That Old Feeling
Union Duke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been a while but I think I remember it
Wasn't looking for romance at all
But I found it
Oh I found it
And now I wake up early
Been sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
My friends say that I'm changing
Well if I am I'm changing for the best
Now I think I'm ready to give these bones a rest
And there's a price I have to pay
Years of loneliness were bound to end this way
Wasn't looking to be saved at all
But you saved me
You sure as shit saved me
And now I wake up early
Been sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
I've been going crazy with all the things you said
My friends say that I'm changing
Well if I am I'm changing for the best
Now I think I'm ready to give these bones a rest
And I wanted to let you know
(I don't want to let you go)
And I'm not surprised that we've gone
Closer than most
When we're alone
Feels just like home
Darling I'm so
And now I wake up early
Been sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
I've been going crazy with all the things you said
My friends say that I'm changing
Well if I am I'm changing for the best
Now I think I'm ready to give these bones a rest
But I don't think I'm ready to say I love you yet

That old feelings back again
The familiar emotions of love have returned
Been a while but I think I remember it
It's been some time, but I recall the feeling
Wasn't looking for romance at all
I wasn't searching for love in any way
But I found it
However, I discovered it unexpectedly
And now I wake up early
I am now eager and revitalized
Been sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
I have been making poor choices
I've been going crazy with all the things you said
Your encouraging words have deeply affected me
My friends say that I'm changing
My acquaintances have noticed a positive change in me
Well if I am I'm changing for the best
If indeed I'm changing, it's for my benefit
Now I think I'm ready to give these bones a rest
Now I believe I am prepared to relax and take it easy
And there's a price I have to pay
There are consequences to face
Years of loneliness were bound to end this way
Years of seclusion were destined to conclude as such
Wasn't looking to be saved at all
I wasn't in need of rescuing
But you saved me
Yet, you did indeed save me
You sure as shit saved me
You undoubtedly saved me
And I wanted to let you know
I desired to inform you
(I don't want to let you go)
(I don't want to lose you)
And I'm not surprised that we've gone
I'm not taken aback that we've progressed
Closer than most
More intimate than others
When we're alone
In private moments
Feels just like home
It feels like my residence
Darling I'm so
My love, I'm very happy
But I don't think I'm ready to say I love you yet
But I'm unsure if I'm willing to express my love just yet
