Part Of You
Foxes and Peppers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See it fleeting like the wind overcast, turn away
Wait, can you hear it coming back
I am pleading with the range overturned, far from here
Taken from these writings
Growing from this page
If there was any indication I missed it
Like I missed
Every chance to hold you close
I can't handle what you are to me
If you could understand what this means to me oh
I want to, I want to, oh be a part of you
Now, if I had something to give
What could you possibly lack so complete, blemish-less
Hard to breathe and my lungs are straining
But you haven't heard me complaining yet 'cause I'm here
Un-alone reading from your writings
Turning every page if there was any hesitation I missed it
I missed it. Like I missed...
Every chance to hold you close
I can't handle what you are to me
If you could understand what this means to me oh
I want to, I want to, oh be a part of you
Walking out and I look up
There's no difference to me If it was all coincidental
Or if there's some kind of plan that may or may not differ
From the plan that I'd been dreaming
Up for myself all along so I could have...
Every chance to hold you close
I can't handle what you are to me
If you could understand what this means to me oh
I want to, I want to, oh be a part of you
Every chance to hold you close
I can't handle what you are to me
If you could understand what this means to me oh
I want to, I want to, oh be a part of you

Now, if I just had something left
If only there was still something that I could give or offer
See it fleeting like the wind overcast, turn away
I see it disappearing quickly like a gust of wind, and it's avoiding me
Wait, can you hear it coming back
I am hoping that it's returning to me, can you hear it too?
I am pleading with the range overturned, far from here
I am requesting the impossible, from a distant and unreachable place
Taken from these writings
This inspiration and desire is coming from your words and expressions
Growing from this page
These words are giving birth to a passion within me
If there was any indication I missed it
Like I missed
If there was any hint or sign, I may have missed it like I did before
Every chance to hold you close
At every opportunity, I want to be close to you and hold you tight
I can't handle what you are to me
You mean too much to me, and I am overwhelmed by my feelings
If you could understand what this means to me oh
I wish you could comprehend how much this all means to me
I want to, I want to, oh be a part of you
I crave to be a part of you, to be intertwined with you
Hard to breathe and my lungs are straining
I am struggling to breathe, and my chest feels tight and heavy
But you haven't heard me complaining yet 'cause I'm here
Despite the difficulties, I haven't given up or complained because I am still here
Un-alone reading from your writings
Reading your works makes me feel connected to you, even though we are physically apart
Turning every page if there was any hesitation I missed it
I missed it. Like I missed...
I am devouring every word and expression of yours, and I am afraid I may miss something important, just like I have done before
Walking out and I look up
I step outside and gaze up at the sky
There's no difference to me If it was all coincidental
To me, it wouldn't matter if everything was the result of chance or coincidence
Or if there's some kind of plan that may or may not differ
And even if there is a grander scheme or plan, I am open to it being different from my own aspirations
From the plan that I'd been dreaming
Up for myself all along so I could have...
Because all I ever wanted was to be near you and hold you close
Every chance to hold you close
I can't handle what you are to me
If you could understand what this means to me oh
I want to, I want to, oh be a part of you
I want to be close to you, I can't contain my feelings for you, and I wish you could feel the same way so that we could be together
