And I'm feeling down
There're couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds
Pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for something to occupy my mind
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
So listen to the radio - listen to the radio -
Remember where we used to go
And it's cold outside
Caught up in a distant dream
I turn and think that you are by my side
And I try to dress
Wandering why my mind plays tricks
And fools me into thinking you are there
Swimming forever in my head
Not lying in my bed
Just swimming forever
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
So listen to the radio - listen to the radio -
Remember where we used to go
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
I listen to the radio - listen to the radio -
Remember where we used to go
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever
- Swimming forever -
Swimming forever
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
So listen to the radio - listen to the radio -
Remember where we used to go
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
I listen to the radio - listen to the radio -
To all the songs, all the songs we used to know, yeah, yeah........ (fade out)
FANTASTIC SONG one of the best from the 'in Blue' album. I love the lyrics and the backing track to the song. Written by Sharon Corr who wrote this song the day after she wrote the Corrs other hit 'So Young' [she s too fuckin good!!!]
Best part of the song: Now it's morning light And it's cold outside Caught up in a distant dream I turn and think that you are by my side
So I leave my bed And I try to dress Wandering why my mind plays tricks And fools me into thinking you are there
But you're just in my head Swimming forever in my head Not lying in my bed Just swimming forever
EXCELLENT!!!!!**
I can't believe no one's commented on this song - I love it!
I love this song, especially the lyric is really touching. I always get emotional every time I listen to this song.
Amazing song, I think it's about someone who is thinking of an ex. and simple things like songs on the radio are reminding her of them. Great vocals.
I love how the music is cheery but the lyrics aren't really. It seems to me as if she's trying to forget, or trying to put on a brave face. I think the radio is supposed to take her mind off the guy, but it doesn't obviously. What does? Unrequited love. It's something people can easily relate to. I love it. (Not unrequited love, the song =p)
fantastic song, my second favorite corrs song after Make you Mine.
Personally, I think her lover might have died. The chorus is a bit of a giveaway. If she was trying to get over a break-up, she would be upset by hearing "their songs" on the radio, or "all the songs they used to know." Instead, she listens to the radio of her own free will, and embraces the memories, because that's all that is left of her love. The violin solo seems very whimsical and reminiscent, almost in mourning. Other lyrics make me think this disconnect happened suddenly and unexpectedly, like an untimely death. Lyrics like, "I turn and think that you are by my side," and "my mind... fools me into thinking you are there." So, this song would be about a lover who recently passed, and his/her lover grappling with the shock and despair of their death.
