Phil Collins - We Fly So Close (2015 Remaster Official Audio)

Track from the Phil Collins album Both Sides (1993).

Stay up-to-date with Phil Collins:

Lyrics
We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...'

My harbour lights are fading fast
soon they'll disappear
alone I sit in darkness
hoping someone might come near
though I wait, though I try
no one ever comes
and the feeling that I have flood over me
the river starts to run

We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close

Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
there are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just won't burn
all my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
and the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise at last

We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close

My heart is racing much faster now
life passes before my eyes
something's I see, they make me smile
something's they make me cry
so I look, so I try to find
a lesson I can learn
the passing of time hasn't changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return

You know we fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close

We fly so close, you and I sometimes
sometimes we fly so close,
we'll never know how many times
we fly so close
we fly so close

Je t'écoute rai toute ma vie. Que Dieu apaise ta peine je sais pas pourquoi mais c comme si t'as besoin de ça en ce moment. Peut être je me trompe mais je t'admire fort comme un père même si je suis black... Soit fort lâches rien car tu t'es toujours battu peu importe ce qui ce passe dans ta famille.. Si j'étais ton enfant je serai fière de toi

Am I the only one getting In The Air Tonight vibes from this? Same tempo, same key, similar chords...

[Strap]

A song for eternity. One of Phil´s most underrated songs ever! Perfect from the first second to the last! So many good and also sad memories in just 1 song.

[mubblemann]

Without question one of his greatest songwriting achievements. Incredibly powerful and emotional song.

This song is so wrought with emotional overtones that it leaves my heart crying and my soul sent on an rollercoaster ride that it will make you questions the choices we make in our everyday lives.

Lyrics

('We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...')

My harbour lights are fading fast
soon they'll disappear
Alone I sit in darkness
hoping someone might come near
Though I wait, though I try
no one ever comes
And the feelings that I have flood over me
The river starts to run

We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close

Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
There are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just won't burn
All my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
And the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise at last

We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close

My heart is racing much faster now
Life passes before my eyes
Something's I see, they make me smile
something's they make me cry
So I look, so I try to find
a lesson I can learn
The passing of time hasn't changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return

You know we fly so close
Uuh we fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close

Oh we fly so close, you and I sometimes
Sometimes we fly so close,
We'll never know how many times
Oh we fly so close
We fly so close

Why isn't this song played on the radio ?

[klct]

At some point this year, this song will already be 30 years old :O

[illidanr]

This song is amazing. Its needs an official video

[WCD]

A incredible ballad, with a haunting spiritual ambiance and the particular sound of the guitar of the opening (he played all the instruments of the album). The rage of the song remains of her peformance of ''Do You Know Do You Care'' or ''I Don't Care Anymore'', but for this, he also expressed her sadness of the situation and analysed his situation. This song was a incredible pop ballad. A particular ambiance and also the thunder at the end finished in beauty this song. This will be my second favorite song of his career and also my favorite song of the ''Both Sides'' album.

[loopycyclist]

First time I heard this song I was blown away and for me it's he's best solo song ever. So powerful and emotional.

[susanaconceicao]

We fly, we fly and we fly...
life itself is an eternal flight, and between departures and arrivals, we stop and look, trying to analyze if it was worth it...
it was worth life for happiness,
was worth life for the falls...
but it was worth it because it was lived with intensity.
If it was worth it to me? I'm still here, some happy moments, others sad, others asking for answers...
and in others why?
A good song... that makes us reflect Phil Colins.
