You Held the World in Your Arms
Idlewild · Scottish Fiction: Best of Idlewild 1997-2007 [2007]
Every face
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
'Cause everything's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday
Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration?
'Cause you held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
When you're secure do you feel much safer?
But days never change and it's three years later
It's like your life
Hasn't changed and it's three years late
How does it feel to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today
What seems different, seems different today
Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration?
'Cause you held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms
Tonight
Tonight
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
'Cause everything's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday
Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration?
'Cause you held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
When you're secure do you feel much safer?
But days never change and it's three years later
It's like your life
Hasn't changed and it's three years late
How does it feel to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today
What seems different, seems different today
Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration?
'Cause you held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms
Tonight
