No Joanna Lyrics
It feels like this,
As i walk the streets and I stalk the leaves on my way home,
Look down at my shoes,
To see how i move,
And it's always wrong, it's always wrong
But i can't go back, I can't go back,
I can't go back to her,
She'll see she'll see the way i look,
I've looked,
I'll always look
through my eyes through my heart but not my sense
I seem to lose, not when i choose
And it's always wrong, it's always wrong
But second source, in the middle of the night
Was easy but not with this girl
Joanna sits on the wall,
Smiling and laughing and asking for more,
She's won the battle but now comes the fear,
It's over It's over, just as I came near
It feels like this,
As i walk the streets and I stalk the leaves on my way home,
The house is so near, but oceans from here
And it's always wrong, it's always wrong
But summer air,
When hands are a tangle, you think that you've won all the world
Joanna sits on the wall,
Smiling and laughing and asking for more,
She's won the battle but now comes the fear,
It's over, it's over, just as i came near
But second source in the middle of the night,
It feels like this, it feels like this..
My eyes will take a tear, from you
My heart will take a beat or two
My feet will take me back to you
Tonight they always do
Joanna sits on the wall,
Smiling and laughing, and asking for more
She's won the battle but now comes the fear
it's over, it's over, just as I came near..
Your eyes aren't blue but i still see seas within
As i walk the streets and I stalk the leaves on my way home,
Look down at my shoes,
To see how i move,
And it's always wrong, it's always wrong
I can't go back to her,
She'll see she'll see the way i look,
I've looked,
I'll always look
through my eyes through my heart but not my sense
And it's always wrong, it's always wrong
But second source, in the middle of the night
Was easy but not with this girl
Smiling and laughing and asking for more,
She's won the battle but now comes the fear,
It's over It's over, just as I came near
As i walk the streets and I stalk the leaves on my way home,
The house is so near, but oceans from here
And it's always wrong, it's always wrong
When hands are a tangle, you think that you've won all the world
Smiling and laughing and asking for more,
She's won the battle but now comes the fear,
It's over, it's over, just as i came near
It feels like this, it feels like this..
My heart will take a beat or two
My feet will take me back to you
Tonight they always do
Smiling and laughing, and asking for more
She's won the battle but now comes the fear
it's over, it's over, just as I came near..

To me, this song is about a man who falls deeply in love with a woman who happens to be a very wild creature. However, I beleive his love comes too late for her. She has already moved on because her character is defined by the fact that she needs to keep things new and alive. Just as he "comes near," ready to accept this love, she has already disappeared.
This could be nonsense to all of you, but its what I hear. -Kate
I disagree slightly with what's been suggested. My reading of it is this:
Guy and a girl going out, she breaks up with him. He loves (still loves) her and can't help himself but to keep going back to her despite his knowing that he probably should be doing this... this is a repeating cycle... hence, "it's always wrong". She makes him feel like he's not good enough for her, "back to her, she'll see the way I look, I've looked". If she sees how he looks, she'll judge him, make him feel like crap again etc,
Despite that all, he keeps going back to her "my feet will take me back to you".
The last line of the song, to me is basically saying. 'you're a bitch to me but I still the good within you'. "Your eyes aren't blue but i still see seas within".
It makes sense to me at least! haha
Lovely song. Best on the album.
I think the "won all the while" line is "won all the world", and the last line is "but I still see seas within" which is particularly beautiful.
No idea about the "second source" thing.
it's very beautiful. Yes, it's definitely "but I still see seas within" ox
thanks for the corrections! i have no idea on the second source thing either, it was my best guess but it makes no sense whatsoever. if anyone could shed some light for us...?
this is possibly the most beautiful song i've ever heard i can't stop listening :) i think it's about a summer relationship one of them has fallenmore than the other and now it's over but the feelings are still there i don't know but i love it :)
is it about a boy who fell in love with a girl and she turns him down?
have heard the song only twice now that's what I guess. lovely song though gonna listen to it now !! ^^
I agree with Kate. He's fallen too much in love with her, but she is just a girl who likes to have fun. She can't commit, she just wants to have fun and now that it's getting too much for her she has to leave.
I think the bit "To see how i move, And it's always wrong, it's always wrong"
I think this shows that he is trying to make her commit, do little things, "move2 in a way that might get through to her, but he won't ever get through to her.
yeah i definately agree with whats be put forward:
and what chantal16 has put forward.
nevertheless, brilliant song.
i think its about a boy and girl who love each other but she cant commit. she is wanting a wild summer and hes picking up the pieces behind her. hes always behind her, making sure shes okay but hes never too close, he knows if he gets too close she will just hurt him again. they both dont want each other to know how much they mean to one other, and are dicks to each other to try cover their feelings. Joanna wins the battle everytime, but this isnt always a good thing. He knows what she is doing is wrong. everytime she hurts him people tell him leave her but he will go back to her. He keeps getting close to fixing everything but everytime she shatters it to pieces. She puts on a smile through everything pretending life is dandy and great and ignoring her problems but when he looks into her eyes he can see her sadness. he can see a sea of tears.
