Amazing
Cardle Matt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find exactly what it was you saw,
I had to put myself back in the firing line,
To take the shot that knocked me to the floor.
I was down, losing faith,
Oh I was lost in the crowd,
You brought me 'round.
How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightening,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the noise somehow.
I was pulling empty pales out of the wishing well,
Only holy water breaks the spell,
I had to pinch myself, 'cause I knew all too well,
The stairway to heaven always starts in hell.
I was down,
But somehow an angel heard my sound,
And brought me 'round.
How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightening,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the noise somehow.
Oh, and how did you see me?
Broke through the darkness,
And you reached me,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the strangers somehow.
Faith and little patience for this heart of mine,
Though I would stay here waiting 'til the end of time.
How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightening,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the noise somehow.
Oh, how did you see me?
Broke through the darkness,
And you reached me,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the strangers somehow,
Through all the strangers somehow, oh, somehow.
The lyrics to Cardle Matt's song "Amazing" explore the concept of finding oneself with the help of another person. The song speaks about the struggles and trials that the singer went through in order to understand themselves and their place in the world. It starts with the line "I had to look inside this fragile heart of mine, to find exactly what it was you saw," which highlights the self-exploration that the singer goes through. They go on to say that they had to "put themselves back in the firing line" and suffer through trials to figure themselves out.
Despite the struggles, the singer is grateful for the friend or lover that helped them through their troubles. The lines "How did you find me? You came out of nowhere like lightning," express the shock that the singer felt at being discovered and helped by someone they did not expect to find. The chorus repeats the idea that it is "kind of amazing" that this person found them and helped them through the noise and strangers that surrounded them.
The lyrics also explore themes of faith and hope. The singer has "little patience for this heart of mine" but is willing to wait "until the end of time" for the right person to come along. This represents a deep and abiding trust in the process of life and the belief that the right person will come to help them through their struggles.
Overall, "Amazing" is a song that explores the human need for connection and the fact that we are not meant to go through life alone. It reveals the power of friendship and love to help us discover and rediscover ourselves, even in the midst of life's difficult moments.

Funny because we all found this song through social media coverage on the lawsuit
@newpianotutorials
I feel sorry for Matt Cardle here - he's getting all of the hate when he was just the singer. It's not him making the lawsuit, it's the songwriters.
@crystal-zl4oj
Exactly.
@severalgotthatname6356
NPT Music Thank you. Unbelievable how dumb people are
@ananthshiva9042
the writers did the right thing ! its obviously blatantly similar
@gordeevious
But also how can you hate the guy whose song came out first? LOL. People are crazy, makes no sense. The songwriters have substantial enough reason to file this lawsuit. The choruses are the same.
@xooperz
Yeah especially when it's clearly plagiarized
@kantanattechawiboonsak4141
Even though I’m commenting as an Ed Sheeran fan, I still can’t help but admire this song. The guy is AMAZING
@Yoforeveryoung377
Es la mejor
@logana5479
Same, massive Ed Sheeran fan here - I initially came to Amazing to see for myself just how similar Amazing and Photograph were and I came out with another favourite song - both songs are.. amazing
@andressaalcantara909
A melodia do refrão é muito semelhante a Photograph. Realmente não tem como não lembrar das duas canções como se fossem uma só.
