Up In The Clouds
Keith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know the cards are stacked against this
As we surrender our defenses
And I've torn down all my fences just for you
And you feel it too
What do we do
Do we run or see it through
The longer we're together
It just keeps gettin' better
And you hide your little love letters
Around the house for me
And it's plain to see
That you'll always be all I'll ever need

[Chorus]
The webs we spun
Wove into one
And left us tangled up in love
You squeeze my hand I understand
About a woman and a man
I love the way you make me feel
You got me tangled up in love
The webs we spun
Wove into one
Left us tangled up in love





[Chorus]

Amazing song. Awesome video! Red Thread was one of my favourite albums of 2006. Looking forward to Vice & Virtue.
