3rd track and one of the singles of Under The Iron Sea. Tim has said:
“Nothing In My Way” is I guess about really being in denial – I hate it when people refuse to acknowledge their own feelings and reactions to something, because they see it as being a weakness to say that they’re scared, or upset...
[Verse 1]
A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
Why do you laugh
When I know that you're hurt inside?
[Chorus]
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say?
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
[Verse 2]
A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line
[Chorus]
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
[Outro]
Well, for a lonely soul
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me
That you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me
That you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
