Longing to Belong

i've had this song on repeat for the past 10 minutes....it's such a small simple little song with such beautiful lyrics. having the violin and the uke with ed's voice sounding so beautifully...i don't know why it's resonating so strongly in me, but it just is... i hope this gets recorded in the future, or hear it live someday. if not, it's a gorgeous moment in time for sure :)

***

i'm falling harder than i've ever fell before
i'm fallin faster, hoping i'll land in your arms
cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong to you
i dream of circles perfect, eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound that only you replace
and though the moon is rising, can't put your picture down
love, it's a frightening way to fall
and when the time is right, i hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired and the ocean becomes calm
i may be dreaming but i'm longing to belong to you

  • Woow, I agree so much! I downloaded these gems a little while ago(Satellite, LtB, and Your True) and was blown away. Cant believe I'd never heard them before. And couldnt stop listening to them either. Gorgous, beautiful songs. Then until I read your post of the lyrics to this song, didnt know they were so beautiful. The song now is even better as it has meaning for me. Thank you
  • I don't believe I've hear this before, but I do so love the lyrics.

    i know what you mean. isn't it amazing how a simple melody and af few words can evoke such a reaction?

    the way ed sings this line, "and though the moon is rising, can't put your picture down" - just beautiful.

    and jesus, "love, it's a frightening way to fall" - how fucking true is that?
