Floorplan Lyrics
I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart
I want to give directions, helpful hints, what you'll be looking for I know, I hold this loss in my heart forever All eyes are on me now I want your lungs to stop working without me I think about writing you, I thought about calling you What was I looking for? What am I looking for? I know, I hold this pain in my heart forever I shouldn't go but I cant really help it when I feel this pressure I shouldn't go when I feel this building

I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart
I want to give directions, helpful hints

I know I'll hold this loss in my heart forever
I know I'll hold I'll hold

she knew she "shouldn't go" but felt the pressure of a relationship and bolted and for leaving all eye on her, it's her fault it's over, she ruined a good thing.
but she did want it so much she wished she would draw her lover a floorplan to her head and heart so she'd be tamed, so to speak.

It seems to me that this song is about remembering a loss of a relationship, forever.
No matter what, she will never forget what happened. And possibly what went wrong?
And she wants to draw this person a "floorplan" to show her that she is sorry... maybe? LOL.

The line, "I want your lungs to stop working without me," suggests that she wants them to need her, to not be able to breathe without her.
Though, although she wants this, she is too scared or shy to actually go for it. She won't say what she really wants or how she really feels even though it brings her pain to hold it in. She knows she shouldn't walk away from it, but she will.
It could definitely be about a break up as well, but I like this interpretation.

i think it's about wanting someone to want you, to need you. but you don't want to tell them how you feel, you want them to just know.
ah, so familiar.

i thought it was about someone who got out of a relationship that they wanted to keep going, but they just want the other person to understand how they're feeling. and they want to talk to the other person, but they just cant make themself do it.
and yeah, they want the other person to want them as badly as the person who's singing wants them.
i know these feelings too well.

Let me explain:
"I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart
I want to give directions, helpful hints
what you'll be looking for
what you'll be looking for"
- This could be referring to telling your ex how you still feel (I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart), how you still want to be there for them (I want to give you directions helpful hints), and how you'll do better the second time around if they take you back (what you'll be looking for).
"I know, I hold this loss in my heart forever"
- Could be referring to how you regret breaking it off with your ex, or about how you're still deeply hurt.
"All eyes are on me now"
- People are paying careful attention to your current relationship.
"I want your lungs to stop working without me
I think about writing you, I thought about calling you"
- You want your ex to feel like they made a mistake by losing you (I want your lungs to stop working without me), yet you still try and make an effort to communicate with them because even though you're deeply hurt (I think about writing you, I think about calling you)
"What was I looking for?
What am I looking for?"
- The person is unsure about what they want at the current moment, and they're contemplating about the wanted in the first place.
"I know, I hold this pain in my heart forever
I shouldn't go but I cant really help it when I feel this pressure
I shouldn't go when I feel this building"
- The person is still deeply upset about the situation with the ex (I know, I hold this pain in my heart forever)
- The person, referring to the current partner about how they want to break it off because they feel the inner pressure of greater love for the ex than their current partner (I shouldn't go, but I can't really help it when I feel this pressure)
- Perhaps the person is forced to stay in the current relationship because they don't want to hurt their current partner? (I shouldn't go when I feel this building)
Just my two cents. :)

she can't say how she really feels. the floorplan is her way of saying i want you to know me, and how i think, what i'm feeling...
she feels that she wants to commit but she's not ready and knows she will have to leave...she wants it.. from the wanting the other person to love her so much the other person can live without her and she's tried to say that she does want it.. but she knows she will leave, because she's not ready.. and will she ever be.. "what was i looking for?".. she knows she will regret it forever..
the all eyes are on me is about waiting for one of them to make a move, to end the relationship or take the relationship to the next level.. and then she leaves under all the pressure of it.. when it was probably the most important love of her life..

as though she wants to make it work (draw a floorplan, helpful hints), but she doesn't know herself what she's really looking for.
...yeah, probably Emy

On a less serious note, I am just going to point out the fact that Sara kind of makes it sound like she's talking about peeing herself and being embarrassed because of it:
"I shouldn't go but I cant really help it when I feel this pressure
I shouldn't go when I feel this building"
and
"All eyes are on me now"
Ha :-).

But the rest of the lyrics just won't go with this theory :D
"All eyes are on me now" - to me it's "go ahead blame me!"
"What was I looking for?" - I'd like to find out that too!
"I shouldn't go when I feel this building" - go WHERE?! out of the building?
"floorplan" - singer
"building" - relationships with ...
The "floorplan" looks a little messed up, but "the building" needs some serious fixing.

and... "all eyes are on me now" makes me picture a lover asking me "do you love me? do you need me?" and them waiting for my answer.
"I want your lungs to stop working without me" means i want you to want and need me so bad that you can't live without me, so you don't leave.
"I think about writing you, I thought about calling you" is pretty straight forward, it means i think about getting in contact with you but i can't bring myself to do it.
and then "what you'll be looking for" or "what was i looking for" means im with you but im not sure why, i know i love you but im not sure why, but i want to be with you but i don't know if i can so you should be looking for me to run away because "I know I'll hold this loss in my heart forever" and i can't love you because im damaged from my past relationship.
so basically, its about a girl who has been hurt in a past relationship and wants to love this new girl she wants to tell her exactly how she can make her happy and love her but she knows it won't matter because her heart hurts, so she is stuck.

You would want to draw a plan of your heart and head so they can read you, and give you exactly what you want.
she wants the girl to give her whole self to her. To feel very strong feelings, to feel as if she can't live without her.
But she can't help but simply accept that it will never really work, and feels that other people are blaming her for the downfall of the relationship.
What was I looking for?
she doesn't understand how it all really happened and doesn't know exactly what she's looking for. She thinks she wants passion, and wants the person to read her, to fulfill what she wants from the relationship, but it ultimately isn't working.

I feel like Sara had been in a very passionate relationship and she is still in love with her ex , and she needs a new soulmate to cope with the previous one..at least it looks that way to me
and she is saying that she wants to draw her "floorplan" (to the new one) to make it easier to replace the ex that she's still in love with and she is trying to love the current lover , but she is still holding the lost in her heart and she doesn't believe that there is a chance to get over it.
And sometimes she feels like she can't take it and she can't help but want to run away..and using the meaning of "building" in "I was married" I think it meant obstacle ( the government) Very strong obstacle,and I think the only one..And now she is using it as something strong inside her,something that wouldn't let her let go..but the author just couldn't resist,and she is making what she shouldn't.
And about the lungs,I think she needs someone to love her so much and so truly to make her forget her ex..and I doubt that in this part with the " i think about writing you" she wants to confess everything OR to try to finish this thing,with the belief that if she write it on paper or say it she will feel better and will start going through this relationship.
Or maybe the lungs thing is about her ex,I don't know.. it is not-so-catchy song,just like tegan style.. I wonder why Sara did it this way..
