Heartbeat Radio

Sondre Lerche Heartbeat Radio Lyrics
1.Good Luck

I had a bad dream
And as the night progressed
Drenched in silliness I watched it all unfold

Oh Dear
If there is any truth to this
Somebody wake me and serve up some good white lies

I had a bad dream
In which the phone would ring
And drown out everything
It kept me on my feet

But, down in streets so quiet now
I can hear ticking from meters and bronze?
When I fall asleep and I climb these four walls
Wake up in the middle of conference calls
But go on forever about nothing at all

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Oh, there's no reason why

I had a bad dream
And as the sun came in
I threw out everything that kept me company

I held my breath to feel alive
The damage is measured against the regrets
The potential of tragedy hangs you bad threads
Strike up the banjo and sing us a song

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Oh, there's no reason why


Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Luck, whether good or bad
Doesn't come from justice

Good luck
Don't you feel so bad
Just don't get your hopes up
Oh, there's no reason why


2.Heartbeat Radio

Tell me what you think about this song
Sue me if you reckon it's too long
I wanna know how you really feel
Tell me what you think this is funny
Spending all my time and my money
Trying to find how you really feel

The radio's perfect pitch makes me nauseous
Oh
The dimwits are digging a ditch on my heartbeat radio

Tell me what's the deal with the static
FM has become automatic
I wanna know did the DJ drown
In a sea of reverb and compression
Wait til you hear the refrain
On my heartbeat radio

My darling waves can be replaced
But I will remember you
I'd sell my soul
But you'll adore
Still I'm not receiving you

Tell me why you're changing the station
What comes after heavy rotation
I wanna know am I coming through
I wanna know what I've done to you
You're wearing out my favorite song
And everyone else's oh
Nothing but sad honky tonk on my heartbeat ratio

My darling waves can be replaced
But I will remember you
I've sold my soul
And you'll adore
Still I'm not receiving you

Tell me what you think about this song
Tell me what you think about this song
Tell me what you think about this song
Tell me what you think about this song
Tell me what you think about
Tell me what you think about
Tell me what you think about

We laugh and cry but don't ask why
My poor heart still beats for you
Oh my heartbeat radio

My darling waves can be replaced
But I will remember you
I'd sell my soul
And you'll adore
Still I'm not receiving you

On my heartbeat radio ...


3.I Cannot Let You Go

With sleight of hand and force of will
Closets full of odd-sized shoes to fill
I better be a gifted kid
To undo some of the deeds you did

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
I try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend or make up something new
You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go

The rubber band is wearing thin
Bursting as reality kicks in
All hope should be at long last lost
But you'll defy all sense at any cost

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gona be late
Forgive you anything
I try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So let's pretend or make up something new
But theres no getting back to the start
I try to shake it but it just won't do
You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go, I cannot let you go


In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
I try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So let's pretend or make up something new
But there's no getting back to the start
I'll be a father, you can be the son
Till I can't even tell us apart
I tried to shake it but the deal is done
You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go (let you go)
Try as I may I know I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go X5


4.Like Lazenby

It's a travesty, where do I begin?
The ways in which I have behaved
I'm glad no one was keeping track of me

Like the tambourine, driven by the beat
I forgot what time it was
I wish someone were looking out for me

Some of you may think that I regret some of my doings
I'd do it all again if I had the chance

Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
Just like Lazeny

Like the swirling sun, I haven't burned out
It's better to... etc.
I won't bore you with these things we tend to say

Like a fairytale, with blood on every page
My failures brought about some blessings
Someone must be watching out for me

Even though I wonder why I did some of my doings
I'd do it all again if I had the change

Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
Just like Lazeny

Just like Lazenby
Just like Lazenby
Burning every bridge
Endless opportunities I squandered on the way to this event
Just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try?
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
And reluctantly begged forgiveness
Just like Lazeny


5.If Only

My baby's building a sand castle
And someday we're gonna live on the shores
But nowadays we just hold our breath
Until the meeting next Monday

And it's going through the roof
We're blowing through the roof
If only you guys could see us

Me and my baby we bicker
but I know the talented devil inside
And so we bond over raising toasts
To absent minds, who paint the sky
Two absent minds, expecting to fly
My baby does tend to contradict it's only natural
That it's going through the roof
B-blowing through the roof
If only you guys could see
that I'm giving you the proof
I'm telling you the truth
They were gonna call tomorrow


Tow absent minds, expecting to fly
My baby knows how the world goes around
We'll jump the rails and abandon this town
Sometimes I blush when imaging
How big it's gonna be
Really, really, blowing through the roof
We're going through the roof
If only the world would follow I'm giving you the proof
What do I have to do to make sure you all believe us?
If only you guys could see us now


6.Pioneer

This could be asking for more than I merit
This could be testing your patience
I really don't have a whole lot to draw from
But I'd be willing to learn, only

Don't expect much style & finesse
But don't be surprised if I impress
I say this even though
I'm almost sure by now you know


I say this even though
I'm almost sure by now you know


7.Easy to Persuade

Is it hot in here
Or have I lost myself again?
Is it hot in here or is it only me?
If I leave the room
Maybe things will settle down
If I get back let's pretend we never met

Cuz I know I'm so easy to persuade
Why do I cling to the little that remains?
But in the end there's something you can't erase
Oh, but you know
I'm so easy to persuade

Is it hot in here?
Cuz my pulse is running scared
From a beating heart with something to defend
How hard can it be to tell the truth from what you're told?
Get out now while there's still some air left in the tank

Cuz I know
I'm so easy to persuade
Why do I cling to the little that remains?
But in the end there's something you can't erase
Oh, you would know
I'm so easy to persuade


Is it hot in here
I don't know that you would know
Oh, whatever, don't know why I even ask

Cuz you know I'm so easy to persuade
How did you know
I would shoulder all the blame?
But in the end
I guess some things you can't erase
Oh, but you know I'm so easy to persuade

I'm so easy to persuade
I'm so easy to persuade


8.Words & Music

You be words, and I'll be music
Ain't you heard, that's how they do it?
You're a poem when you're on your own
I'll try not to get in your way
But I've all the poems I have known,
baby, you give me something to say

I'll be words, and you'll be music
I concur, I can't refuse it
You're a sad little tune by yourself
So lovely I wanna sing along
If there's one thing I know I can tell,
when we get together we're a song

Whenever I'm with you it's true it's
Everything you say and do it's
Words & music, you & I

Listen here, I've gotta say it
It's so clear, the way we should play it
I will carry you, together we'll float through the sky
We can marry too, together just look at us fly

Whenever I'm with you it's true it's
Everything you say and do it's
Words & music, you & I

When we fight it's rock & roll
When we make it up, it's soul
And in the meanwhile, freestyle, play-by-ear, improvise
It's clear we go together, it's been like this forever
You & I and words & music

Whenever I'm with you it's true it's
Everything you say and do it's true
You and I are, you and I are
You and I are words & music


9.I Guess It's Gonna Rain Today

You better know by know she said
I made no effort to defend myself against her claim
There wasn't anything to add, and so I blurted out
I guess it's gonna rain today
What a silly thing to put you through, I know better
Lost for words because I'm losing you
Didn't I promise you I knew better?

Hurry home before the sky breaks out
You can't predict things that happen all the time
Hurry, but don't take my word for it, babe
I don't know, but I guess it's gonna rain today
I don't know, but I guess it's gonna rain today

She said to get the hell away
And left me standing in the doorway like a tired cliche
I thought I had it all pinned down, now I'm the guy who said
I guess it's gonna rain today
Oh, the fine line between street-smartness and a smart ass
Oh, the skipping beats of confidence
And the drumroll that you thought you could play

Hurry home before the sky breaks out
No point predicting things that happen all the time
Hurry, but don't take my word for it, babe
I don't know, but I guess it's gonna rain today
I don't know, but I guess it's gonna rain today

But I'm sure that you've known this all along
Oh, I'm sure that you've known this all along


10.Almighty Moon

Well it's all over now
Oh, I'm not gonna beg to differ
So unfit to be lounging with her
You've been running around now
Running around, running around

But you made your mind up
And you couldn't believe your luck now
How the chemicals combined and still how
You were running around now
Running around, running around now now now

So go and fake one more mistake
And choose to be so cruel
I can't defend myself against almighty moon

Oh, it's all over now
It was peachy for a while, then bitter
The start was flawless but you'll end a quitter
Always running away now
Running away, running away

When you sweat the truth out
Little something pulls you right back in
Trust little nothings to be pulling tricks
Just to keep you running around now
Running around, running around now now now

So go and make one more mistake
And choose to be so cruel
I can't defend myself against almighty moon


Wake up, wake up
You made your last mistake
The world can be so cruel
I won't abide the tide of your almighty moon

My old almighty moon
I know your tricks too well
Now please!


11.Don't Look Now


12.Goodnight

Good day, I like you when you're drunk
I only wish I was there,
not trapped upon this bunk
Hurry, and to God-knows where
In a land far, far away;
in a low-budget production
I make up stories of you
In seduction, you may want to add a thing or two between the
lines
Tell me all about it and I'll try to make the words jump off the
pages at any time
Lost in correspondances all day
For the lack of better words,
I'll choose them carefully
and say 'I bet you're quite a sight'

I can't pretend I don't care,
I'm not the jealous kind
But I can't imagine and stare,
watchin your daylight fly by
Or topping my darkest confessions,
reading the things I write
just questions, you may want to add a thing or two between the
lines
Tell me all about it and I'll try to make the words spill from
your pages everytime
Girl, I could be doing this all day
But the lack of flesh and blood beneath the words leaves me
inane


Is it a drug or a word,
maybe just a nice piece of fiction?
Won't I ever cease to obsess
over this universal addiction?
In a word you're all that I want,
oh, you're the only prescription
But nothing here seems to match
Your description, you may want to add a thing or two between the
lines
Tell me all about it and I'll try to make the words jump off the
pages all the time
Strange abbreviations can prevent my serenading you in message
number nine
I'll try to make the sentence last all day
And for lack of better words, I'll choose them carefully and say
'Goodnight'
