Keane - Is It Any Wonder

I, I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
And so on, but now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

Sometimes
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
But sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme, a sound bite

Is it any wonder that I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

Nothing left beside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
How do you make it right

Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

Kalo gak salah, pertama kali lagu ini pas jaman kuliah. When me, and my ex, Sakana-sama, were at my house. Liat videonya pas di MTV. Dan dia, yang seorang die hard fan of britpop music, langsung suka lagu ini. Sedangkan gw, yang ngeliat muka vokalisnya, yang menurut gw bermuka nyolot, dalam seketika itu juga gak suka sama lagu ini. Dan saat lagu ini dikumandangkan dimana2, gw tetep kekeh gak suka.

Dan beberapa hari yang lalu, saat gw lagi baca manga scan ditemenin si winamp yang nge-shuffle lagu di playlist gw, terdengarlah lagu ini. Dan karena gw terlalu males buat mencet tombol next track, ya udah gw diemin. Dan ternyata oh ternyata, setelah gw mendengar liriknya dengan seksama, gw suka. Dan akhirnya, gw bikin repeat track-nya on. Dan akhirnya selama berjam2 gw mantengin komputer, cuma lagu ini yang gw dengerin. Dammit, gw jadi suka lagu ini. Basi abis. Disaat orang udah pada mulai muak denger lagu ini, atau bahkan mungkin, udah pada mulai kangen lagu ini, gw baru mulai suka.

Dan gw langsung donlot album Keane.

Dammit
