Lirik lagu Heatstroke oleh Khalid menggambarkan rasa yang menggebu dirasakan oleh penyanyi. Dalam liriknya, Khalid menggunakan metafora heatstroke (kepanasan) dan supernova untuk menggambarkan keadaan emosi yang meningkat. Lagu ini juga mengangkat tema kerinduan dan kesulitan melepaskan kenangan musim panas. Inspirasi untuk lagu ini datang dari genre musik indie pop tahun 2010-an, dan Khalid bekerja sama dengan John Hill untuk menciptakan sesuatu yang autentik dan down to earth.
[Chorus]
What if I told ya the Sun is coming closer?
What a heatstroke, such a supernova, ah
Would you hold me close, right here on my shoulder?
It never feels like summer's really over, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
'Cause when it starts, I'm overwhelmed
No, I can't explain
And then the walls begin to melt
As it burns to the flames
And I recall the way I felt
No, I'll never be the same
No, I wouldn't be the same, ah
Ah
[Chorus]
What if I told ya the Sun is coming closer?
What a heatstrokе, such a supernova, ah
Would you hold me close, right hеre on my shoulder?
It never feels like summer's really over, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
'Cause when it starts, I'm overwhelmed
No, I can't ignore
In the end it's hard to tell
What we're all fighting for
Shall we sit here by ourselves
And let go, ah, ah
[Bridge]
So won't you tell me that we'll make it?
Tell me that we'll make it, tell me that we'll make it
Tell me that we'll make it
Thinkin' maybe we can save us
Maybe we can save this, maybe we can save this
Maybe we can save this, yeah
Even if we're fakin', even if we're fakin'
Even if we're fakin', even if we're fakin'
Thinkin' maybe we can save us
Maybe we can save this, maybe we can save this
Maybe we can save this
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
[Outro]
What if I told ya the Sun is coming closer?
What a heatstroke, such a supernova, ah
