That's All Lyrics
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
Its'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
tell me it's black when I know that it's white
always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
but why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
making me feel like I want too much
living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
running around, staying out all night
taking it all instead of taking one bite
living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
well it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
more than I wanted to
there's no point in trying to pretend
there's been no-one who
makes me feel like you do
say we'll be together till the end
it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
so why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
more than I wanted to
there's no point in trying to pretend
there's been no-one who
makes me feel like you do
say we'll be together till the end
I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Well I could say day, and you'd say night
tell me it's black when I know that it's white
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
This song is much to do about the poo of a relationship.
Cool, I get to be the first to comment on this song. It has been one of my favorite songs since I was real young and I mainly liked it because of the piano in it and I never really paid attention to the lyrics. Now that I'm older and I just went through a divorce it was scary as to how this song was tailor made for my situation (after I read the lyrics). I'm the type that can't leave someone I love even if it is for the right reasons. But I'm sure glad my ex-wife had the courage to leave me, I'm much happier now! So the song is creapy in a way but in another way I enjoy hearing it from time to time to as a reminder of what I just went through. Phil sing this song just perfect.
As a songwriter who routinely uses figures of speech to ascribe multiple meanings to the same sequence of words, I can tell you EXACTLY what this song is about:
C.O.C.A.I.N.E.
I am certain this is Phil Collin's ode to the contradictions inherent in a chronic cocaine abuser's never ending quest for elation; followed immediately by guilt and remorse.
Don't believe me?
Just listen to the song again right now with THAT premise in mind...
" I could leave but I won't go, it would be easier I know.. I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes.."
I mean, really: c'mon people!
cheers!
