Arctic Monkeys - Only Ones Who Know Lyrics

Artist: Arctic Monkeys

Album: Favourite Worst Nightmare

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Alex Turner

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling
That it was a heart that he was stealing
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement
The eyes are bright he couldn't wait to get away
I bet the Juliet was just the icing on the cake
Make no mistake, no

And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted
Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own

And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch
Well all the little promises they don't mean much
When there's memories to be made
And I hope you're holding hands by New Year's Eve
They made it far too easy to believe
That true romance can't be achieved these days

And even if somehow they could have shown you the place you wanted
Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own
You are the only ones who know

    My interpretation of this song is that you can have everything you have ever wanted but you still won't be satisfied because you will alway believe it can be better.
