1. Walking out into the dark
Cutting out a different path
Lead by your beating heart.

All the people of the town
Cast their eyes right to the ground
In matters of the heart.

The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found.

But.

[Chorus:]
This is your heart
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

2. Summer evening breezes blew
Drawing voices deep from you
Lead by your beating heart.

What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart.

The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night; you can't be found.

But.

[Bridge:]
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where it would fall, will you come down at all?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where your bullet would fall, will you come down at all?
