Where's Your Heart?
Reggie and the Full Effect Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where's your heart
It's the one I'm breaking
Who's the boy
With the piercing in his tongue

Where's my love
It's the one I'm thinking
Who's that boy
With the shimmer in his eye

Would it make a difference
To do it all again as a friend
Could we make it better
If we did it all again
And it still looks good to me

Wears that smirk
There's no time for asking
Who's the one
With the a-kin in his heart

Where's your heart
You're the one who's flaking
Never say
That I haven't even tried

Would it make a difference
To do it all again as your friend
Could we make it better
If we did it all again
And you still look good to me

(Put your hands in mine and you are mine)
Feel my hands there open
Put your hands in mine
(You'll know you're mine)
Take you away, show you the life
You'll ever see

(Tell me everything is fine, everything is fine)
Keep your eyes wide open
I can make them mine
(You'll know what I mean)
Everything's fine, don't be afraid

Where's you heart
It's the one I'm breaking
Who's the boy
With the piercing in his tongue

Where's my love
It's the one you're faking
Where's that boy,
With the shimmer in his eyes

Would it make a difference
To do it all again, as a friend
Could we make it better
If we did it all again

And it still looks good to me
Would it make a difference




To do it all again
And you still look good to me

Overall Meaning

The opening line, "Where's your heart, it's the one I'm breaking" sets the overall tone of the song as a broken-hearted, remorseful plea for forgiveness. The singer seems to be looking for answers and closure as they question the whereabouts of the other person's heart and the person they once knew. The line "Who's the boy with the piercing in his tongue" suggests that the singer is trying to move on, but can't seem to shake the image of their ex with someone new.


The chorus, with its repetitive questioning of "Would it make a difference to do it all again?" shows the singer's desperation for a second chance to make things right. They wonder if things could be better if they were to redo their past relationship as friends. The line "And it still looks good to me" portrays some nostalgia for their time together and the hope that maybe they could rekindle what was lost if given the chance.


The song concludes with the same question about the whereabouts of the other person's heart, revealing that despite trying to move on, the singer is still hanging on to the past and the love that was lost.
