Bigger Picture
Puppet & Foria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fourteen more hours away
You thought I wasted the day
I tried to just get by
But I canโ€ฒt hide what's right in front of me
High tide got nothing to say
Might drown but Iโ€ฒll show up anyway
I can't stay away
Tell me you've found me
No matter how far I go, it moves around me
I found my place in the world tell me youโ€ฒve found me

The fault lines
This empty feeling
We have what distance breaks
For your sake time I start healing
These hard times
The backdrop peeling
Standing across the sea,
Donโ€ฒt look down plates start shifting

The sudden silence after seeing whats become of me
Ask me why that just happens when you don't believe
If I could have my way youโ€ฒd be here
Today but even next to me you're a ways away

Tape off the memories but its time that starts the overflow
Iโ€ฒm gonna miss this
I know

Tell me you've found me




No matter how far I go, it moves around me
I found my place in the world tell me youโ€ฒve found me

Lyrics:
Fourteen more hours away
You thought I wasted the day
I tried to just get by
But I can't hide what's right in front of me
High ten, got nothing to say
Why tell when I'll show up anyway?
I can't stay away (can't stay away)
(Tell me you found me)
(Tell me you-)

Tell me you found me
No matter how far I go
It lives around me
I found my place in the world
Tell me you found me
(Tell me you found me)

They're full of lies
This empty feeling
We have what distance breaks
For your sake, so I'll start leaving
These hard times
They're backed on delay
Standing across the sea
Don't look down, the winds are shifting
(Don't look down, the winds are shifting)
(The winds are shifting)

Discerning silence after seeing what's become of me
Ask me why; that just happens when you don't gonna leave
If I could have my way, you'd be here today
But even next to me, you're a ways away

See past your worries
But it's time that starts the overflow
I'm gonna miss this, but I know
(Hey)
(Tell me you found me)
(Tell me you f-)

Tell me you found me
No matter how far I go
It lives around me
I found my place in the world
Tell me you found me
Tell me you found me (found me) :D

Don't look down; the plates start shifting
