Radio
Corrs(코어스) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's late at night and I'm feeling down
There are couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds...

So I step inside for a glass of wine.
With a full glass and an empty heart,
I search for something to occupy my mind...

'Cause you are in my head,
Swimming forever in my head,
Tangled in my dreams,
Swimming forever...

So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go

Now it's morning light and it's cold outside,
Caught up in a distant dream I turn
And think that you are by my side...

So I leave my bed and I try to dress,
Wondering why my mind plays tricks
And fools me into thinking you are there

But you're still in my head,
Swimming forever in my head,
Not lying in my bed,
Just swimming forever...

So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go

You are in my head,
Swimming forever

So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)
So I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go
I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
To all the songs we used to know (listen to the radio)

I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
To all the songs, all the songs we used to know

As they lie in bed, they are caught up in a distant dream, wishing that the person they love was lying next to them.
