Feels like a place I've never been
And I
Feels like a place I've never seen
Oh
Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving it a lot of time
Somebody threw you a lifeline
Somebody wakes to the sun in the sky
Others are living with hate in their eyes
Oh
The fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The ground beneath and the words that you talk
The fires that you own and the words that you talk
The ground beneath and the air that we walk
All gone
And yeah
Like pictures of the sun
And yeah
Just like sketches of the sun
The colours run
Somebody's giving it but I'm not
Somebody's giving up the whole lot
Somebody's giving it a long time
Somebody threw me a lifeline
Sometimes it's hard to see things straight
Trying to make sense of a single day
Sometimes you seem to spend your life trying
Well I'm just looking for my lifeline
Fires that you made and the earth that you walk
The ground beneath and the words that you talk
Fires that you own and the words that you talk
The ground beneath and the air that we walk
The air that we walk on
All gone
I
Feels like a place I've never been
Doves are an English indie rock band, formed in Manchester in 1998. The band is composed of twin brothers Jez (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums, vocals), and Jimi Goodwin (lead vocals, bass, guitar). Additionally, the band employs Martin Rebelski, as a touring and session musician on keyboards. The band released five studio albums between 2000 and 2020, three of which reached #1 on the UK album charts. A compilation album, The Places Between: The Best of Doves, was released in April 2010.
Doves went on hiatus in 2010. During this time, Goodwin released his first solo album, Odludek (2014), while the Williams brothers regrouped as Black Rivers. In December 2018, Doves announced they were ending their hiatus by performing for the Teenage Cancer Trust at London's Royal Albert Hall on 29 March 2019. Further festivals, including some dates with Noel Gallagher, were subsequently announced. The band released two new songs: "Carousels" and "Prisoners", in June and July 2020 respectively. Their fifth studio album The Universal Want was released in September 2020.
