Favourite Travis Lyrics

[Travis Web Team]

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for signing up to the Travis Message Board. We hope you’re enjoying the space!

Over the next few days, we’ll be posting some questions and would love to hear your thoughts as we start planning the new Travis merch range.

Question 1: What’s your favourite Travis lyric or line, ever?

[sumiresailon]

Sunny days where have you gone?

Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday.

Waiting on a gust of wind to blow us away, away to better days, away to better days

The circle only has one side.

I want to sing to sing my song, I want to live in a world where I belong…

Something telling me don’t wanna go out this way but have a nice day.

But it’s alright, just follow the light, and don’t be afraid the dark, in the moonlight, you’ll dance till you fall, and always be here in my heart.

Paris Texas end of the world, New York New York, good bye girl

Every day I wake up alone because I’m not like all the other boys.

And they’ll never ever take your dreams away from you.

[Rayyy]

What had you heard, was it love, was it take another walk in the dark.

We all try hard to live our lives in harmony, for fear of falling swiftly overboard. But life is both a major and minor key, just open up the chord.

[Rayyy]

Waiting on a gust of wind to blow us away, away to better days, away to better days.

[almond]

Time exists but just on your wrist, so don’t panic

I’ve got a good feeling
Like I know how I’m feeling

And what’s a wonderwall anyway?

Today is the day
But only for the first time
I hope it’s not the last time

Oh look there goes another year,
About as distant as a satellite

Home and away
Life goes on the same, we bury the pain
And hold on to love

Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won’t love you and leave you
To mend the fence

Oh, why did we wait so long?

Until we’re gone, we’re moving on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on

No regret
Don’t you forget this magnificent time
Seize the day
Don’t throw away this magnificent time

Oh but I saw a ghost
In the mirror coming near
A little close for comfort tonight
He said
“It’s easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passing you by”

I wanna know what everybody wants to know
Oh, won’t you tell me what everybody wants to know?

I thought it was just us
Waiting on this bus

We are alive, we are alive
And as long as we are breathing, we can keep this dream alight

We are, we are who we are, who we are, Pour me one more before we raze the bar…So here’s to a new day, to hell with the past. Here’s to the future as long as it lasts. Raise your glass.

So count your blessings carefully, My darling, save your prayers, We are alive. And as long as we are breathing, we can keep this dream alight.

More than he,more than she, they all sleep, But we just dream… I wish that I could fly, fly, fly away, and if I should fall, and you hear me call, would you stay…

Oh I saw a ghost in the mirror coming near, a little close for comfort tonight, ooh he said “It’s easier to be alive, than hide under your pillow while,while your life is passing you by”, so live your life…

[Diana-PipeDreams.girlie]

I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind
I had been dreaming but I didn’t mind
I signed the line and the woman looked right through me
She didn’t smile

I’d pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or lose isn’t gonna change a single thing

[Diana-PipeDreams.girlie]

You will travel many bridges
Sunken hopes and anchored wishes
You will kiss a million fishes on your way out to the sea
And they’ll trash your opinions until your face turns blue
But they’ll never ever take your dreams away from you

[Diana-PipeDreams.girlie]

I feel alive, I am aware of the colors in the sky
And where the birds don’t fly
And if the night is coming pretty soon
I’m walking through the dark with you

[rock.n.yarn]

Time exists just on your wrist so don’t panic

[JackieT]

I want to live in a world where I’ll be strong
I want to live
I will survive

But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

Well a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm

[DANIBLU3001]

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It’s just a bunch of feelings that we have
To hold but I am here to help you with the load

So wind your watches down, please
‘Cause there is no time to lose
And I’m gonna stay here indefinitely
And I wanna stay here so just let me be

Coming home again
You’re the one I had in mind
Waiting on a friend
Waiting for the end of time

Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against

So live your life
Don’t waste your time
Oh live your life
Don’t waste your time

A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You’re funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine

I’m just happy to hang around

Cause I like you
And I’d like to
Be free, be free,
be free, be free

Baby, there’s something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing

Just need to get closer, closer

Hold me close
Don’t leave so soon
Let all the flowers bloom
And don’t let go or I will blow
Away into a different room

I’m not doing a rehearsal
Wanna make the first mistake
And if life was a reversal
It would be a single take

So let your walls come crashing down
Let your dress fall to the ground
Let me see your smile
Let the call of the wild
Be your words for awhile
Be a song for awhile

And tomorrow will never be the same as yesterday
So you live in the moment never looking either way

But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

And they’ll trash your opinions until your face turns blue
But they’ll never ever take your dreams away from you

Me I’m on the longest road.
Where everything’s overload.
But I’ve got my heart and soul,
so don’t throw me overboard

My love is an open book
An open book with its pages torn
Stick with me and I will keep you warm
I’ll give you shelter from the coming storm

And that’s why it’s quite hard
To get through this alone
You’re the only one
I can talk to about it
In my darkest night
I will be on my own

We’re all born in total ignorance
Perfect as a happy accident
Lose yourself, see how far you can go

[TheInvisibleBand2]

Some of my favorite lines:

Colder, crying over your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her everything’s gonna be fine

You’re driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

You’re one in a million hearts
Letting go of you is tearing me apart

And now your childhood is over
You’re a man they have said
You silently shoulder all the plans they have made
You pack down your boxes and ask ‘Who am I?’

[Alana]

oooh fun. I’m gonna read the responses and reply properly, but I was quoting this lyric to my kids today ha: “What you have is enough; what d’ya want with so much stuff? What you need is a hug from a passenger you love (one you love).”

[Alana]

A combo of my personal faves and ones I read on here and thought, ‘ah, yes, I’d wear that lyric’
– Like all the things we try, aye, aye, I know where it’s headed, and so… I forfeit my time
– You don’t need an invitation to drop in upon a nation, The Beautiful Occupation
– Keep your eyes on the prize and your head in your hands
– Time exists but just on your wrist; don’t panic
– I’m sorry that you turned to Driftwood…but you’ve been drifting for a long, long time.
– What a Wonderwall, anyway?
– Why did we wait so long?
– Here’s to the future, as long as it lasts.
– Love will come through, it’s just waiting for you.
– Life is both a major and a minor key, so open up the chord.
– I color in the world I see, I pick apart the melody, ’cause maybe there’s a symphony caught inside but there’s no way out.

[Typing to Reach You]

Some favourites that I can also imagine working well on merch!

Time exists just on your wrist, so don’t panic!
Love will come through, it’s just waiting for you.
The grass is always greener on the other side.
I wish that I could fly fly fly away.
I’ll be doing fine until you shine. Gaslight!
Closer, closer, lean on me now.
So where’s the stars? Up in the sky. And what’s the moon? A big balloon.
Life is both a major and a minor key. Just open up the chord.
Writing to reach you (OK it’s the song title, but clearly good for stationery 😂)

[Kirstin (Flower in the window)]

If I can only pick one….

I’ll take the sky you keep the ground.

Only cause I have that tattooed.
Although I also have
The world will never see you til you open your eyes.

Okay it’s too hard!!

Can I just say, seeing them all together really highlights what a bloody wonderfully talented bunch of songwriters. ♥️

[BabyGrace]

I have a lot 🙂
-Time exists just on your wrist, so don’t panic!
-Rainbows missing presumed dead
-Be the change you wanna see, seek the truth, set it free
– I hope that you spontaneously combust and give us all some peace at last
-The biggest trick, the biggest trick they play on you, to make you think the show won’t go on without you
-Where you stand there is no ocean, nor a river nor a shore
.And the things that make you happy will bring you sadness, bring you heartache, how will we learn from our mistakes if we never let them show?
– You can’t do everything at once but you can do anything you want
-This city’s so cold and old, forever rain or snow
-Everyday is like the movies, third world war on the rise
-I’m seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
-Welcome in, welcome in. shame about the weather

[Darran]

“ Cause people seldom change
They all just stay the same”

“How will we learn from our mistakes,
If we never let it show”

“Whatever you’re going through,
It’s not worth dyin”

That’s for a start.

[Arzu]

Ah too many but some are :

– I think you should be framed in some Fine Art gallery
I know you’d disagree with me but I love you anyways

– Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever’s in my eye should go away
Still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what’s a wonderwall anyway?

– Cause there is no design for life
There’s no devil’s haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb
Or step around

– Well how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you’re after
Year after year after year

Well I’ve been running
But I’ve been running around
Now there’s nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view

– You waste the time they treasure dear
My only thought is that they could be right
Oh look, there goes another year
About as distant as a satellite

– There’s a picture in white of Che Guevara
As he sits beneath the tree
But that’s not important
But he looked a bit like me

– We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
This circle only has one side

– Take a trip, down memory lane
You will never wanna go again

– People get down, people get hurt
And when you did it to me
I was already in the dirt

– In the church one day you’ll get hurt
In the school teacher’s such a fool

– And on my heart I wear a sleeve that you knitted for me
And you just wanna pull that thread and unravel me

– And now your childhood is over
You’re a man they have said
You silently shoulder all the plans they have made
You pack down your boxes and ask ‘Who am I?’

– Because I thought the only thing between us
Was somethin’ shallow, not a river so deep, we see us
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester

– This is no rehearsal, this is the take
Promises you once kept are gonna break

– So take me down when you wanna go down any avenue
Be my love at the back of your car
Pulling down the roof

– Standing at the window yawning
Watching the rain
I never really felt belonging
And never again

– Oh, what’s the point in wallowing in regret?
What’s the use in worrying before the course is set?
There’s always time, please don’t forget

– 44 billionaires and they’re sittin’ pretty
Countin’ crypto in their caves high above the burning city

– When will you learn your lesson
When will you see the light
When will you count your blessings
Not the score?

[cony]

The fear. The whole lyrics, that song is a poem 🫶

[Sirius]

I want to live in a world where I belong

Time exists, but just on your wrist so don’t panic

But it’s alright, just follow the light, and don’t be afraid of the dark

Until you reach your shore, you’re driftwood floating on the water

I’ll take the sky, you keep the ground

[cony]

bonus: “be my love at the back of your car” ❤️‍🔥

‘nothing is set in stone’
‘yin and yang’
my thoughts:i took them as impermanence, all the good and bad things have end, they change. so live the present with thinking and feeling.

[Juliespar]

I just feel it’s me, falling off the tree.

Come out and fight for love and life.

Sing, sing, sing

All I want to Do is Rock

And I got a kick out of you

[Vince]

– We all will live, we all will die

This circle only has one side..
– It’s easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin’ you by”
So live your life
Don’t waste your time
– Well, we all take our chances every day
Every second, every day
We’re making advances anyway
When you look the other way

[M4RIE]

One of the best lyrics – Talking shit while walking, what a talent you possess

[MadysC]

There are too many.

You piked a time a very fine time.
Too look at me, you’d see that I was fine.
Happy too, just towing on your line.
But you’re afraid of what you’ll find behind
In twenty years from now, I ll be the same.

Poison on an IV drip
14 years so sick of it
I’ve finally given you the slip.

New shoes, old blues.
Walking round the streets of.
London Town singing
Up on the roof
If I loose, you loose.

Away too better days.

Deep in my heart, I m afraid of dying
I’d be lying if a said I’m not.

When the blue sky turns to grey
Ma vie
My oh my.

You’re only happy when you’re dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming ‘bout nothing much.

Oh I’ll try and tell you all the reasons why.
Was outta line, cross my heart and hope to die.
And so we go, holding onto things we know.
Hanging out to dry, spread our wings and fly.

This is no rehearsal this is the take,
Promises you once kept, are gonna break

[MadysC]

Don’t you know it’s hard, quite, in a time of confusion
To tell you that I love you
You see it could have been me instead of you
It could have been me if I wanted to
But it wasn’t, so we’ll have to face the truth

Time to pull the shutters down
Breaking clouds don’t make a sound
When they cry

There’s soo much world outside the door

The little people hard very little left to say
Their words had all been shortened
It’didn’t really seem important.

I had a premonition, a movie in my mind
Confirming my suspicions of what I would find
It followed me to LA, down to Mexico
Came in through the back door at the start of the show.

We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

Keep waking up (waking up)
Without you here (without you here)
Another day (another day)
Another year (another year)
I seek the truth (seek the truth)
We set apart (we set apart)
Thinking of
A second chance (a second chance)
