Moving Parts
rich people Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I recall
I called you moving parts
Three years ago the truth and I stood far apart

But you let me talk
On long drives and longer walks
It's not so deep, played on repeat
And thoughts turn off

And we were all
Home songs spread far apart
I never knew if this would work or for how long
But we've come so far
And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart

Oh I've changed, I've changed
This distance grows away

So I borrowed some taste from Ty and Blake
And we made every mistake
I think we might have found a way
For unlike parts to cooperate

And we were all
Home songs spread far apart
I never knew if this would work or for how long
Oh, but we've come so far
And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart

Oh I've changed, I've changed
This distance grows away

So I borrowed some chords from Con
And I wrote my friends one song
So when we're far apart too long
We just press play sing along

And we were all
Home songs spread far apart
I never knew if this would work or for how long
Now, but we've come so far
And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart

Oh I've changed, I've changed
This distance grows away

As I recall
I called you moving parts
Three years ago the truth and I stood far apart

But you let me talk
On long drives and longer walks




It's not so deep, played on repeat
And thoughts turn off

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Moving Parts" by Rich People talk about the evolution of a relationship between two individuals. The singer recalls calling the other person "moving parts" three years ago when they were far from the truth. However, over time, they've come to communicate better and develop a deeper connection. As they embark on long drives and walks, they can turn their thoughts off and simply enjoy each other's company.


The song speaks to the growth of a relationship, the acceptance of mistakes, and the power of music to bridge distance. Rich People illuminates the way that music, as home songs spread far apart, can help people stay connected even when they're not physically close. The chorus repeats the idea that the greatest distance in a relationship is from the head to the heart, suggesting that true communication and love involves connecting on an emotional level, not just an intellectual one.


Overall, "Moving Parts" is a beautiful and heartfelt song about the journey of a relationship, the power of communication, and the role of music in bringing people together.


Line by Line Meaning

As I recall
Reflecting on the past


I called you moving parts
You were a puzzle piece in my life


Three years ago the truth and I stood far apart
I wasn't honest with myself


But you let me talk
You listened without judgment


On long drives and longer walks
We spent quality time together


It's not so deep, played on repeat
Our conversations were simple and familiar


And thoughts turn off
We found comfort in silence


And we were all
We all experienced this together


Home songs spread far apart
Our individual lives took us in different directions


I never knew if this would work or for how long
I was uncertain about our future


But we've come so far
We've grown and changed


And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart
Learning to trust and be vulnerable was the biggest hurdle


Oh I've changed, I've changed
I've undergone personal growth


This distance grows away
The physical distance between us doesn't matter anymore


So I borrowed some taste from Ty and Blake
I learned from others' musical styles


And we made every mistake
We stumbled and learned along the way


I think we might have found a way
We've figured out how to make our relationship work


For unlike parts to cooperate
Even though we're different, we work well together


So I borrowed some chords from Con
I drew inspiration from another artist


And I wrote my friends one song
I used music to stay connected with my friends


So when we're far apart too long
When distance threatens to pull us apart


We just press play sing along
We use music to bridge the gap
