Sense
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe if I skim the stone,
Walk a different way back home,
It would all make sense.
Oh, shut my eyes,
Lose myself in teenage lies,
If I fell in love a thousand times,
'Cause I,
I've been feeling pretty small,
Sometimes,
Feel like I'm slipping down walls,
And every line,
I ever get a hold,
It seems to break.
Ca-call you up,
I can tell you just how much,
No, no maybe I'll just get drunk,
And it will all make sense.
Or if I weren't so nice,
I convince my friends that you were right,
I can promise you my heart don't cry,
Would it all make sense?
'Cause I,
I've been feeling pretty small,
Sometimes,
Feel like I'm slipping down walls,
And every lie,
I ever get a hold,
It seems to break.
Oh I,
I've been feeling pretty small,
Sometimes,
Feel like I'm slipping down walls,
And every lie,
I ever get a hold,
It seems to break.

Line by Line Meaning
Hard to know,
It's difficult to understand.
Maybe if I skim the stone,
Perhaps if I try something different.
Walk a different way back home,
Take a different path in life.
It would all make sense.
Everything would become clear.
Oh, shut my eyes,
Ignore reality for a moment.
Lose myself in teenage lies,
Believe in fantasies.
If I fell in love a thousand times,
If I experienced romance repeatedly.
Would it all make sense?
Would everything become clearer?
'Cause I,
I've been feeling pretty small,
I feel insignificant.
Sometimes,
Feel like I'm slipping down walls,
Occasionally, I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.
And every line,
I ever get a hold,
It seems to break.
Everything I build falls apart.
Ca-call you up,
I can tell you just how much,
I could express my feelings to you.
No, no maybe I'll just get drunk,
And it will all make sense.
Perhaps alcohol could provide clarity.
Or if I weren't so nice,
I convince my friends that you were right,
I can promise you my heart don't cry,
If I was less kind, I could manipulate others to support your view. But, nevertheless, it wouldn't cause me to feel upset.
Would it all make sense?
Would everything become clearer?
'Cause I,
I've been feeling pretty small,
I feel insignificant.
Sometimes,
Feel like I'm slipping down walls,
Occasionally, I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.
And every lie,
I ever get a hold,
It seems to break.
Everything I build falls apart.
Oh I,
I've been feeling pretty small,
I feel insignificant.
Sometimes,
Feel like I'm slipping down walls,
Occasionally, I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.
And every lie,
I ever get a hold,
It seems to break.
Everything I build falls apart.

Verse 1]
Hard to know, maybe if I skim the stone
Walk a different way back home, it would all make sense
Oh, shut my eyes, lose myself in teenage lies
If I fell in love a thousand times, would it all make sense?
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold it seems to break
[Verse 2]
Could call you up
I could tell you just how much
No, no, maybe I will just get drunk and it will all make sense
Or if I weren't so nice, I'd convince my friends that you weren't right
I could promise you my heart don't cry
But would it all make sense?
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold it seems to break
Oh I, I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold it seems to break
