about

I wrote this song in 2008 after moving back to my hometown from Maryland. I had been writing a lot of very acoustic tunes and this was the first "electronic" song I had devised at that point. The first demo was cut with Ryan Rusch in May of 2008 with the vocalist Heidi Howes, but after two years, we decided to update the arrangement and try a different vocalist.

lyrics

DUELING HEARTS
(N. Parent)

Would you answer the phone if the caller I.D. didn't show my name?
I'm not sure if it'd matter anymore.
Oh, is it cliche to admit that, perhaps, I have been wrong?
You left me standing outside the door.

And, oh, now I know what's been done.
Some things just can't be sung. So, now I'll…

Give my heart away, I wanna give mine.
I'm gonna give my heat away, I've gotta give my
I wanna give my heart away, I'm gonna give mine.
I want to give my heart away, I've just got to give mine.

I want you to know, I just need to be alone sometimes,
but I'm afraid you won't understand.
I'll make it up, just make it up, we'll make it up, let's make it up tonight.
Don't start a fight, I will not fight. We're out of time to make it right.
But, I can't…

Give my heart away, I won't give mine.
I just can't give my heart away, I won't give mine.
I won't give my heart away, I can't give my.
I can't give my heart away, I won't give mine.

If you're not feeling right, tell me now, oh, please, just let me know.
(Darling, I'm trying to find the words so I don't let you down.)
I'm here. (You're there.) You're crying, "Unfair!" (Unfair)
Oh, please, don't ever go!
(But, now I have to go)

I wanna give my heart away
(I can't give my heart away)
