I see our stars tonight
Do you recall that light
Or do you ever think of me
And in your world somewhere

Do memories rip and tear
The ones that always keep you hangin on
To all that might have been
And I love you now

And I hate you now
And I miss you most of all
All those times we laughed
The scars that you left

Still I miss you most of all
And by the waters side
The tall grass where we lied
The nights we cried ourselves to sleep

Most septembers now
I break down somehow
Rememberin all we said
And all those dreams we never got to see

(chorus)

Are you somewhere
Without a care
Or are you as alone as I am
Did you ever make it home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fuel’s song Most Of All express the feelings of longing and missing someone. The singer starts off by talking about stars, and questioning whether the person he is singing about recalls that light. He goes on to ask if they ever think of him, and wonders if their memories of him are painful, the ones that always keep them “hangin on, to all that might have been”. The singer then admits his feelings saying, “And I love you now, And I hate you now, And I miss you most of all”. The chorus repeats this sentiment, and asks if the person he misses so much is somewhere “without a care”, or if they are “as alone as I am”, wondering if they ever made it home.

The lyricist is conveying a feeling of nostalgia and reminiscing about the past. He speaks of the times they laughed, and the scars that person left, indicating there were happy times as well as painful ones. The tall grass where they lay and the nights they cried themselves to sleep are also mentioned. The use of “Most septembers now” adds a melancholy feeling, and the line “all those dreams we never got to see” shows regret and sadness for what could have been. The song ends with a final query, wondering if the person ever made it home.

Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of loss coupled with affection, and the emotions of the singer are expressed poetically through the verses.
