Heart On The Floor
The Summer Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were just close enough to smell the whiskey on the breath
I didn't know why you were alone, but you ain't leaving that way
I threw back one whole drink before I asked you your name
And I said hey, hey, why you acting so sorry?
Hey, hey, who put that look on your face?
And I don't wanna leave this bar until I get your number
But unlike all the others I won't jet the morning after
I won't go dropping your heart on the floor
Come on, uh, uh, just give me what I want yeah
Uh, uh, don't drop my heart on the floor
Staring at the lipstick stain on your second glass of wine
I told you since I bought it I suppose your lips are mine
But you didn't laugh, brought up the past
Said I've been hurt before
Just about enough to know that I can't take no more
And I don't wanna leave this bar until I get your number
And if I'm being honest, I can't wait to get you home
But unlike all the others I won't jet the morning after
I won't go dropping your heart on the floor
Come on, uh, uh, just give me what I want yeah
Uh, uh, don't drop my heart on the floor
Don't over think what you want
Yeah you got the right to move on
From this bar to my door
Come on let that dress hit the floor
We got the rest of our lives
Let me take you for the ride
Somewhere you've never been before
And you'll be screaming
And I don't wanna leave this bar until I get your number
And if I'm being honest, I can't wait to get you home
But unlike all the others I won't jet the morning after
I won't go dropping your heart on the floor
And I don't wanna leave this bar until I get your number
And if I'm being honest, I can't wait to get you home
But unlike all the others I won't jet the morning after
I won't go dropping your heart on the floor
Uh, uh, just give me what I want yeah
The Summer Set's song "Heart On The Floor" is about finding someone that you are interested in at a bar and taking a chance on them without any expectations of the future. The singer was feeling low and maybe even drinking more than he should have been, but when he saw the person they were interested in, they felt like it was worth making an effort. They were honest about wanting to take the person home, but they also promised not to leave them heartbroken like other people might have in the past.
The lyrics explore the idea of being vulnerable and taking risks, especially when it comes to relationships. The singer acknowledges that the other person has been hurt before and might be hesitant to give their heart away again, but they still try to convince them to take a chance on them. They tell the other person to let go of their doubts and enjoy the moment because they have the potential to make each other happy.
Overall, "Heart On The Floor" is a catchy and upbeat love song that celebrates the idea of taking chances and being honest with someone you care about.
