In The Air Tonight
Full Blown Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Can you feel it calling in the air tonight
Cos I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

Well if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

I can feel it coming in the air tonight (Oh Lord)
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life (Oh Lord)
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight (Oh Lord)
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life (Oh Lord x2)

And I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No you don't fool me
And the hurt doesn't show; and the pain still grows
No stranger to you and me

Can you feel it calling in the air tonight
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Can you feel it in the air tonight (Oh Lord x6)





Can you feel it in the air tonight
'Cause I've been waiting for this...
