In A Heartbeat Lyrics by Brandon Flowers
Me and Katie, we go all the way back to 1993
She was stubborn as a bull, she was beautiful to me
When you’re that age all you want is for to be women and men
But opened eyes get a front row glimpse into the end
She showed me the untouchable world
In the still of my backseat
And it happened in a heartbeat
Straight out of the blue
There was nothin’ anybody in the whole wide world could do
I found work to be a funeral
But it kept us all alive
Katie stayed home with the kids
We did it right
But if you don’t provoke and keep it fed
A burning love can fade
Like a fire left alone in the pit where it was made
And they tell you that it goes by fast
Buddy, hold on to your seat
‘Cause it happened in a heartbeat
Straight out of the blue
There was nothin’ anybody in the whole wide world could do
Empty dresser doors and cabinets
In a letter, she spoke her mind
She found something in somebody’s arms
She couldn’t find in mine
And it happened in a heartbeat
Straight out of the blue
There was nothin’ anybody in the whole wide world could do
And it happened
And it happened in a heartbeat
And it happened
And it happened in a heartbeat
