Keane - The Lovers Are Losing

Lyrics:

I dreamed I was drowning in the River Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

I dreamed I was drifting on the howling wind
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hands
Into the river
Saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past and I saw my future

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Because you dont like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
Youre full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at things
Looks like the lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching the young lovers dance
I reached out to touch your hair
But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I try to hold on to what we are
The more I squeeze the quicker we alter

Chorus

I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

Chorus

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Because you dont like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
Youre full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Looks like the lovers are losing

[meshrudo]

oh my god, tonight i discovered KEANE for the first time, by hasard...now its been more then 3 hours since i started to listen song after song, since their beginnings.. and all because i needed a song to reflect my feelings.. and... is not so much about sound, is about lyrics and the way they flow into u... and after 3 hours i dont cease of wanting and discovering more and more of keano MUSIC....

Thank you

@tamimen1 Yeah, I think people underrate them because of their musical style but that's their loss; Keane rock!

[MultiBelle22]

It's like putting Keats or Yeats to music! Tim must have one of the best minds for writing lyrics in the world!
