Amazing
Foxes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Do what you want)
(Do what you want)
(Do what you want)
When I look at you the drums all start beating
And I just don't know if I'm ready or not, to do it all again
It keeps on letting me down
I know, with you, tonight could be amazing
Be amazing
I'm scared, to death, still I stood here waiting
Here waiting
Do what you want
(Do what you want)
Take a hold of me
(Do what you want)
'Cause my heart keeps saying
(Do what you want)
That you're all I need
(Do what you want)
With a touch, you bring me back to life
I'm rising
And I don't even know if I'll survive, but I'm all in
See, I got a wild heart and I can't control it
It keeps on letting me down
I know, with you, tonight could be amazing
Be amazing
I'm scared, to death, still I stood here waiting
Here waiting
Do what you want
(Do what you want)
Take a hold of me
(Do what you want)
'Cause my heart keeps saying
(Do what you want)
That you're all I need
(Do what you want)
Should be running away tonight
Should be finding a place to hide
But I'm starting to feel alive
And I know, with you, tonight could be, oh
Should be running away tonight
Should be finding a place to hide
But I'm starting to feel alive
I know, with you, tonight could be, oh
I know, with you, tonight could be amazing
Be amazing
I'm scared, to death, still I stood here waiting
Here waiting
Do want you want (Do what you want)
Oh, my heart keeps telling me (Take a hold of me)
Do what you want
Oh, my heart keeps telling me ('Cause my heart keeps saying)
Do what you want
Oh, my heart keeps telling me (That you're all I need)
Do what you want
Do what you want
Do what you want
All my heart keeps saying now
Do what you want
All my heart keeps saying now
Do what you want
All my heart keeps saying now
Do what you want
All my heart keeps saying now
The song "Amazing" by Foxes is about taking a chance on love, even if it scares you. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past and has a "wild heart" that they can't control, but they're willing to put themselves out there again with this person. The singer is scared but feels alive, and they believe that tonight could be amazing with this person. The phrase "Do what you want" is repeated throughout the song, which could be interpreted as a message to the other person to take the lead and show the singer the way, or it could be interpreted as an affirmation to the singer themselves to follow their heart and take a chance on this person.
The drumbeat that is mentioned in the first verse could represent the singer's heartbeat, which quickens when they see this person. The repetition of the phrase "Do what you want" throughout the song could also represent the singer's internal struggle between wanting to let go and follow their heart, and the fear of getting hurt again. The repeated use of the phrase "Tonight could be amazing" emphasizes the idea that the singer is unsure of what's going to happen, but they're willing to take the risk anyway.
Overall, "Amazing" is a song about vulnerability, taking risks, and the unknown. It's about trusting your instincts and following your heart, even if it terrifies you.

When I look at you the drums all start beating
When I see you, my heart beats faster
And I just don't know if I'm ready or not, to do it all again
Unsure if I can handle another relationship
See, I got a wild heart and I can't control it
I'm impulsive and emotional
It keeps on letting me down

Being with you could be incredible
Be amazing
