You know I forgive you every single time
Retreat, retreat meet me by the quayside
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine?
Your face in my hands is everything that I need
Put there to protect us
For you I throw a life line every time
Retreat, retreat meet me by the quayside
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine?
Your face in my hands is everything I need
Surround your aching heart
Full of love
Surround your aching heart
Full of love
Surround your aching heart
Bones
I watch as your eyes show off
I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off
"In the end all you can hope for Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through"
So simple, so real...
About an addict, most likely with an eating disorder, who is seeking help in recovery. She finds it hard to reach out to fellowships of the 12Step programme and attend meetings. She keeps relapsing and hesitating in asking for support. But she is welcomed every time she returns to the warm circle of fellow recovering addicts.
To me this is about a guy infatuated with a girl whose probably not that into him. He's blind to her flaws and he doesn't have the courage to tell her how much he loves her as he's unsure how she feels about him. She flirts with him, but she hurts his feelings a lot. But still he hopes that, in the end, he would've gotten as much love from her, as the pain this relationship has brought him.
the first line of lyrics is actually 'How can you always be late for your arrival'... it just won't let me edit anymore
"In the end all you can hope for Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through"
So simple, so real...
I know, I love the chorus. That's kept me going more times than I can count... gives me an indescribable amount of hope that love is not just a figment of my imagination...
"In the end all you can hope for Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through" This is definitely a top class song from this amazing band. The tune is so catchy and rocky, and the lyrics are so beautiful and uplifting.
Completely off the subject, but I think Tom is, like, the hottest guy ever. He looks especially cute with his longish hair!!!! ;-)
