Tell the World
Murs Olly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see pouring rain
See my future heading for the drain
So betcha wondering
Why I got a grin permanently on my face

Stumbling downhill fast
Wasting time that I just don’t have
But still I got a smirk
Like I’m up in first
When I’m in economy class

And I could be on my knees
Going from bad to worse
And all of my hopes and dreams
Come crashing down to earth
No matter how bad it seems…

Any time I wake up and I see your face
Every single morning it’s a sunny day
Don’t know how I ever lived life without you
But girl you got me running to the highest place
So they can hear me screaming from miles away
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you
Tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you

This ladder I’m ‘bout to climb
Need the highest roof that I can find
I’m headed for the top
Dodging all the rocks
Till I hit the clear blue sky

Every day I keep it to myself
I’m doing damage to my mental health
If I don’t let it go, think I might explode
Baby if I don’t get help

And I could be on my knees
Going from bad to worse
And all of my hopes and dreams
Come crashing down to earth
No matter how bad it seems…

Any time I wake up and I see your face
Every single morning it’s a sunny day
Don’t know how I ever lived life without you
But girl you got me running to the highest place
So they can hear me screaming from miles away
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you
Tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you

What a wonderful feeling
She got me up so high feel like I’m touching the ceiling
Like I can touch the sky, me and the birds up chilling
Yeah you got that lottery love – one in a million
One of a kind, many men spend their whole lifetime
Searching for the special someone but it ain’t my girl
So I don’t care if they look at me weird
I know just what I got and I’ma tell the world

Any time I wake up and I see your face
Every single morning it’s a sunny day
Don’t know how I ever lived life without you
But girl you got me running to the highest place
So they can hear me screaming from miles away
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you
Tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you baby
Tell the world
Tell the world




Tell the world
Gotta tell the world how I feel about you
