It's that ancient love, that you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay, it's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way that you throw me down
And I'm inches above the dust on the ground
I await your call, I await your crown
Let's change our roads, and chase them all around
It's that subtle way that you throw me down
and I'm inches above the dust on the ground
And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love, that just moves along
There's an itch so slight, even when you're gone
Well I met you right, but I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground that you are walking on
And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now
It's the fee you pay, it's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way that you throw me down
And I'm inches above the dust on the ground
I await your call, I await your crown
Let's change our roads, and chase them all around
It's that subtle way that you throw me down
and I'm inches above the dust on the ground
And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love, that just moves along
There's an itch so slight, even when you're gone
Well I met you right, but I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground that you are walking on
And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now

I treasure this song so much. The atmosphere of it is just breathtaking.
I feel like it's about someone that he never got over.
"It's always quiet now" Putting it that way implies that it wasn't always like this. They stopped talking.
story of my life.
I don't know why it made me so sad, but it's just a really great song.
Such a good line, and the feeling is easy to relate to.
"I await your call, I await your crown
Let's change our roads, and chase them all around" > maybe he's waiting for her to come back?
"And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don't hide it, I don't hide it now" > even though things are over, he's admits he still has feelings for that person
"There's an itch so slight, even when you're gone" > the "itch" is missing the person
"Well I met you right, but I kept you wrong" > it started off well, but he let her go
"And I must wait until I've found the ground that you are walking on" > and now he wants to find her again.
Anyway, there's my interpretation, I'm not so sure about it, but then I never really am with Bombay Bicycle Club lyrics. I like this song, but by far the best bit is the lead guitar riff for me.
Under rated band, doing great songs. Song is about me, slowly learning that your are in a relationship that you shouldn't be in, just because you were childhood sweethearts is no reason to put up with their crap because you have never known anything different.
