Other Half of You
Embracing Vulnerability: Becoming the Other Half of You
Lyrics
My mind is racing and it's chasing all these feelings away
Expresses a racing mind, attempting to push away overwhelming emotions.
Been up for hours and hours and fighting sleep to stay awake
Struggling to stay awake, possibly avoiding something through sleep.
You're on my mind
The person in question is a constant presence in the narrator's thoughts.
It's such blessing and burden when I feel this much
Describes the intense mix of joy and burden when feeling deeply.
Try to keep it all together but I'm losing touch again
Attempting to hold things together, but a sense of losing control.
It's so hard
Expressing the difficulty of the situation.
Cuz I'm terrified with what's inside
Reveals fear or apprehension about the emotions held within.
Scared of feeling so alive
Fear of feeling too alive, suggesting an overwhelming intensity.
Cuz all I ever want to do
The narrator expresses a desire related to the person in their thoughts.
Is be the other half of you
The ultimate desire is to be the missing part in the other person's life.
It makes me manic and panic in every single way
The impact of emotions on mental state, causing anxiety and panic.
It's like I never find the phrases or the words to say to you
Struggling to find the right words to express feelings to the person.
But I won't let go, whoa
Despite difficulties, the narrator refuses to let go.
I'm still believing that someday I'll have it figured out
Hopeful for a future where understanding and clarity are achieved.
Work up the courage to tell you that you're the only one for me
Gathering courage to confess that the person is the only one for them.
You're all I need, you're all I need
Reaffirmation of the person's importance and necessity.
Cuz I'm terrified with what's inside
Reiteration of fear regarding internal emotions.
Scared of feeling so alive
Fear of the overwhelming sensation of being alive.
Cuz all I ever want to do

Beating heart don't fail me now
A plea to the narrator's heart not to fail in the midst of emotional turmoil.
I'll make it last with you somehow
Expressing determination to make the relationship endure.
Cuz all I ever want to do
Reiteration of the core desire to be the missing part for the other person.
Is be the other half of you
Reaffirming commitment to never say goodbye.
