Part of My Plan
Discovering Love's Blueprint: Part of My Plan by Phillip Phillips
Lyrics
Now and then I go weeks on end without seeing you honey
Expresses the infrequency of seeing the person addressed as "honey."
And it kills me when
Highlights the emotional impact of the separation mentioned in line 1.
I can't sleep in this half cold empty bed
Conveys the emotional struggle of sleeping alone in a cold, empty bed.
Chasing down things I know now I'll always learn but could live without
Reflects on pursuing experiences that contribute to personal growth but may not be essential.
I've been thinking hard about who I am
Indicates a period of self-reflection and contemplation about personal identity.
You're the only part of my plan
Emphasizes the importance of the addressed person as the central and irreplaceable part of the singer's life plan.
You're the only part of my plan
-You're the only thing I'll ever really understand
-You're the only part of my plan
-People talk, and if I'm honest it crumble under the weight of all
Acknowledges the impact of societal opinions and pressure but implies resilience with the support of the addressed person.
But you pick me up, you build me up again
Expresses gratitude to the person for being a source of support and rebuilding the singer's confidence.
It took years to get us here, finally see little clear
Reflects on the time it took to reach a clear understanding of self and the relationship.
Now I know exactly who I am
Declares a newfound self-awareness facilitated by the presence of the addressed person.
You're the only part of my plan
Reiterates the central role of the addressed person in the singer's life plan and understanding.
You're the only part of my plan
-You're the only thing I'll ever really understand
-You're the only part of my plan
-So I'm gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
Conveys the determination to persevere and continue running, possibly metaphorical for facing life's challenges, with an upbeat and optimistic tone.
Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
-Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
-Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
-Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
-Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
-Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
-Gonna keep on running, keep on running, ooh
Repetition reinforces the commitment to persist and keep moving forward despite difficulties.
