Lyrics
[Chorus]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio (Yeah)
And turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up a little bit)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Right there, Gym Class Heroes, baby
[Verse 1]
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like yikky-yeah check it, Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
[PreChorus]
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
[Verse 2]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note (Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on)
Make me your radio (Uh-huh)
And turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
[Chorus]
Oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh
To my stereo
Oh, oh oh oh
So sing along to my stereo (Let's go)
[Verse 3]
If I was an old-school, fifty-pound boombox (Remember them?)
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops? (Turn it up)
And crank it higher every time they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know, we come and go like on the interstate (Never know)
[PreChorus]
I think I finally found a note to make you understand
If you could hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
[Chorus]
My heart's a stereo (Yeah)
It beats for you, so listen close (Listen)
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio (Come on)
And turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo (Sing along like)
[Chorus]
Oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh
To my stereo
Oh, oh oh oh
So sing along to my stereo
[Bridge]
I only pray you'll never leave me behind (Never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (So hard to find)
I'll take your hand and hold it closer to mine (Yeah)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
[Chorus]
My heart's a stereo (Yeah)
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
[Chorus]
Oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh oh
To my stereo
Oh, oh oh oh
So sing along to my stereo
[Outro]
Yeah
