The Darkness
Heart Explodes
[Verse 1]
I'm standing on a cliff top and I'm looking out to sea
The sirens of The Netherlands are beckoning me
I'm trying to write a ballad that makes you wanna stay
They're easy to come up with but they're difficult to play
Cause I know what I'm supposed to do but I don't know if I can
Sell the world a story 'bout a woman and a man
Who meet at the beginning, together they belong
And it feels like they are winning, 'til everything goes wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
[Chorus]
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
[Verse 2]
I'm standing in the weather and I can't open the door
Then suddenly it hits me this isn't my house anymore
I knew you wouldn't listen, so I've given you carte blanche
To build a clown asylum on the Neverland ranch
I can't believe it's over I can't believe I'm free
To sleep with anybody who wants to sleep with me
I never wrote that ballad, there isn't such a song
I tried to make you happy and then everything went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the open road
Run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
[Chorus]
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
[Bridge]
Free to love again
Like the love you never showed
Free to love again
Love 'til our hearts explode
[Outro]
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
