Atonement Lyrics by Bloc Party

A Weekend in the City B-Sides

2007

[Verse 1]
It will be hard, my love
It will be hard but it can be done
My kisses will put out
Out the forest fire I started
I will not let, I will not let
You get further from me
You must fight for me

[Chorus]
Oh, it was a funny feeling to be wanted
So, it was a funny feeling
We only ever notice, we only ever notice
When it seems like all is lost
You know it meant nothing to you

[Verse 2]
Remember the good times?
Remember me sleeping by your side?
Remember the feeling
That you were safe in my arms?
I still see sons in you
My sons of sons in your eyes
This love's not over
This love's not over

[Chorus]
Oh, it was a funny feeling to be wanted
So, it was a funny feeling
We only ever notice, we only ever notice
When it seems like all is lost
You know it meant nothing to you

[Bridge]
And we can make a raft from all the dead trees
And set sail for better times
To a time when this love was not poisoned
I was kind and I was kind
And we can make a raft from all the dead trees
And set sail for better times
To a time when this love was not poisoned
I was kind and I was kind

[Chorus]
(Atonement) Oh, it was a funny feeling to be wanted
(This is my atonement) So, it was a funny feeling
(This is my atonement) We only ever notice, we only ever notice
When it seems like all is lost
(This is my atonement) You know it meant nothing to you
(This is my atonement)

[Outro]
It will be hard, my love
It will be hard but it can be done
