Stop Beating
Struggling Heartache: Yearning for Liberation in Lisa Miskovsky's 'Stop Beating'
Lyrics
So sad, have to say it you're on my mind
Expressing sadness that the person is on the singer's mind.
I'm not used to be called the worrying kind
Not accustomed to being labeled as someone who worries.
I wanted to go to New York, but you brought me here
Desire to go to New York, but the person brought the singer elsewhere against their wish.
I won't let you go, not ever, I fear
Commitment to not letting go of the person, fearing their departure.
Sad to say but we're running out of time
Feeling that time is running out in the relationship.
(running from the limelight)
Escaping from public attention or fame.
Will I ever call you lover of mine?
Questioning whether the person will become the singer's lover.
I'm keeping my head up, keep my eyes up
Determined to stay positive and vigilant in searching for the person.
I'm trying hard to find you
Struggling to locate the person.
(wherever is fine now)
Being open to finding the person anywhere.
Even if you're far away, you'll always be near
Feeling emotionally close despite physical distance.
Wherever I go
Uncertainty about where the singer goes.
Wherever I sleep
Uncertainty about where the singer sleeps.
Whatever you say
Openness to hearing the person's words or opinions.
If you can't make it, I'm on my way
Willingness to go to the person's aid if they can't arrive themselves.
Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
Repeated questioning of the ability to stop loving the person and move on.
Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-And walk away, And walk away
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-And walk away, And walk away
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-And turn away, And turn away
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-Can I tell my heart to just stop beating
-And turn away, And turn away
-Just turn away
Reiterating the struggle to turn away from the person.
Just turn away
-Just turn away
