Endlessly Lyrics

When she walks out she's illuminous
When she turns 'round she is someone else
And I can't fight
Can't find the rule or the exception
She moves towards me endlessly
Endlessly...
Endlessly...

Turns her face into music...
Into fog...
Voice behind me
Says "go on"
So I go on towards her endlessly
Endlessly...
Endlessly...

Switch the scene
Sun is rising
Summer trees
Someone smiling
She moves towards me endlessly
Endlessly...
Endlessly...

She walks out she's illuminous

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Dreamy lyrics about a woman the author is in love with. She moves towards him endlessly. But they never actually connect. Maybe he's just dreaming. This song was originally released as a single and is available on the album Modern Art, The Best Of John Foxx. I highly recommend it.

The last line is purposely the same as the first. That tells me he blew it. The pair never moved towards each other endlessly except in his fantasy. He ignores his friend's encouragement to talk to her and his mind suddenly wanders off to typical disconnected John Foxx themes: summer, sunlight, a random face. While he's daydreaming, the woman leaves yet he's convinced they'll inevitably be drawn together. Once again, Foxx has told us of a passive observer who sees things in powerful romantic visions but never does anything romantic!
