[Verse 1] First Christmas. Lights glow. Couple time. Soft, slow snow. Your text. My screen. “Come to my place.” Like some dream scene. Then— I press send. “Okay! Yeah!” “See you then.” My brain goes click-clack-boom. Christmas! His room! First time! [Pre-Chorus] I tell my friend with shaky cheer. My whole calm world turns bright and queer. She says, “They’re gone. His folks out of town.” Then my pulse. Then my breath. Then this thought crashing down. [Chorus] Heartquake, heartquake I can’t behave Heartquake, heartquake Christmas, our day Boyfriend’s living room What do I do? My thoughts turn red My knees turn glue Heartquake, heartquake I’m all in a spin Heartquake, heartquake What if we begin? (my brain goes zoop) (my chest goes tap) (one tiny night) and I might snap [Verse 2] Now we’re “us” for real. For weeks. I hold your hand and my future peaks. Winter shine street, bright-bright-glow. Shop windows hum like a movie snow. Every message. Every call. Counts down the hours ’til I cross that hall. I hug my scarf. I walk too fast. Too many pictures of this night at last. [Pre-Chorus] My best friend laughs and warns me, too. My brain replays it: “Just you two.” Too close. Too sweet. Too much, too new. This gentle love might change what I do. [Chorus] Heartquake, heartquake I can’t behave Heartquake, heartquake Christmas, our day Boyfriend’s living room What do I do? My thoughts turn red My knees turn glue Heartquake, heartquake I’m all in a spin Heartquake, heartquake What if we begin? (my brain goes zoop) (my chest goes tap) (one tiny night) and I might snap [Bridge] Tomorrow? Sparkling. Lip balm? Ready. Snowflakes? Falling. I’m scared. I’m thrilled. I’m yours now. I’m still— still not sure. But if you want this shy warm heart, I’ll keep on shaking right from the start. [Final Chorus] Heartquake, heartquake I can’t behave Heartquake, heartquake Christmas, our day Boyfriend’s living room What do I do? My thoughts turn red My knees turn glue Heartquake, heartquake I’m all in a spin Heartquake, heartquake What if we begin? (my brain goes zoop) (my chest goes tap) (one tiny night) and I might snap Heartquake, heartquake Clock’s almost six Heartquake, heartquake My hope and jitters
