Feel
Tupelo Honey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to think that I know the feeling
Well
You used to think of tucking me into your head
Why do we have to play this petty game
When I know this;
In my mind it stays the same

And I can't believe it

This isn't happening again
And I feel what I can
And I lose the chance to speak
And I need to get away

And I feel what I can
And I lose the chance to speak
And I need
I need to get away from here

Well now I'm sure that I know the feeling
Well
It's the one you have when you need more than here

I'll never find an end to these horror thoughts
But I rid myself of you
When I attempt cheap shots

And I can't believe it
This isn't happening again
And I feel what I can
And I lose the chance to speak
And I need to get away

And I feel what I can
And I lose the chance to speak
And I need
I need to get away from here

And I can't believe it
And I won't believe it
This isn't happening again
And I feel what I can
And I lose the chance to speak
And I need to get away

Feel what I can
And I lose the chance to speak
And I need
I need to get away from here
But I can't
And I lose the chance to speak

Well I need
I need to get away from here
But I can't
And I lose the chance to speak
But I need
I need to get away from here

I need to get away

Need to get away from
Here
