Somewhere Only We Know
Keane · Hopes & Fears
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
(break)
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go
HmmmaaaAAAA.....Ahhhoooooo....
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know' stands as a defining track from their 2004 album 'Hopes & Fears,' showcasing the band's signature blend of indie rock and melodic pop. The song features the distinctive, soaring vocals of lead singer Tim Rice-Oxley, supported by the group's signature three-part harmony and lush, atmospheric instrumentation. Released during the height of the Britpop era, the recording captured a moment of introspective melancholy that resonated deeply with listeners, propelling the album to critical acclaim and commercial success. Its enduring popularity has cemented it as a staple of modern alternative rock, often cited as a key influence on subsequent generations of indie artists. The track's emotional depth and melodic structure have ensured its continued relevance in both live performances and radio play over the decades.
