The Second Part Lyrics
And all I want is to feel better
They won't be back
And a long weekend is coming up
I felt the house
It was just to see you
For an hour
Hoping for two
As I passed the doorman for a second time
And it rained all day
I don't have a raincoat of my own
I then arrived
Ten minutes early with no smokes
And I was broke
Without a smoke
I thought I was crazy 'cos you told me so
It was profound
Like the piano I was humbled by
Our tongues may have touched
But all I remember was your nose
And I suppose
Our eyes were closed
And all I want is gone
For good this time
I'm almost certain those ending lines go "Our tongues may have tied / But all I remember was the notes", which would make an awful lot more sense.
I think this song is about, someone who lost his wife/family, and is seeking solace with maybe a previous lover or close friend.
correction in the 5th line its "i left the house"
beautiful song.
"All the time I thought I was crazy 'cos you told me so"
I love that line. I've always thought of it as about someone with a low self-esteem.
As for the whole song, I think it's about a relationship that had ended, but they tried to get back together and failed.
Losing a lover for good, replaying it over and over again.
This song is 10x better live when the solo is played on the electric guitar.
Yeah I saw it live too, very intense. It's funny I always heard "Ivan arrived" - gives a totally different image!
My favourite Dears song.
