more now.
I long for it even more than before
I went too far, yes, I know
I acknowledge that I may have made mistakes in our relationship
And maybe I did let you go
Perhaps I am at fault for our breakup
How can't you see I felt all alone?
I hope you understand how lonely I have been since you left
We'd walk the same old streets,
I would love to revisit our old memories
I'd breath the air that you breath
I would like to be close to you again
And feel your heartbeat next to me.
I would like to feel connected to you once again
In a heartbeat.
I would return to you without any hesitation
In a heartbeat, in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat,
I would come to you instantly without any reservation
