A Heartbeat

[Verse 1: Daniel Young]
Since there was a VIC Swim Certificate in our hands
I recall that we swam in that pool without a thought for any of your plans
Now here I stand like that man in a pair of Speedo’s
And yeah we know it doesn’t take much just to make a splash
Don’t need to tell us that, just tell me that the flow is going long-distance
Wanna know we got some strong swimmers on our side
My mind in a somersault, spinning out on what it might be like to be a Dad
Not everyone get the result that they wanted, we do know that right?
Can only try, minutes going by, and don’t we know it
The waves come and go, and this like one long slow-motion dive into the ocean
Even though I don’t really know if I’m ready, we want it so... much
Like IVF for the one up
Won't you come up for air?
We got some oxygen supply for when you arrive, waiting right here for ya

[Chorus: Elly Poletti & Janie Gordon]
Heartbeat
Do you feel the heartbeat? Can you feel the heart beating on?
Heartbeat
Do you feel the heartbeat? Can you feel the heart beating on?

[Verse 2: Daniel Young]
Think I see a hand, 20-week scan, gonna need a plan
Is this what they meant when they said, "Be a man"?
And read up on it, you can just relax in that amniotic sack
And know that we have got it
Your Mother walking out of the Hume Council Office
She’s the one that I wanted, she could’ve had countless other offers
But somehow, I was the one
And now it's all about what’s to come when the water breaks
And with a wave, they say that it will all change

[Chorus: Elly Poletti & Janie Gordon]
Heartbeat
Do you feel the heartbeat? Can you feel the heart beating on?
Heartbeat
Do you feel the heartbeat? Can you feel the heart beating on?

[Post-Chorus: Elly Poletti, Janie Gordon and Daniel Young]
Thought we knew what love was
But this some whole other shit
Ever since we discovered it
It's on, it's on
Thought we knew what love was
But this some whole other shit
Ever since we discovered it
It's on, it's on
