The xx - Heart Skipped A Beat Lyrics

Artist: The xx

Album: XX

  • Songwriters: Romy Croft, Baria Qureshi, Oliver Sim, Jamie Smith

Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see I understand
But sometimes I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it
You were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it
You were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it
You were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it
You were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

What does this song mean to you?

    aside from begging. the first part is exactly how i feel. recently happened and honestly i still have hope. i don't know if this is me being a hopeless romantic or a crazy optimist, but i feel it's not my time to give up.

    First heard it while running with Pandora Radio. I was running to get my mind off things. It was right after I broke up with my Fiancee, we weren't happy, but we were so intertwined with our lives, it was difficult, and lonely, to adjust.

    Anyways, not to get sappy etc etc, but this is a damn good song, it seaks to me, like many others.

    i like someone, then we felt apart. he came back and he made sweet memories. he was my first kiss. i left my friends, and i gave him everything. but there was something that made us never been together. it was 2 years ago. he found someone better. now he's living a good life with her girlfriend. i'm so glad to hear that news. but still.. yeah "sometimes i still need you" thank you the xx. words can't describe how i love this song :')

    omg, to see how many people share my thoughts. My girl doubded her love and she broke up with me 3 days ago. it hurts like hell and this songs describes everything perfectly. thank you for making this song.
    and to everyone who has lost love, Days will be better, love again will fall on our paths. you must see love as a wave, growing to the moment of its most utter beauty and perfection, from where it will collapse and return to the sea, waiting to form a new wave.

    Pure brilliance...this song is seriously helping me get through a traumatic break up (not my decision).It's reassuring to know that other people experience the same hurt & somehow manage to get through it...Thank you The XX.

    love this song. the love of my life and i split a couple months ago, and once our relationship ended, this is exactly how it felt. lyrics are so pertinent and true.

    Waited 2 years for my ex boyfriend to love me as much as I loved him...and he never did. . . so just recently broke up (in fact this whole album) has really helped me get through it.

    Love it =)

    I guess I can relate so i get it. their lyrics are unbelievable. Its crazy to think what they are saying makes so much sense.

    I liked this guy, who led me on basically.
    I felt soo happy when we were kinda seeing each other,
    but then he got together with someone else :/
    and even though we are good friends, i still think about it. This song describes my situation perfectly :L

    the beat on the final half of the song matches a heartbeat, and thats undeniably genius!

    i felt a connection wif this guy
    but i knew he liked sumone else
    i told him how i felt
    but he didnt bother to acknowledge
    or perhaps he felt he wasnt rite for me
    this song is perfect

    I can't stop listening to this song. It hurts but it spells out exactly how i feel. finally i know what it feels like to have a relationship end when it's not my choice.

    Ahaha . Exactly how I feel. It's such a great song, not one of the deepest because of how obvious the meaning is, but still freaking awesome.

    this song has very obvious lyrics. But at the same time very powerful. A person is still hanging on to a relationship that the other has fully gotten over.

    so sad - to me its about knowing a relationship has ended but still wanting it to continue because you cant bare the thought of not being with person. you beg the other person to be with you even though u know you look pathetic to them b/c they have already moved on. :(

    I think this song is about unrequited love, something we have all felt before, painful as it may be.

    love this song... perfect for when two people can't get across how they feel for each other... afraid to be let down by the other.... we've all been there.
