Candy-Coated Heartbeat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You walk in Like a long weekend White sneakers And a storm of friends I’m laughing But my pulse jumps high Sip my drink too fast Try to act like “fine” [Pre-Chorus] My screen lights up Your name again Type Delete Then type Then send Every little word you write Feels like fireworks in my mind (oh) [Chorus] You’re my candy-coated heartbeat Pop pop Sugar in my veins When you’re looking right at me All my cool just melts away Spinning like a carousel Can’t stop I don’t wanna be saved You’re my candy-coated heartbeat Say my name and taste my fate (hey!) [Verse 2] We’re side by side In the photo line You peace-sign I just freeze in time Your jacket Smells like mandarin I pretend I’m fine But I’m falling in [Pre-Chorus] Friends all tease “just hold their hand” I just laugh Don’t understand Why this tiny brush of skin Feels like fireworks on my chin (oh-oh) [Chorus] You’re my candy-coated heartbeat Pop pop Sugar in my veins When you’re looking right at me All my cool just melts away Spinning like a carousel Can’t stop I don’t wanna be saved You’re my candy-coated heartbeat Say my name and taste my fate (hey!) [Bridge] If you say “let’s run” I’ll be at the door Shoes untied Hair a mess But I’ll want it more If you say “it’s love” I won’t hesitate I’ve been practicing this smile For that word all day (oh yeah) [Chorus] You’re my candy-coated heartbeat Pop pop Sugar in my veins When you’re looking right at me All my cool just melts away Spinning like a carousel Can’t stop I don’t wanna be saved You’re my candy-coated heartbeat Say my name and taste my fate (hey!) You’re my candy-coated heartbeat You’re my candy-coated heartbeat
