| Feels like this is being told from the point of view of a sort of mutual friend who knows both "he" and "she" very well. The "she" is one of those people who is always the shoulder to cry on for the "he." She of course loves him but doesn't say anything because he needs her to be there for her so he can vent about his own relationship problems, ignoring that she is very lonely herself. Eventually, she gets fed up with unrequited love and avoids him. He doesn't understand why she won't talk to him, and this is the mutual friend explaining her situation to him. Just speculation on my half, and it doesn't really look too deeply into the lyrics, so it's likely I'm wrong. Beautiful song either way. | |

| obviously it seems like it's about a guy and girl. But for some reason it reminds me of a mother and daughter's relationship. | |

| I've seen Keane live at V Festival 2004 (they are amazing live!) and Tom (the singer) said that this song was written by Tim (the pianist) for tom when he was feeling really down cos of this girl who had no time for him | |

| About people who think they are invisible to everyone, that no one cares about them... And have no idea how much they mean to people. "Somewhere, someone is thinking about you..." | |

| makes sense, whoever said they heard them live and quoted Chaplin "you like them, they don't like you back." The last verse is like Chaplin feeling sympathetic to anyone that has had that happen to them "Lonely people tumble downwards, My hear opens up to you, When she says she has no time for you now, She says she has no time." It reminds me of...me. Expect I'm not a she, but being away at college while my girlfriend is home, it's hard to come home and be with her. But I made time on May 19th to see Keane in Chicago!!! | |

| Ahh wow i saw keane at V 2004 too, they were pretty damn good. I thought that the way Tom jumped and spinned around the stage made the gig so much more lively. Brilliant. | |

| shadowsoal is pretty spot on i think. especially about the part where its written to someone not by someone. i think the situation could be as follows : the person that wrote the song is possibly in love with the girl but he is singing to her boyfriend saying how lucky he is "And she can hardly breathe without you " but how stupid he is being "Or lie to yourself And see it all dissolve around you" wat ya think? | |

| At first I always felt like this song didn't make sense because in the verses it seems like the girl is the submissive, devoted one in the relationship ("she can hardly breathe without you"), and yet "she has no time". But now I think that it's about a guy who's so intent on being pessimistic, he can't see how much she really cares about him. She might not have much time, but she still loves him but he ignores it ("or lie to yourself") to wallow in self pity and drag himself down. He is destroying himself and maybe the relationship because of selfishness. | |
