Whole Again
Atomic Kitten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring at the sky and dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry but you can make me whole again
And if you see me with another man laughing and joking
Doing what I can
I won't put you down, 'cause I want you around
You can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it since we've been apart
My friends make me smile if only for while
You can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again
For now I'll have to wait
But, baby, if you change your mind don't be too late
'Cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
But you can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Ooh, baby, you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Atomic Kitten's 2001 hit "Whole Again" is a song about heartbreak, longing, and the desire to be reunited with a lost love. The opening lines set the scene for the rest of the song, describing the singer as someone who is lost, wandering aimlessly through life. The line "It still makes me cry but you can make me whole again" suggests that the singer is still deeply affected by the breakup, but that the presence of the lost love would be enough to bring them back to life.
The chorus is where the song takes a hopeful turn, with the singer acknowledging that the presence of the lost love is the only thing that can make them feel whole again. The lines "Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape and I cannot forget, baby you're the one, you still turn me on, you can make me whole again" are particularly poignant, as they capture the nostalgia and longing that the singer feels for their lost love. The second verse reinforces this theme, with the singer acknowledging that time has only made the situation worse, and that their friends can only provide temporary distractions.
The final verse finds the singer pleading with their lost love to reconsider the breakup, noting that it may be too late but still hoping for a reconciliation. The repeated lines "looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape and I cannot forget, baby you're the one, you still turn me on, you can make me whole again" drive home the idea that this is a love that is at once in the past and still very much alive in the present.
Overall, "Whole Again" is a powerful and deeply emotional song that captures the complexities of love and heartbreak. Whether you're going through a breakup or just need a reminder of the power of love, this song is sure to resonate with you.

If you see me walking down the street
If you happen to witness me strolling on the pavement...
Staring at the sky and dragging my two feet
...looking up at the sky, with my feet scarcely scraping the ground...
You just pass me by
...you just ignore me...
It still makes me cry but you can make me whole again
...and even though it still causes me to tear up, you're the only one that can make me feel complete once more.
And if you see me with another man laughing and joking
But if you ever see me in the company of another man, grinning and giggling...
Doing what I can
...doing whatever it takes to move on...
I won't put you down, 'cause I want you around
...I won't badmouth you, because deep inside, I still yearn for your presence.
You can make me whole again
It's just you that can heal my brokenness, and make me whole again.
Looking back on when we first met
Reflecting back, to when we met...
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
...I can't avoid or erase the memories...
Baby, you're the one
...because you were the one...
You still turn me on
...that still ignites my passion, even after all this time...
Time is laying heavy on my heart
The passage of time bears weight on my heart...
Seems I've got too much of it since we've been apart
...it seems like there's too much of it since we separated...
My friends make me smile if only for while
My pals bring a smile on my face, but only for a short while...
You can make me whole again
...but you are the only one who can truly make me feel whole again.
For now I'll have to wait
For the moment, I'll have to be patient...
But, baby, if you change your mind don't be too late
...however, if changing your mind ever crosses your thoughts, don't wait too long...
‘Cause I just can't go on
...because I simply cannot go on like this...
It's already been too long
...it has been too long already.
Ooh, baby, you're the one
Oh, you know, honey, you are the one...
You still turn me on
...who continues to light my fire, even now...
You can make me whole again
...and it's just you that can make everything feel right again.

If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky
And dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry
But you can make me whole again
And If you see me with another man
Laughing and joking
Doing what I can
I won't put you down
'Cause I want you around
You can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it
Since we've been apart
My friends make me smile
If only for while
You can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole again
For now I'll have to wait
But baby if you change your mind
Don't be too late
'Cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
But you could make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Whoa - looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Oh baby you're the one, you still turn me on
You can make me whole again

If you see me walking down the street,
Staring at the sky and dragging my two feet,
You just pass me by,
It still makes me cry but you can make me whole again.
And if you see me with another man laughing and joking doing what I can,
I won't put you down, 'cause I want you around,
'cause you can make me whole again.
[Chorus:]
Looking back on when we first met,
I can not escape and I can not forget,
Baby, you are the one
You still turn me on,
You can make me whole again.
Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it since we've been apart,
My friends make me smile if only for while,
You can make me whole again.
[Chorus]
For now I'll have to wait,
But, baby, if you change your mind don't be too late,
'cause I just can't go on,
It's already been too long,
But you can make me whole again.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooo
[Chorus x2]
Ooh, baby, you're the one,
You still turn me on,
But you can make me whole again.
