a part of me you have
a part of me you hold
apart from me you stand
and there's parts that you had stole
littering in the cupboards
like some pieces of the puzzle
a nest just like a mother
the dampness of your sweater
it's never put together
as i watched you from the window
behind the curtains you turned
slowly as a teather
wrap around you tightly
this love is built in metal
fall around in shadows
...
it's never put together
it's never put together
behind the curtains you turned
fall slowly as a feather
the part of you i have
the part of you i hide
the parts of you i hold
the parts you left behind
call me
i'll be there always
and call me
i'll be there always
and call me
i'll be there always
call me
i'll be there always
call me
i'll be there always
part of me you have
a part of me you hold
apart from me you stand
and there's parts that you had stole
the part of you i have
the part of you i hide
the parts of you i stole
the parts you left behind

What is the meaning behind Inch Of Dust lyrics?
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, with its metaphors of puzzle pieces and winter shadows, Future Islands' 'Inch of Dust' tells the story of a complex and fragmented relationship. The lyrics of the song primarily convey emotions like love, heartbreak, reflection, angst and nostalgia, while at the same time, they dynamically argue about the necessity of fragmentation of self, incompleteness and longing as well as unconditional support. The lyrics are imbued with some adult themes and imagery, such as the notion of taking away parts of a person and concealing them, which might be unsuitable for children unless their parents are around to explain.
