Hanging on a heartbeat
Hanging on a heartbeat
Hanging on a heartbeat
You know you can’t waste time while you’re hanging on a heartbeat

You change your mind like the weather
You promise sunshine but it looks like rain
A simple “no” would be better
But you just keep me hanging on again

Hanging on a heartbeat, the signal you know
Hanging on a heartbeat, come on girl, you move way to slow
Hanging on a heartbeat, it’s a hot seat you better give it up and leave it behind
’Cause life’s too short while you’re hanging on a heartbeat

I lay my cards out on the table
But you’ve got aces hidden up your sleeve
I’m ready, willing and able
But I’m a joker when it’s time to leave

How many nights have I wasted?
How many dreams have I lost in vain?
Oh, but I like the little I’ve tasted
Don’t leave me

Hanging on a heartbeat

My heart is lying here naked
All that I ask is you believe in me
We’ve got the power to make it
Oh, we’ll say good-night or we can let it be

Hanging on a heartbeat, can’t you see how hard i’ve tried?
Hanging on a heartbeat, can’t you see the fire in my eyes?
Hanging on a heartbeat, it’s a hot seat you better give it up and leave it behind
’Cause you can’t waste time while you’re hanging on a heartbeat
