Pieces of the People We Love Lyrics
My eyes like butterflies you caught 'em and they're open wide.
Clouded and hazy future clear whenever I'm with you.
Just think of all the things we could do to pass the time.
It's a walk in the park, it goes:
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day that we die.
And though our future's gone uncertain it's gonna be alright.
Cuz though I'm leaving longing leaves me ever by your side.
And all our time together is tearing me apart... I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart.
Don't even bother tryin' to tell me cuz you live a lie.
Cuz a moment or a minute I can see it through.
And have a precious little second of you by my side.
It goes:
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
In all the little pieces of the people that we keep inside.
Cuz you can do-make-say-think-laugh-sink-drink all night...
All the little visions all the little moments that we keep inside.
All our time together is tearing me apart... I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart.
This song makes me want to dance.
Wow, why does the Rapture not get the love? This song is awesome, and their shows rule, nothing but a giant dance party.
one of my favorite songs on the new(est) album. i almost always catch myself singing along.
I think I prefer Mattie's songs over Luke's, they're more wordy and danceable. But all of their songs are awesome and lots of fun.
such a good song :]
Such a happy song - very positive for the most part. They opened for Daft Punk last year in CO - Awesome!
mmm pretty good! very upbeat. smooth
meaning? i have no clue. hah

these guys are rip roaringly good.
i think this song is about different versions of ourselves that we hide from everyone else...
This is such a good song. I think this song is just a good old fashioned love song. The pieces of the people we love are the bits of them we hold in our heart (not literal "bits" but the more romantic, figurative "bits", like memories and love) If you have ever heard the term "my heart belongs to you" that is kinda what they are talking about here. My heart is a little piece of you that I keep inside.
Such a nice song
Seems like the natural progression of an initially lustful, but deeply connected relationship. There is a strong, magnetic, attraction, and little things from each partner brush off or are willfully imposed and stick to the other. The relationship ends after the realization and disillusionment phases, but they have accrued lingering 'pieces', that are meaningful and may draw reflection on the relationship, from the other person.
Just think of your past relationships- the pieces of expanded appreciation for something- art, music, movies, hobbies, whatever have you that you gained as a 'take-away' and a lasting piece of the relationship and the other person that had been in it with you.
