Till I Lost
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bad translation to a foreign film
Or just wandering around with you
Just wandering town with you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Would be enough
The tiny cracks on the city stone
Or just wandering around with you
Just wandering town with you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Would be enough
But oh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Oh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
The moving shadows on your swaying light
All your picture notes of your porcupines
Or just wandering around with you
Just walking these towns with you
Oh, oh, oh, oh would be enough
But oh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Oh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
Oh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Oh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
The lyrics to Tom Odell's "Till I Lost" are a reflection on the nuances of love and appreciation. The singer of the song details small moments that would typically go unnoticed or hold little meaning, but when shared with someone special, make a significant impact. A coffee stain on a window sill, a bad translation in a foreign film, and even wandering around town with someone they enjoy are all moments that the singer states would be enough. The lyrics convey that the joys of life are often in the small things we experience with others and the memories they create.
However, the final lines of the song bring a shift in the perspective. The singer claims that they didn't see the sea until they crossed it and didn't feel the love until they lost it. The line "I didn't feel your love until I lost" portrays the idea that often people don't realize how much they love someone until that person is gone. The song suggests that love, admiration, and appreciation are feelings that only grow stronger when they are missed when they are no longer present.
Overall, "Till I Lost" is a song that celebrates the beauty of small moments and reminds us to cherish the people and experiences in our lives, as we may not realize their value until they are gone.

Walking on the rooftops
Talking of times
With our eyes a glowing
Like the city lights
She stands on the ledge
She says, "It looks so high"
You know it's a...
Long way down
Feels like a long way down
It feels like a long way down
Like a long way down
So honey, don't leave, don't leave
Please, don't leave me now
'Cause I can feel the rivers
Winding through the lands
Two lines, and a poet
(You know) Like a kind old rye
You know we could talk in that language
Only we understand
But you know, honey, it's a...
Long way down
You know it's a long way down
It feels like a long way down
Love it feels like a long way down
So honey, don't leave, don't leave
Please, don't leave me now
