Heartbeat

My head was clear like a crispy morning
Your true love was like a rifle butt sometimes
We drove through blackened trees
The bushfire memories
Stopped in Johanna for a cheap bottle of wine
Sun sets
We’re flying
These hillsides
Are melting
I thought I saw a vision of my youth
In the rear-view mirror while I was looking for the truth
I’ve been killing time mid-air
Hoping you will catch me
Heartbeat laying the tracks of a railroad
Coming on like a big train splitting me in two
I lie there splayed out like a highway
Heading straight for the unknown hoping I’ll find
You, it’s you
It’s always you
The fear, the truth, the fun
It’s time, it’s time, it’s always time
My time, my time, my time will come
You call it hope
I call it the summer
A flash of salt and sweaty love
And it will soon be over
But as we make our way
From the past to the future
I keep mixing memories
With dreams that I like better
Sun sets
We’re flying
These hillsides
Are melting
I woke to find the world is not so kind
When you’re out there looking for the reason you went blind
I’ve been killing time mid-air
Hoping you will catch me
Heartbeat laying the tracks of a railroad
Coming on like a big train splitting me in two
I lie there splayed out like a highway
Heading straight for the unknown hoping I’ll find
You, it’s you
It’s always you
The fear, the truth, the fun
It’s time, it’s time, it’s always time
My time, my time, my time will come
My time, my time, my time will come
I’ve been killing time mid-air
Hoping you will catch me
I’m just waiting for the world to change
To change
Heartbeat laying the tracks of a railroad
Coming on like a big train splitting me in two
I lie there splayed out like a highway
Heading straight for the unknown hoping I’ll find
You, it’s you
It’s always you
The fear, the truth, the fun
It’s time, it’s time, it’s always time
My time, my time, my time will come
My time, my time, my time will come
My time, my time, my time will come
