I Feel Better
Hot Chip Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, "How did we get ourselves so lost?"
And I said, "I don't know, but we will not be leaving tonight, tonight
When you hold me I, I feel better"

I only want one night, together in our arms
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms

Nothing is wasted and life is worth living

Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted and life is worth living (I only want one night)
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing (This is the longest night)
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours

"And maybe if we'd never come this way
Then we would live and prosper
But I doubt it
We are a violent race
and we deserve what we get
When you hold me, when you hold me
I feel better, I feel better"

I only want one night, together in our arms (I feel better)
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms (I feel better)
I only want one night, together in our arms (I feel better)
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms

Nothing is wasted, a life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted and life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted, and life is worth living

(I only want one night, together in our arms)
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
(This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms)

Everything's nothing and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted, a life is worth living
(I only want one night, together in our arms)
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing

(This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms)
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
