Full lyrics of "Somewhere only we know" by Keane

Keane became one of Britain's biggest bands in the early 2000s and eventually skyrocketed to fame in the United States. Keane's big break came in 2003, when a small label agreed to release the single "Everybody's Changing." That song put the band on the map in England – a feeling Rice-Oxley described as "really exhilarating." Keane's debut album, "Hopes and Fears," sold nearly 6 million copies – due largely to the international success of "Somewhere Only We Know." The band's first four albums all went to number one in the U.K. But some critics mocked the band for wearing their hearts on their sleeves.

But in 2013, the band split. A reunion looked impossible after lead singer Tom Chaplin and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley both spiraled through personal crises. But criticism wasn't the only problem the band faced. Chaplin had an ongoing battle with drug addiction, which contributed to the band's breakup in 2013.

After all, this is a good news that the band has come back.

Full lyrics of "Somewhere only we know"

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 thing, where have you gone?

I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

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

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're 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

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're 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

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go?

So why don't we go?

Ahh

Ohh

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know

Somewhere only we know
