Knockin' Heart Songtext
von Hamilton Leithauser

Higher than the peaks in the skyline
Just blazing all the way home tonight over you
Oh, there′s no one who's gonna love you like I do tonight

From the courtship to the chapel
From the branches to the apple
To the elegy in the bone yard
You′ll be knockin' in my heart
You'll be knockin′ in my heart

I′m fading like a firefly in the autumn
Just dying all the way home tonight over you
Oh, there's no one who′s gonna need you like I do tonight


From the barnyard to the bullfight
From the bleachers to the spotlight
From the factory to the junkyard
You'll be knockin′ in my heart
You'll be knockin′ in my heart (oh, yeah)

Someone to call you when you turned off all your friends
Someone to bug you when your life makes too much sense
There's no one who's gonna love you like I do in the end

From the lighthouse to the box ships
From the old folks to the grandkids
To the portrait in the bell jar
You′ll be knockin′ in my heart
You'll be knockin′ in my heart
