Near you Lyrics

I should get out of this seat
feel the world beneath my feet
strive to see more of the sun
try to change what I've become

Move on up through this down
take this luck and turn it around

I get near you but I never seem to reach you

Somewhere tonight the stars still shine
somehow I've got to re-align
fuelled by the promise of the sun
pulled by the charm this night has spun

Move on up through this down
take this luck and turn it around

I get near you but I never seem to reach you

Cover art for Near you lyrics by Teenage Fanclub

The lyrics might not be completely sunny, but this song always gets me in a really good mood. Is he talking about a girl or about God?

Neither in my opinion. It's a song about self realisation, about striving to reach your full potential. But somehow always falling short. Agree that its an uplifting song tho! Last truly great Gerrard Love song?

it doesn't seem sunny at first, but it's actually rather optimistic. when things aren't going so well, whether it be due to a girl, or other forms of existential crises, you've just gotta try to push on thru.

also, let's not forget about the town and the city and cul de sac--two of gerard's (and tfc's) best~
