Phil Collins with Genesis - In Too Deep, 1986
It's probably the full moon, or the two cups of cafe mocca that I consumed after 11 pm last night, or the conversation I had with a friend at dinner. Anyway, whatever it is...it's probably this song---it brings out the mushy-ness in me! I hope you'd join me in this sentimental journey and feel free to sing along (you can even make up your own MTV).:D
All that time I was searching
nowhere to run to
it started me thinking
Wondering what I could make of my life
and who would be waiting
Asking all kinds of questions, to myself,
but never finding the answers
Crying at the top of my voice
and no one listening
All this time, I still remember everything you said
There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget?
Listen, you know I love you, but I just cant take this,
You know I love you, but Im playing for keeps,
Although I need you, Im not gonna make this,
You know I want to, but Im in too deep.
So listen, listen to me
You must believe me
I can feel your eyes go thru me
But I dont know why.
I know youre going, but I cant believe
Its the way that youre leaving
Its like we never knew each other at all
it may be my fault, I gave you too many reasons,
being alone, when I didnt want to
I thought you'd always be there
I almost believed you...
All this time, I still remember everything you said
There's so much you promised
how could I ever forget?
Listen, you know I love you, but I just cant take this
You know I love you, but Im playing for keeps
Although I need you, Im not gonna make this
You know I want to, but Im in too deep.
So listen, listen to me, I can feel your eyes go thru me
It seems Ive spent too long
Only thinking about myself
Now I want to spend my life
Just caring bout somebody else.
You know I love you, but I just cant take this
You know I love you, but Im playing for keeps
Although I need you, Im not gonna make this
You know I want to, but Im in too deep...
I liked the songs of Phil Collins when he was still with Genesis. I have their greatest hits CD. I think the sound and lyrics were better. Aside from this song you featured, my other fave Genesis songs are That's All, No Son of Mine, and Hold On My Heart.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't too fond of his songs after he went solo. Like Peter Cetera's songs after he left Chicago, I just found Phil's songs from his solo years too commercial. I wish he just stayed with Genesis.
