One Heart Missing
Grace Potter The Nocturnals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It beats too slowly without you
You wanna know what we can be
But you won't give your love to me
Oh I'm calling your name but you won't listen
Oh if love is made for two,
Then there's one heart missing
One heart missing
Tonight the sky is burning blue
Horizon cuts right into you
You be the moon, I'll be the sea
And you can shine your light on me
Oh I'm crying your name but you won't listen
Oh tonight was made for two,
But there's one heart missing
One heart missing
Oh and I'ma follow you no matter when you run
I'm holding all the cards, there's only one
One heart missing
One heart missing
One heart missing
One heart missing

Line by Line Meaning
My lonely heart was made for two
My heart aches for someone to love and be loved in return
It beats too slowly without you
I feel incomplete and hollow without you
You wanna know what we can be
You want to explore what potential our relationship has
But you won't give your love to me
You are hesitant to fully commit and share your love with me
Oh I'm calling your name but you won't listen
I'm reaching out to you, but you are ignoring me
Oh if love is made for two,
Love is meant to be shared and experienced by both partners
Then there's one heart missing
Without your love, there is an emptiness in my life
Tonight the sky is burning blue
The night is alive and vibrant
Horizon cuts right into you
The horizon divides us and creates distance between us
You be the moon, I'll be the sea
We are two separate entities that can complement each other
And you can shine your light on me
You can illuminate my path and guide me
Oh I'm crying your name but you won't listen
I am emotional and desperate for your attention, but you still won't acknowledge me
Oh tonight was made for two,
This night would have been perfect for us to share together
But there's one heart missing
Unfortunately, I still feel incomplete and alone without you
Oh and I'ma follow you no matter when you run
I will always pursue you, even if you try to distance yourself from me
I'm holding all the cards, there's only one
I am fully invested in this relationship, but I can't make all the decisions alone
One heart missing
The absence of your love leaves me with a heavy heart
One heart missing
I still need you to complete me
One heart missing
The unbearable pain of being without you remains
One heart missing
The emptiness I feel inside will never be fully satisfied until you are mine
