SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW

– words and music by Tim Rice-Oxley and Richard Hughes

I walked across an empty land

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 things, (oh simple things) where have you gone? (where have you gone?)

I’m getting tired and I need someone to rely on

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?

Oh simple things, (oh simple things) where have you gone? (where have you gone?)

I’m getting old and I need something to rely on

And if you have a minute, why don’t we go? (a minute)

Talk about it somewhere only we know? (we can talk about it)

This could be the end of everything

So why don’t we go somewhere only we know

Somewhere only we know…..

Oh simple things, (oh simple things) where have you gone? (where have you gone?)

I’m getting tired and I need someone to rely on

So tell me when (so tell me when) you’re gonna let me in (gonna let me in)

I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don’t we go? (a minute)

Talk about it somewhere only we know? (we can talk about it)

This could be the end of everything

So why don’t we go somewhere only we know

Somewhere only we know…
