All the colours in the rainbow don't compare, With one look in your impossible eyes, And I walked into the trap with my eyes wide shut, But I never knew what it would be like. All the plans were made, In the wooded glade, Where your body was split wide open, And I count to ten, As the race begins, Round your hairpin bends. Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Without you to hold me. I can't count the times I forgot my lines, And you pretended that you didn't know, Let me take you through each stage of the male mistake, And we'll adopt our natural roles. And I need you more, Than you need to be needed, So I sign my will one stab at a time, And I count to ten, As the race begins, Round your hairpin bends. Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Without you to hold me. Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Sometimes I feel I'll float away, Without you to hold me. Away, away, away, away ".Suede
About This Quote
This is a love song about a man who is in love with a woman. The woman he loves doesn't know he loves her, but one day she will learn. The song starts with the man dreaming about his lover, who he says is his rainbow. He says that she is his everything and that they are very much alike.
He tells her that she is the only one he has ever needed. He then goes on to describe all of the things that they have in common. They both have trouble talking about their feelings, but once they do, they can't stop talking about them.
He tells her that he wants to be the only one to love her, and that if she ever leaves him, he will die without her. He also says that what makes him so happy are the looks of surprise on her face when she realizes how much he cares for her.
