Badly Drawn Boy - I Saw You Walk Away Lyrics






You're not alone
I'm not alone
Maybe we're together
Said we'd stay together through any kind of weather

I've seen the rain comin' down
and the snow fall on your eyes
I've seen the sun pour in shapes through your window a thousand times

You see life in moments
I know I've got nowhere to hide
But I can see your face in mine
and you'll be comin' back

For the first time it feels real
since the day I saw you walk away
From my head down to my shoulders
it feels numb

For the first time I can feel
how it felt to watch you walk away
From the ground up to my shoulders
it feels numb

If I don't crucify myself somebody will (oooooh)
If I don't do this thing myself nobody will (oooooh)
How could you say that I don't wanna live
I wanna live (oooooh)
Time that you waste turns into memories

And they fade
Fade away

Now I'm alone
There's not a soul
No one to remind me
Tell me you will find me, put this all behind me

It's not a feeling I've known
or one that I could find
If I could find you if only to tell you I'm losing my mind

You see life in moments
I know I could run out of time
I can see your face in mine
and it's beautiful

For the first time it feels real
Since the day I saw you walk away
From my head down to my shoulders
it feels numb

For the first time I can feel
how it felt to watch you walk away
from the ground up to my shoulders
it feels numb

If I don't crucify myself somebody will (oooooh)
If I don't do this thing myself nobody will (oooooh)
How could you say that I don't wanna live
I wanna live (oooooh)
The time that you waste turns into memories

And they fade
Fade away

  1. G.... A....

    "If I don't crucify myself, somebody will..."

  2. P.... p....

    there is a longing here ,huge

  3. C.... F....

    Al Stewart anyone...is still very good

    C.... F....

    year of the rat or something ,that song' on the border' about him smuggling shit loads of smack into spain,good old AL .

  4. M.... S....

    it's so touching but also so underrated. i love this song anyway.

  5. v.... ....

    All of his music is wonderful!

  6. K.... M....

    How have I not heard this before? loved his first and second albums then got right into other indie - now back to loving badly drawn boy and LOVE this song!

  7. D.... G....

    Anyone getting a Smiths/Morrissey vibe from this?

    D.... G....

    ...oh yes

    D.... G....

    Very much in the style of The Smiths: from the crisp, jazzy guitar and percussion to the mannered vocal and tender yodelling! And the outro is very similar to There is a light... l love this

  8. d.... ....

    Sounds amazing

  9. V.... D....

    wow...I missed this album!

  10. J.... J....

    love this song!!!

  11. W.... J....

    Ech , zamknąłem oczy i The Smiths :) przepiękna gitara i wokal ścinający z nóg , jak ja za nimi tęsknię 

  12. c.... ....

    Genius. I've got him up there with the best. Bob Dylan aint got shit on badly drawn boy. And that is the truth!

    c.... ....

    @Asaint100 it was a matter of drunken opinion 😂

    c.... ....

    +choclatesaltyballz he's good. but you thinking Dylan has nothing on him is a joke. He'd be nothing without Dylan.

    c.... ....

    +Nathan Marsh it was a matter of a bottle of vodka opinion and Bruce Springsteen was his inspiration not Bob Dylan. Look who I'm with on my YouTube picture

    c.... ....

    Either way i just tried my best to listen to BDBoy .. and it's all F**kin terrible.

    c.... ....

    @Lunatic Fringe Have a spliff and listen to The hour of bewilderbeast from start to finish

  13. B.... M....

    This song reminds me my crush when i see him that he impressed me. He walked away down the hall.

  14. z.... ....

    I adore this song.Perfect music,and lyrics,just amazing.

  15. b.... ....

    Beyond beautiful- great vibe running through my mind.

  16. P.... S....

    those lyrics just melt my heart, and the composing is absolutely gorgeous!

  17. B.... G....

    All of his songs lyrics are true poetry. But the music he matches for it just gets me lost and at times feels like it loses the meaning. If my spelling is fucked it is bkuz im on a tiny qwerty =\

  18. m.... ....

    very symular like New Order,good song!!

  19. K.... C....

    This album is up there with his very best!

  22. L.... ....

    It's got that 80s sound! When I first heard this, I thought it was a classic! :D

  23. m.... ....
