The Heinrich Maneuver Lyrics

How are things on the west coast?
I hear you're moving real fine
You wear those shoes like a dove
Now strut those shoes, we'll go roaming in the night

Well, how are things on the west coast?
You keep it moving to your soul's delight
Now I've tried the brakes
I tried, but you know it's a lonely ride

How are things the west coast?
Oh, I'd move Heaven behind those eyes

Today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
But I don't want to take your heart
And I don't want a piece of history
No, I don't want to read your thoughts anymore
My god
'Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings

How are things on the west coast?
Hear you're moving real fine tonight
You wear those shoes side-to-side
Ah, strut those shoes, we'll go roaming in the night
Well, how are things on the west coast?
Yeah, but you're an actress and I don't identify

Today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
Say it
But I don't want to play the part
And I don't want a taste of victory
No, I don't want to read your thoughts anymore
My God
'Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings

Say it
'Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings

Let it come
'Cause I've got a chance for a sweet, sane life
I said, I've got a dance, and you'll do just fine
Well, I've got a plan with forward in my eyes
Let it come
Well, I've got a chance for a sweet, sane life
I said, I've got a dance, it moves into the night
Well, I've got a plan with forward in my eyes

But today my heart swings

What is the Meaning of The Heinrich Maneuver?

This track delves into the complexities of a long-distance relationship, particularly one that has ended. The lyrics suggest a struggle between moving forward and being pulled back by lingering feelings. The repeated question "How are things on the west coast?" signifies the distance both physically and emotionally between two people. The line "Today my heart swings" symbolizes fluctuating emotions, while expressing a desire to not be part of another's history or thoughts anymore indicates an attempt at detachment. Yet, the speaker still holds onto hope for a "sweet, sane life", showing an internal battle between holding on and letting go. #LongDistance #Heartbreak #MovingOn #EmotionalStruggles
