[Intro]
"My God, are we gonna be like our parents?"
"Not me...ever"
"It's unavoidable, it just happens."
"What happens?"
"When you grow up, your heart dies."
"Who cares?"
"I care."

[Verse 1]
Walking out into the dark
Cutting out a different path
Lead by a beating heart
All the people of the town
Cast their eyes right to the ground
In matters of the heart

[Pre-Chorus]
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path up on the ground
You run into the night you can't be found

[Chorus]
This is your heart
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Summer evening breezes blew
Drawing voices deep from you
Lead by a beating heart
What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart

[Pre-Chorus]
The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path up on the ground
You run into the night you can't be found

[Chorus]
This is your heart
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Oh, I feel overjoyed
When you listen to my words
I feel them sinking in
Oh, I see them crawling underneath your skin

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
