Calling out in pain
Sweat upon my headache
Making me feel bad
Picture it again
I must be dreaming
Maybe I'll walk high
High, takes me in
High, I hear you say
Forgiven, I wish I was
Forgiven, the waters part
Reaching out to say
Thinking of the days
Walking by the trees, sway
Staring at the sun
Little child is me
Pain is taking over
Smiles that turn to stone
High, takes me in
High, I hear you say
Forgiven, I wish I was
Forgiven, the waters part
Reaching out to say
You heal the scars I hide
You drink the tears I cry
I'm reaching out to touch
The angel of my life
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven (I wish I was)
I wish I realized when you were still alive
Make peace inside my head
The ghost of you arrived
Forgiven, forgiven
I wish I was, I wish I was
Forgiven, forgiven
I wish I was, I wish I was
Forgiven
Wish I was
Sweat upon my headache
Making me feel bad
Picture it again
I must be dreaming
Maybe I'll walk high
High, I hear you say
Forgiven, the waters part
Reaching out to say
Walking by the trees, sway
Staring at the sun
Little child is me
Pain is taking over
Smiles that turn to stone
High, I hear you say
Forgiven, the waters part
Reaching out to say
You drink the tears I cry
I'm reaching out to touch
The angel of my life
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven (I wish I was)
Make peace inside my head
The ghost of you arrived
Forgiven, forgiven
I wish I was, I wish I was
Forgiven, forgiven
I wish I was, I wish I was
Forgiven

another beautiful feeder song. i love grants vocals on this, gives me the chills.
i love this song too... i can relate to the lyrics and i just love the way it's so soft and beautiful
I agree, this is Feeders most incredible slow song, highly emotional and beautiful. 'Swim-Resurfaced' is an incredible CD capturing Feeders softest well composed songs and creativly heavy songs.
This song i interpret although only one part i relate too, i see it as a case of possible regret hanging over your life, you've hurt someone or they've hurt you and to FORGIVE may be too hard to bring yourself to do or you dont know if that person ever has forgiven you...maybe that chance to forgive is no longer possible in this life.
the second may be a distant memory with childlike innocence which was really amazinfg and comforting but without Forigveness its turning that memory and happiness to stone.
Then you wish you were forgiven, to part the waters that are affecting a part of your journey in life.. you want to reach out and just explain to that person how much they meant to you when things were happy. Now you wish when forgiveness was possible you'd aksed for it to clear your mind and move on.
To me i think these lyrics are incredible: You heal the scars I hide You drink the tears I cry I'm reaching out to touch The angel of my life\
I find when you find the person in your life who is just your everything they can heal your scars in time, will be there when you cry and when you reach out for them they are always there like a guardian angel to Love you and be there for you always.
This is such a beautiful song - so unlike the "typical" feeder that comes to mind (eg Buck Rogers). Shows that they really are a very diverse band. I guess it's about someone who loves you so much that they'll forgive any pain you ever bring them.
