You Held The World In Your Arms Lyrics
Every face
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
Cos everything's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday
Is consideration
More like an exception - of consideration?
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
When you're secure, do you feel much safer?
As days never change, and it's three years later
It's like your life hasn't changed,
And it's three years late
So how does it feel, to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today
And what seems different, seems different today
Is consideration
More like an exception - of consideration?
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
(tonight...) (tonight...)
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
Cos everything's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday
Is consideration
More like an exception - of consideration?
And what if you held the world in your arms?
As days never change, and it's three years later
It's like your life hasn't changed,
And it's three years late
So how does it feel, to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today
And what seems different, seems different today
Is consideration
More like an exception - of consideration?
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
(tonight...) (tonight...)
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?

Excellent song...Just recently heard some of their last album, and if this single says anything, the new album in the summer should be another step forward.
Good job, boys...
idlewild rule.this song rules just like all their others. i dont no what the song means but its good and Roddy woomble comes from where i live!
I put the lyrics on. I am a king among men. And women. P.S Has anybody seen Nick Valensi?
Its a small world, Roddies g/f lives just around the corner from me and Colin ewton (drummer) lives roughly a mile away from me. BUT THEY R STILL GETIING SHITTER AS THEY GO ON, CAPTIAN ROCKS, HI.I IS OK AND REST IS SHIT
Cooper Temple Clause and Biffy Clyro are better British Rock bands
Does anyone know if Reading tickets are fast going. I aint got mine yet. and Idlewild arnt playing :( kinda annoying but hey THE STROKES WOOHOOOO. and cooper temple. how cool is it gonna be!!!
Yeh Idlewild's older stuff are loads better so they betta go bak 2 that sorta stuff with this next album. I love the song Close The Door.
i think this song is about your life getting stuck in a rut, and how easy it is to just let time go by, to take the safe options in life and not change anything but that you shouldn't get stuck in this trap because we have so much potential...
JulianC: haven't seen Nick anywhere for a while but Fab Moretti was looking 4 you the other day...
Anyway I love this song..hope the new album's as good as the others.
I love this song. Best bit is the start of the second verse, the line "When you're secure do you feel much safer / As days never change and it's three years later" Perfectly describes my time in college!
