  • I tremble

    They're gonna eat me alive

    If I stumble

    They're gonna eat me alive

    Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer

    Help I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Hard to be soft
    Tough to be tender
    Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
    Help I'm alive my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer

    If you're still alive
    My regrets are few
    If my life is mine
    What shouldn't I do?
    I get wherever I'm going
    I get whatever I need
    While my blood's still flowing
    And my heart's still beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer

    Help I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Hard to be soft
    Tough to be tender
    Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
    Help I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer

    If you're still alive
    My regrets are few
    If my life is mine
    What shouldn't I do?
    I get wherever I'm going
    I get whatever I need
    While my blood's still flowing
    And my heart's still
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer

    I tremble

    They're gonna eat me alive

    If I stumble

    They're gonna eat me alive

    Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Help I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer Writer/s: Emily Haines, James Shaw

  • Veve from Lorain, OhLove this song! It sorta reminds me of The Hunger Games.
  • Michael from Houston, TxHaha Joe I was just thinking the same thing when I listened to it the other day. Like, maybe she's too afraid to become vulnerable and open to this person she's falling for
  • Joe from Columbia, ScI love this song. It kinda seems like this song is about a girl's nervousness being around their first love. I'm not sure, that's just my guesstimate.
