I don't feel as if I know you

You take up all my time

The days are long and the nights will throw you away

'cause the sun don't shine

Nobody ever mentions the weather

Can make or break your day

Nobody ever seems to remember

That life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away

And it's never gonna be the same

'cause the years are falling by like the rain

And it's never gonna be the same

Till the life I knew comes to my house and says

Hello

There ain't no sense in feeling lonely

I've got no faith in you

But I've got a feeling you still owe me

So wipe the shit from your shoes

Nobody ever mentions whoever

Can make or break your day

Nobody ever seems to remember

That life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away

And it's never gonna be the same

'cause the years are falling by like the rain

And it's never gonna be the same

Till the life I knew comes to my house and says

Hello

Hello<--- 3 times

[It's good to be back, good to be back]

Hello

Hello

Hello

(guitar solo)

    My Interpretation:Ok, I haven't heard this song for a while until tonight and it feels like Noel wrote it for me for how to get over my ex that split up with me 2 months ago. Theres so many lyrics that apply:

    'Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day' - this reminds me of a couple of nights before she broke up with me, she wouldn't speak to me about anything sensible so she started speaking to me about the weather. And if someone starts to talk about the weather then there not going to make or break your day.

    'We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away, And it's never gonna be the same' - speaks for itself and it wouldn't work if we ever got back together.

    'There ain't no sense in feeling lonely' - telling me to pick myself up and stop mopeing around.

    'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says, Hello' - this is the point i'm at after listening to this song again. Basically going back to my life again and saying hello to what I left behind when I got with her.

    'But I've got a feeling you still owe me, So wipe the shit from your shoes' - she still owes me money.

    'Hello, Hello, Hello....' - the future, looking forward to the future.

    This is how I see it anyway and I hope its the turning point! :)

    Song Meaning:'til the life I knew comes to my house and says HELLO.

    I don't think that line is about a girlfriend, I think it's about your old life, when you try to start again, you try to move on but your old life comes back.

    I love this song.

    General Comment:I think he is putting his relationship in perspective and talking to himself in is head about the attitude he's ready to take to move on. "its good to be back" is his realization of his freedom now that he has let go of the "past" He accepts that the relationship had its innocence but they blew it. So Move on.. Hello... Good to be back!

    Memory:Yeah so I actually just picked up the CD "What's the Story Morning Glory" a couple of weeks ago. It's delicious.
    When I first heard this, I was sort of falling asleep, it was late at night, and at first, I thought it was Wonderwall. When the wavy guitar came in, it scared the shit out of me. Good song though.

    General Comment:First of all, Is the line definitely

    "The years are FOLLOWING by like the rain" as opposed to "falling by like the rain". The latter would seem to make more sense.

    I believe this song is obliquely about a failed relationship. It is written to someone who, via their mistakes, ruined what was and/or could have been a great relationship. "Years falling by like the rain, it's never gonna be the same" implies that the time that's passed since things went bad make a reconciliation hard and/or impossible. "till the life I knew comes to my house and says hello" IE a momentous event.

    Great song. Liam's voice is perfect for it.

    General Comment:Lyrics are just great. But I don't really like the studio version of it and I don't even like it when it is sung by Liam. I like this song since I heard Noel coverin' it on the MTV acoustic back in '96.

    General Comment:If I had an anthem, this would be it.
    Some of my favorite lines: Nobody ever seems to remember that life is a game we play. (Basically, life is a game with no real meaning or point)
    We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away. (You could have done anything you wanted with your life, but you wasted it all)
    And it's never gonna be the same, cause the years are following by like the rain. (They never wrote a truer line. It just sums up all the pain and emotion that comes with growing up. Being 16, I listen to this song a lot and think how about growing up and how everything seems to be changing all at once)
    This song is just plain amazing. My anthem. :)
