Face To Face
Fighter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before we tell them face to face?
Why are we lieing when so many are losing the race?
And how many nights will we say it's alright
And justify out state of mind?
Why don't we hear them?
How can we be so blind?
With so many lost, how many will we find?
(Chorus)
Tell the one that you know, Tell the one that you love
Tell the one in your arms, it's them
You're thinkin' of
Tell the one on the street
And everyone you meet
Face to face
And how long will it be 'til we've planted a seed
In a heart that will not mend?
Is it really to much, all they need is a touch from a friend
And how short is your love, and do you have enough
To make a dying world believe?
Are we true to our hearts, are all of us sincerely deceived?
I can't take it anymore, are those eyes looking at me?
(Repeat Chorus)
Tell the one in your car, That he'll never get far
Tell the one on the bus
He's like the rest of us
Tell the one on the street
And everyone you meet
Face to face

Tell the one that you know, Tell the one that you love
Inform your acquaintances and your loved ones,
Tell the one in your arms, it's them
Tell the person you embrace that they have your undivided attention and care
You're thinkin' of
And that you are considering their feelings and experiences
Tell the one on the street
Inform those who seem lost and vulnerable that you are there for them
And everyone you meet
And every individual you come across
How long will it be 'til we've planted a seed
How much time will it take for us to make a difference and have an impact?
In a heart that will not mend?
In one's weary and broken heart?
Is it really to much, all they need is a touch from a friend
Is it too much to ask, when all they truly need is the support and care of a companion?
And how short is your love, and do you have enough
How brief is our capacity for kindness and empathy, and are we able to offer enough of it?
To make a dying world believe?
To make the world realize that there is still hope for growth and progress?
Are we true to our hearts, are all of us sincerely deceived?
Are we being authentic with our feelings, or are we all simply pretending?
I can't take it anymore, are those eyes looking at me?
I simply cannot bear this any longer, am I being observed by those who need my help?
Tell the one in your car, That he'll never get far
Inform the driver next to you that they will not reach their destination by being selfish
Tell the one on the bus
Inform the passenger occupying the adjacent seat
He's like the rest of us
That they are like all of us humans, and need care from others
Tell the one on the street
Tell the person walking alone and aimlessly
And everyone you meet
And every other person you cross paths with
Face to face
And do it all in a direct and honest manner
