[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

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
