[Verse 1]

I know a woman

She's as cold as a stone

And she hides in the shadows

Of an empty road

I tried to break her

But she couldn't be broke

And we walked together

On this empty road, but

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I need a lover

Not just another

Not just somebody to spend the night

You want my reasons

I couldn't tell you

And if I did, it wouldn't ease your mind

[Chorus]

I need a heartbeat

To keep me on my feet

[Verse 2]

Pretty girls born in the 90's

They don't know much of '85

They're alive

I'm barely breathing

Wanna remember what that feels like

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I need a lover

Not just another

Not just somebody to spend the night

Don't need an answer

Don't need a reason

Things come apart, baby that's all right

[Chorus]

I need a heartbeat

To keep me on my feet

Walking on empty streets

[Bridge]

I give up

Walking on empty streets

'Cause they're filled with faces of people I never meet

I run through the valleys

Between buildings and concrete

All I hear are the echoes

Where there once was a heartbeat beat- beat- beating

[Chorus]

I need a heartbeat

To keep me on my feet

Walking on empty streets

I need a heartbeat

To keep me on my feet

Walking on empty streets
