Radio
Paolo Nutini Lyrics

You put your faith in something beautiful
You have entrusted your belief and trust in something that is captivating and inspiring.

Sell your reflection to the traveling show
You have willingly given up your true self for the sake of pleasing others or conforming to societal expectations.

We leave ourselves a lot to answer for
We are responsible for many unresolved questions and decisions regarding our actions and choices.

I've left myself and now I wanna go home
Having lost touch with my own identity, I yearn to return to a place of familiarity and comfort.

And up there in your treehouse
In your elevated and protected space of innocence and naivety.

Pigs and politicians go bump in the night
Corrupt individuals and those in power engage in unethical activities under the cover of darkness.

It'll take more than a superman
Overcoming our challenges and societal issues requires greater strength and effort than a single heroic figure can provide.

To make us think that everything's alright
A mere facade or illusion cannot convince us that everything is harmonious and satisfactory.

And there's nothing on the radio
The broadcasted media lacks significant or meaningful content.

They're all talking like they're falling in love
The artists on the radio are expressing emotions and romantic sentiments in an insincere or exaggerated manner.

Oh, there's nothing on the radio
There is a notable absence of substance or depth in the radio broadcasts.

And then it hits me like a fist from above
Suddenly, a realization or revelation strikes me forcefully and unexpectedly.

I'm singing
I am vocalizing my thoughts and emotions through the act of singing.

I, I, I, I want love, I want love
I deeply desire and long for genuine love and affection.

We half remember all the promises we made
We vaguely recall the commitments and pledges we once made.

But they're like white noise to us now
Those promises have become meaningless and insignificant background noise in our lives.

We light our match and walk away, beside ourselves
We ignite the match of change and depart from our current state, feeling detached from our true selves.

And it's easy, mm
The act of moving forward and leaving behind our past seems effortless and uncomplicated.

These days are written on our face
The experiences and hardships we have gone through are evident and visible in our expressions.

And in the faith that we can change this script tonight
We hold a belief and optimism that we can alter the course of our lives and rewrite our destiny.

You'll know me better than I'll ever know myself
You will possess a deeper understanding and insight into my true nature than I could ever achieve on my own.

If you see me, make it easy on me
Should you encounter me, please treat me with compassion and understanding, as I am going through a difficult time.

You'd better get here soon
It is imperative for you to arrive promptly and without delay.

There's nothing on the radio
The radio continues to offer empty or insignificant content.

Then it hits me like a fist from above
Once again, I am struck with a sudden realization or revelation, as if being punched from a higher source.

I, I, I, I want love, I want love
I have an intense longing and craving for genuine love and affection.

I, I, I, I want love, I want love
My desire for true love and connection is repeated and reinforced.

I, I, I, I want love, I want love
My yearning for authentic love and emotional intimacy persists.

I, I, I, I want love
I earnestly seek and yearn for genuine love.
