Spiralling

04 Aug 2008

I'm waiting for my moment to come
I'm waiting for the movie to begin
I'm waiting for a revelation
I'm waiting for someone to count me in

Because now I only see my dreams in everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on everything that I love
Cold like some magnificent skyline
Out of my reach but always in my eye line

Now we're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

I fashioned you from jewels and stone
I made you in the image of myself
I gave you everything you wanted
So you would never know anything else

But every time I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that I had planned
The map of my world gets smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose threads

Now we're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling
When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling

Did you want to be a winner?
Did you want to be an icon?
Did you want to be famous?
Did you want to be the president?
Did you want to start a war?
Did you want to have a family?
Did you want to be in love?
Did you want to be in love?

I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But I never saw the light

When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

I really like the "I never saw the light" part, but they didn't play it live :(

Posted by maija at 11:37am, 11 Nov 2008

This song is actually great! An energetic song, full of joy and inspiration. I just realized about the existance of this fantastic group, and their visit to Chile in 2007. Please Keane come back soon !!! We're always going to receive you hopefully.

I would like to make a little request. When you, TTR&J, perform this song live, could you please include the lyrics ... "I never saw the light, I never saw the light, I waited up all night, but I never saw the light"? I love that part of the song, so pretty, it should be heard. Thank you! XXXX Love, DebbieSue

Fine job, all of you Keane members! Tim, special thanks to you! Love ya, guys! Fans, have FUN with this song! "Dance Away....." LOL, ~Anne~

Well perfect lyric! But I'm from Honduras,and I dont have the album, I'm sad.

Posted by vanimar at 3:06am, 19 Oct 2008

TIM- Do you really think that "when we fall in love we're just falling in love with ourselves " ? Is love a selfish felling? Do we just love what is similar to us ? Posted by mariabella on 2008-10-17 12:07:45 I'd say yes on both counts. Love is utterly selfish. Aren't we all?

Posted by Suze at 11:53am, 18 Oct 2008

Good morning, as the sun is rising... "Spiralling", this first song was so awaited !!!... You broke some rules with it, it's true, and people were really so disoriented about this song... Well, it seems that everybody is waiting the moment you come... This, is the only truth !!!... ;o)

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) at 8:16am, 18 Oct 2008

I really feel that the lyrics is right because, regardless if we doesn't want it, we fall in that things...u.u.
