The scene is set, we play the parts
Boy meets girl, better shelter our hearts
We trace the steps
That a thousand lovers have danced beforeWithout a sound, we're face to face
And every breath is suspended in space
Every moment we're together
Just leaves us wanting moreHolding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul
So come a little closerWe're only a heart beat away
From laying it all on the line
We're only a heart beat away
It's just a matter of time
So tell me that you need me
An' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see
We're only a heart beat away, yeahIt's in the air, it's in our eyes
Burning through every cool disguise
And pretending that we don't care
Pushes us closer to each other's fireIt's too late to break the spell that encircles us
The chains of destiny are strong
Stronger than both of us
Come on, let's surrenderWe're only a heart beat away
From laying it all on the line
We're only a heart beat away
It's just a matter of time
So tell me that you need me
An' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see
We're only a heart beat awayBeen too scared of taking a fall
Just a heart beat away from giving our all
It's only love, only loveHolding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul
Come on, let's surrenderWe're only a heart beat away
So come on, you closer
We're only a heart beat away
Yeah yeah
Tell me that you need me
An' I'm comin', baby can't you seeWe're only a heart beat away
Believe it I'm not lying
We're only a heart beat away
And it's just a matter of time
Oh, baby tell me that you need me
An' I'll come runnin', baby can't you seeWe're only a heart beat away
Believe it I'm not lying
We're only a heart beat away
Yeah
