Chinatown Lyrics

Innocent love
I need someone, somewhere
I need some way to come down
I need some way to make things right

Innocent love
I need someone, somewhere
I need some way to come down
I need some way to make things right

We're not happy til we're running away
Clouds in your eyes
We're nothing but the foggiest day

One of a kind
I need to keep you here
I need to picture you still
I need to clear the fog

One of a kind
I need to keep you here
I need to picture you still
I need to clear the fog

We’re not happy til we’re running away
Clouds in your eyes
We're nothing but the foggiest day
Clouds in your eyes
We’re not happy til we’re running away
Clouds in your eyes
We're nothing but the foggiest day

this song has written longing all over it. having stated the obvious, i'll go personal and add that it's truly touching, it has this teenage feel about it and being 18 myself this song and Summer Holiday are provoking pure nostalgia. like a dull heartache that wants to be overcome for good. what more could you expect of music? if you don't get caught up in this dreamy mood, this kind of music kind of cleanses your heart, at least that's what i feel.

2nd line i'm hearing "i need someone somewhere" but i could be wrong there.

i think the first lyrics are "innocent love", and i think the missing lyric is "i need somewhere to think things right" or something of that nature. i could be wrong, but that's what it sounds like to me. also clicktrackheart is right i believe. it does sound like "i need someone somewhere"

I can't stop listening to this song I think it goes like this:

Innocent love I need someone, somewhere I need some way to come down I need some way to break a smile

We're not happy til we're running away Clouds in your eyes We're nothing but the foggiest day

One of a kind I need to keep you here I need to picture you still I need to clear the fog

Dude it sounds to me like he's saying

"I need someone somewhere I need somewhere to confess I need some way to make things right"

During the first verse. Jus sayin...

"I need some way to break this high" ??

@david10588 i don't think so.

Fuck, what a good song. Makes me want to have a strong hopeful crush on a girl in the summer time.

same here but the other way around

You want weak resentment of a boy in wintertime?

idk

Innocent Love I need to someone somewhere I need some way to come down I need some way to get inspired

Innocent love I need to someone somewhere I need some way to come down I need some way to get inspired

We're not happy 'til we're running away Clouds in our eyes

In nothing but the foggiest day
