lyrics
i guess i’ve got an on / off heart
i’m in for good or i give up
until you get a space or a kiss
you don’t know which one you’re with
my heart is like a line in the sand
you’re never landing on the middle of it
it’s either gonna sink or swim
it’s either gonna feel everything
or feel nothing, nothing when it hears your name
when it’s gone it’s gone
you’ll never get it back again
it’s gonna stop or start
my on / off heart
i’m heels over head or not
i’m freezing cold or paradise hot
it’s either i believe or i don’t
i’m all in, i’m all in
or i feel nothing, nothing when i hear your name
when i’m gone i’m gone
you’ll never get me back again
it’s gonna stop or start
my on / off heart
the thing about an off heart
it thinks it’s so alone
don’t like small talk
needs a lightning strike
to hit it right
to make it turn back on
i guess i’ve got an on / off heart
when i said i loved you it was racing hard
and when i said i’m leaving
that was the space between the

i’m in for good or i give up

my heart is like a line in the sand
you’re never landing on the middle of it
it’s either gonna sink or swim
it’s either gonna feel everything
or feel nothing, nothing when it hears your name
when it’s gone it’s gone
you’ll never get it back again
it’s gonna stop or start
my on / off heart
i’m heels over head or not
i’m freezing cold or paradise hot
it’s either i believe or i don’t
i’m all in, i’m all in
or i feel nothing, nothing when i hear your name
when i’m gone i’m gone
you’ll never get me back again
it’s gonna stop or start
my on / off heart
the thing about an off heart
it thinks it’s so alone
don’t like small talk
