Heart's Content Lyrics

Maybe you thought
I hung the moon
Maybe you thought
We were Johnny and June
Maybe we thought
It was just us two
Maybe we spoke too soon

We never lie
And we don't tell tales
We bite our tongues
And our fingernails
We fall in love
And we don't fall out
Maybe we speak too soon

Here's you and me
And in between, we draw a line
But we can't see where it's been
We scratch our heads
And race against the heart's content
Oh-oh, whoa, whoa, oh, yeah

Maybe we hurt who we love the most
Maybe it's all we can stand
Maybe we walk through the world as ghosts
Break my own heart before you can

Here's you and me
And in between, we draw a line
But we can't see where it's been
We scratch our heads
And race against the heart's content
Oh-oh, whoa, whoa, oh, yeah

Maybe we know how the story ends
Maybe it's not even about us
We both retreat to opposing sands
And the love lives on without us

One thing I know for sure is
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Here's you and me
And in between, we draw a line
But we can't see where it's been
We scratch our heads
And race against the heart's content
Oh-oh, whoa, whoa, oh

You and me
Oh-oh, whoa, whoa, oh
You and me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
You and me
Whoa, oh-oh, whoa, oh, yeah

What is the Meaning of Heart's Content?

This emotionally charged ballad explores the complexities and uncertainties of love. The lyrics suggest a relationship that's filled with both passion and doubt, where the couple has high expectations but also fears they might be moving too fast. They struggle to define their boundaries ("we draw a line but we can't see where it's been") and are constantly racing against their own emotions ("race against the heart's content"). Despite the challenges, there's an underlying belief that love will find a way. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of love - how it can bring immense joy and profound pain at the same time.
