Interview Part 2
McFly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
You're why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give

She sits alone
On her phone and she's calling about a broken heart
And I don't know what I should say 'cause she's crying
And feels as though she's thrown it all away
She won't last another day

You're climbing the stairs
Unaware that she's hurting bad and lying very still on the floor by the door
But it's locked and she was hoping you would come back for more
But it's too late to realize you've made mistakes

She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
You're why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give

Please save me
I've been waiting
Been aching for too long

She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
You're why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give





Please save me
I've been waiting

Overall Meaning

for too long


The lyrics to McFly's "Part 2" depict a sad and desperate situation of a girl who cannot stop thinking about a guy whom she loves deeply that has hurt her. The song speaks from the perspective of someone who sees her sadness and empathizes with her. The opening lines indicate that the girl has become so fixated on the guy that she falls asleep and thinks and dreams only about him. She breathes and lives for him, and without him, she feels she has nothing else to give. The verses suggest that the guy has hurt her by either breaking her heart or leaving her, and she spends her time on the phone, crying, and feeling depressed. The chorus repeatedly asks the guy, imploringly, to save her and that she's been waiting for him for too long, making it evident that she's desperate to get him back into her life, and without him, she cannot think of living.


The imagery of the song is quite vividly depicted - the girl lies still on the floor near the door, hoping that the guy would come back to her, but it's too late for him to realize his mistakes. The lyrics suggest that the guy is unaware of her pain and still climbing the stairs, while the girl's condition is weakening every passing minute. The song's emotional tone is heavy, and the lyrics attempt to convey the girl's deep emotions using intense and vivid descriptions like "aching too long" and "not got that much more to give."
