We're on an open bed truck on the highway
Rain is coming down and we're on the run
Think I can feel the breath in your body
We gotta keep on running til' we see the sun

Oh you gotta fire and it's burnin' in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause love someone, love them all the same
If you LOVE someone, love them all the same

Oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
If you can love somebody, love them all the same
You gotta love somebody, love them all the same
I'm singing, oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat

I'm tryin' to put it all back together
I've got a story and I'm tryin' to tell it right
I've got the kerosene and the desire
I'm trying to start a flame in the heart of the night
Oh you gotta fire and it's burnin' in the rain
Thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same
And you don't look back, not for anything
'Cause you love someone, you love them all the same
If you love someone, you love them all the same

Oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
If you can love somebody, love them all the same
You gotta love somebody, love them all the same
I'm singing, oh, I feel your heartbeat

I know the memories rushing into mind
I want to kiss your scars tonight
I'm laying here,
'Cause you've gotta try, you've gotta let me in, let me in

Oh I feel your heartbeat
And oh, you're comin' around, comin' around, comin' around
Gotta love somebody, you gotta, you gotta love somebody
You gotta, I'm singing, oh, I feel your heartbeat,
All your heartbeat, yeah, I said,
All your heartbeat, yeah,
All your heartbeat

    I think this song is about a man who falls in love with a girl who was depressed. She was buried in sadness, and he came along. "When you love someone you love them just the same" Maybe she tried to push him away, but he knew that's not what she needed, and he just wants to help. "I feel your heartbeat" he's letting her know that he's there for her. Because that's what love is. It's helping the person when they need it most.

    Excellent song, my favorite from this album

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
