Your Heart Is a Muscle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You gave my shirt back, I don't really get the meaning
It's like you're giving up before it all goes wrong
I've been told, but I don't really like the feeling
I've been away, I've been away too long

[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I wanna go wherever you are
I-I-I wanna be wherever you are
I-I-I wanna see whatever you are

[Chorus]
You say love's a fragile thing
Made of glass
But I think your heart is a muscle, your heart is a muscle
You gotta work it out, make it stronger
Try for me just a little longer
Your heart is a muscle, your heart is a muscle

[Post-Chorus]
It's times like this you must recall
Your heart is a muscle
It's times like this you must recall
Your heart is a muscle
If I could turn this plane around
I'd fly to where you are right now
Write your name into the sky
Hope that it will light up your eyes (Light up your eyes)
[Verse 2]
Wake the moon, we'll spend the night alone together
(Spend the night alone together)
You're a real good listener, but you don't have much to say
Wake up you, you won't pick up the phone, whatever
You're probably sleepin', I hope we're still okay

[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I wanna go wherever you are
I-I-I wanna be wherever you are
I-I-I wanna see whatever you are

[Chorus]
You say love's a fragile thing
Made of glass
But I think your heart is a muscle, your heart is a muscle
You gotta work it out, make it stronger
Try for me just a little longer
Your heart is a muscle, your heart is a muscle

[Post-Chorus]
It's times like this you must recall
Your heart is a muscle
It's times like this you must recall
Your heart is a muscle
If I could turn this plane around
I'd fly to where you are right now
Write your name into the sky
Hope that it will light up your eyes
If I could turn this plane around
I'd fly to where you are right now
Write your name into the sky
Hope that it will light up your eyes
[Chorus]
You say love's a fragile thing
Made of glass
But I think your heart is a muscle, your heart is a muscle
You gotta work it out, make it stronger
Try for me just a little longer
Your heart is a muscle, your heart is a muscle

[Post-Chorus]
It's times like this you must recall
Your heart is a muscle
It's times like this you must recall
Your heart is a muscle

[Outro]
If I could turn this plane around
I'd fly to where you are right now
Write your name into the sky
Hope that it will light up your eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

In November 2012, Carly was invited on the French radio NRJ with Cauet. During those radio shows, fans have the possibility to ask questions to their favorite celebrities.

A question was: “What inspired you to write Your Heart Is a Muscle?”
Carly’s answer was the following: “Well, I guess I was being away from home and my family and this past year has been amazing because it means a lot of travel, a lot of good things but I also felt like I miss them? And the idea of Your Heart Is a Muscle kept being kind like a mantra in my mind like “ok you can make it stronger”, and physically it’s a little more a bit of a thought but it’s also kind of a cool concept and I wanted to write a song based on strengthening the heart.”
