The enigmatic title track of And In the Darkness, Hearts Aglow is Weyes Blood’s attempt to recapture time.
Accompanying a dreamy fairground tempo, her sensitive plea rises and descends like the Ferris wheel as she observes a blurry idyll from a high vantage point and deeply yearns to return to that...
[Intro]
Oh, hearts aglow
We don't know where we're going
Looking for love in all the wrong places
We don't know where our love has gone
[Verse 1]
I was so bored, take me to the water, babe
Show me what it's like to be yours
'Cause I was so bored, take me to the water
I'd give anything to hang
I've been without friends, oh, I've just been working
For years and I stopped having fun
Oh, but, baby, you're the only one
Who'll drive me down to the pier
Takе me up on that ferris wheel
[Chorus]
Oh, hearts aglow
Wе don't know where we're going
We just keep getting higher
Hearts aglow
You can't control hearts aglow
I'm staring at that black water down below
Knowing I could fall if I let go
Hearts aglow
[Verse 2]
Might be the moon or the cotton candy
Or it might be a man
Who actually understands me
'Cause it's been a death march
The whole world is crumbling
Oh, baby, let's dance in the sand
'Cause I've been waiting for my life to begin
For someone to light up my heart again
And in the darkness, I can guide you in
We're rising over the tide
Up on the ferris wheel at night
[Chorus]
Oh, hearts aglow
We don't know where we're going
We just keep getting higher
Hearts aglow
You can't control hearts aglow
I'm staring at that black water down below
Knowing I could fall if I let go
[Bridge]
Rising over the tide
Oh, hold me tight
I'm scared I might fall
Just like the water below
You don't get to know if your love has all
It's gonna take
[Outro]
Oh, hearts aglow
We don't know where we're going
Oh, hearts aglow
We don't know where we're going
