The O.C. - Doves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So serious, you don't need i hit the ground running
Slow up, you don't make for this heat
Arma me, you just like me roll with it as it comes
Unravel the mystery, so plain to me
'Cause nothing ever skips my beat like it does
I'm done with this history be
Just skip to my beat
Heart beat loud
Heart beating so loud
Heartbeat, are you ready to bring this beat around?
Heartbeat, to pieces down, you make me
Heartbeat, are you ready to bring this beat around?
Heartbeat, to pieces, that's how you make me
Take a little closer, come up to my speed
Your destiny creeping, at the tip on this shoulder
Now got the things down to my seat
I begin with the condolence to carry this over and
Know it hasn't commenced to beat
Through friends and beats, on between frequencies like a drum
All under the waves of this heat
You feat to my deep
It's quiet when I hear your
Heart beat loud
Heart beating so loud
Heartbeat, are you ready to bring this beat around?
Heartbeat, to pieces down, you make me
A stereo sound
Heart beat loud
Heart beating so loud
Heartbeat, are you ready to bring this beat around?
Heartbeat, to pieces down, you make me
Heartbeat, are you ready to bring this beat around?
Heartbeat, to pieces down, you make me
A stereo sound

When my mother died while I was in university 17 years ago, I had a moment where I decided to end my life. My MP3 player at the time skipped through a bunch of songs randomly and fell on this song like a skipped record. Some say God doesn’t exist but I have seen things that would make me question that dismissive logic. Even today after the death of guardian angel pets and late miscarriages I find some solace in this song.

Love this song - was on a compilation given to me by a friend. Was listening to it for two years without knowing the name of the band. Then was given tickets to a Doves concert - had never heard of them but went along..nearly broke down when they started playing this!!!!!! Fantastic gig in Mayo, Ireland. Suas an Irish!!!!!
