Heartbeat
The Fray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're on an open bed truck on the highway
Rain is coming down and we're on the run
Think I can feel the breath in your body
We gotta keep on running til' we see the sun

Oh you gotta fire and it's burnin' in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause love someone, love them all the same
If you LOVE someone, love them all the same

Oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
If you can love somebody, love them all the same
You gotta love somebody, love them all the same
I'm singing, oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat

I'm tryin' to put it all back together
I've got a story and I'm tryin' to tell it right
I've got the kerosene and the desire
I'm trying to start a flame in the heart of the night
Oh you gotta fire and it's burnin' in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause you love someone, you love them all the same
If you love someone, you love them all the same

Oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
If you can love somebody, love them all the same
You gotta love somebody, love them all the same
I'm singing, oh, I feel your heartbeat

I know the memories rushing into mind
I want to kiss your scars tonight
I'm laying here,
'Cause you've gotta try, you've gotta let me in, let me in

Oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
Gotta love somebody, you gotta, you gotta love somebody
You gotta, I'm singing, oh, I feel your heartbeat,
All your heartbeat, yeah, I said,




All your heartbeat, yeah,
All your heartbeat

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song sets the scene of a couple on the run. They find themselves exposed and vulnerable on an open bed truck in the rain. The singer feels the breath of his partner and the two of them are driven by the desire not to be caught. Yet with each passing moment, it becomes clear that they are running away from something that haunts them, perhaps a past that they want to leave behind. They keep running towards the hope of seeing the sun, a sign of a new beginning.


The chorus of the song talks about the importance of loving someone with all our heart, regardless of their flaws and mistakes. The metaphor of the fire burning in the rain suggests that love can withstand anything, and that one must never doubt the strength of their feelings, even when faced with obstacles. The singer emphasizes the importance of loving without conditions and not looking back, even when mistakes are made. The second verse takes a turn, with the singer admitting that they are trying to put their life back together. They have a story to tell and are trying to do it justice. There is a sense of desperation coupled with determination as the singer tries to ignite a flame in the heart of the night. The bridge reveals a moment of vulnerability, with the singer acknowledging the pain and suffering that his partner has gone through. He wants to show that he cares for her, even with her flaws, and his love for her gives him the courage to push through.

We're on an open bed truck on the highway
Rain is coming down and we're on the run
Think I can feel the breath in your body
We gotta keep on running til' we see the sun
Oh you got a fire and it's burnin' in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause if you love someone, you love them all the same
If you love someone, you love them all the same

Oh I'm feeling your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
If you can love somebody, you love them all the same
