Say
One Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think you can find it
Did you trade it for something, somewhere
Better just to have it
Do you know where your love is
Do you think that you lost it
You felt it so strong but nothings
Well bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you wont let go
Of anything you hold
Well all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you know what your fate is
And are you trying to shake it
You're doing your best and
You're best look
You're praying that you'll make it
Well bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you wont let go
Of anything you hold
Well all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Said all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Better than you have it
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Better than you have it
Better than you have it
Said all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Said all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you know where the end is
Do you think you can see it
Until you get there
Go on
Go ahead and scream it
Just say?

The song begins by posing the question, "Do you know where your heart is?," asking the listener if they have a clear understanding of their own desires and passions. The lyrics go on to express the idea that sometimes we trade our hearts and our love for "something, somewhere better," perhaps making choices or sacrifices that ultimately leave us feeling unfulfilled.
The chorus of the song repeats the simple phrase, "All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head," emphasizing the idea that despite our search for satisfaction and purpose, sometimes the most basic necessities are all that really matter. The second verse continues to explore the themes of destiny and the search for purpose, asking if we know what our fate is and expressing the desire to overcome obstacles and "make it" in life.
Overall, the lyrics to "Say" convey a sense of longing and questioning, as the singer encourages listeners to examine their own hearts and motivations in life.

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted
Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
'Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best dance,
Your best look
You're praying that you make it
Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
'Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
(say) all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (better than you had it)
(say) all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
(say) all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you know where the end is?
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say...

Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong but nothings,
Turned out how you want it.
These lyrics hit me so deeply.
I knew it, my feelings towards someone is not reciprocated.
It feels like I was being stupid all this time, holding expectations on how things turned out.
But why I still find myself excited to know all the commons things that we like?
Maybe, it's not the right time to like someone that a stranger.
It's time to let go a crushed feeling that have been a burden.
I still have my family; my mom and my brother to be loved, to be cared about.
Their smile is all I need.
