Infinity
The xx Lyrics
After all the time
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn
Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Could you tell
Things ain't worked out my way
Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
Wished for infinity
If that ain't me
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Give it up, I can't give it up

After all the time

Had I just seen one in your eyes

Yes, they did it on purpose, also I feel cornered also I think I did my time infinite number of times and that I will have to do it again infinite number of times and it is very comforting thought to me

The entire album is a master class. It’s an incredible piece of art, and should be experienced as the studio album. The tone, the ambiance, the atmosphere, the subtlety of the music doesn’t translate well in a live setting.
I love how the artists are selfless, and are able to show restraint to not try and overcompensate. The focus is on the songwriting, and the sound. The rests in each measure, and the silence plays a role as important as the music.

The lyrics break my heart... never even felt the feeling before but the imagination is beautiful, yet dark in a soothing way.

I love how The xx always manages to pull off that vibe with the deep, dwelling melodies and undertone singing.
