Eternally Missed
●Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chase your dreams away
Glass needles in the hay
The sun forgives the clouds
You are my holy shroud

Oh no no

I just don't care if it's real
That won't change how it feels
I just don't care if it's real
That won't change how it feels

No it doesn't change

And you can't resist
Making me feel
Eternally missed

And you can't resist
And you can't resist
Making me feel

Chase your dreams away
Glass needles in the hay
The sun forgives the clouds
You are my holy shroud

I just don't care if it's real
That won't change how it feels
I just don't care if it's real
That won't change how it feels

No it doesn't change

And you can't resist
Making me feel
Eternally missed

You can't resist
You can't resist
Making me feel

You can't resist
Making me feel
Eternally missed

You can't resist
You can't resist
Making me feel

You can't resist
Making me feel
Eternally missed

And you can't resist
And you can't resist
Making me feel

Chase your dreams away
Glass needles in the hay
The sun forgives the clouds




You are my holy shroud
Oh no no

Ver este partido 10 años después me sirve para darme cuenta de lo fantástico que ha sido el fútbol con el que crecí.
