The fourth track from the band’s fourth studio album. The lyrics discuss the dissipation of a strong, maybe sexual, relationship and presents the struggle and anguish one may experience upon such a conclusion.
[Verse 1]
So you thought it would happen
Good love, goodbye
I know where no one can reach you
No, I don't mind
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your world, why would you fake it?
These days go by
As you turn around, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Other people want to keep in touch
Somethin' happens and it's not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
[Verse 2]
Heaven won't keep us together
Right place at the wrong time
It takes all kinds of weather
Distant new skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere no one can reach us
These days go by
As you turn around, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Other people want to keep in touch
Somethin' happens and it's not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
[Outro]
Was it ever quite enough?
Was it ever quite enough?
Was it ever quite enough?
Was it ever quite enough?
(Don't you know who's standing by me?)
(Oh, my love, just can't let you go)
Was it ever quite enough?
(Don't you know who's standing by me?)
(Oh, my love, just can't let you go)
