Honeybee
The Head and the Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you imagine where our lives would lead?
That silly ring, it wasn't meant to be
Luckily you saw in me
Something I couldn't see
Honeybee
I can't imagine how my life would be
If all your gravity did not hit me
Oh, don't you see?
Darling, my honeybee
But here we are
After all the messes and confessions
To the stars
That we never really owned as ours
And if our world comes tumbling down
I never could forgive myself for leaving out
You're the one
You are the only one
Such a fool
I took your love and I bent all the rules
You took the blow and didn't let it show
Stuck around to let me know
Built a family of our own
Look around
We made a garden of the love we found
So many reasons I would fight to stay
You're the courage when I fade
Take a look at what we've made
But here we are
After all the messes and confessions
To the scars
That we never really owned as ours
And if our world comes tumbling down
I never could forgive myself for leaving out
You're the one
You are the only one
Won't you decide?
Won't you decide?
I want you to soar
Don't doubt anymore
(Little by little, we meet in the middle)
Won't you decide? (What's your name?)
Won't you decide?
(I hope you can hear me, I needed you near me)
I want you to soar (you save my life)
Don't doubt anymore (let's keep this between you and I)
And if our world comes tumbling down
I never could forgive myself for leaving out
And if our world comes tumbling down
I never could forgive myself for leaving out
You're the one
You are the only one
And if our world comes tumbling down (the world comes tumbling down)
I never could forgive myself, I'll say it now (I never could forgive myself)
You're the one
You are the only one

Looking up, always.
For the person who gives me fireflies,
Remember the little game we played when I suggested this song? I've always thought you're unparalleled when it comes to music. It surprised me to hear how much you liked this song, if you’re ever listening to this while reading please do take time to let the lyrics sink in. Whenever I let the music find me, I always look for you between the lines. I search in every corner for words that whisper your name to me like a message in a bottle launched in an endless sea. I realized how much I wanted you to be the one I spend the rest of my life with, no matter how many setbacks and obstructions we encounter to get there. You’re the only one who can set my heart on fire, placing a million fireflies fluttering on my chest. Nothing else matters, for I have my eyes only for you. My body is a field of sunflowers and you know what you can do.
P.S. I miss the way my chest hurts when you get too close. I hope I get to feel it again soon.
