Sanctuary

About Sanctuary

"Sanctuary" is the debut single by Australian recording artist Gabriella Cilmi from her debut album, Lessons to Be Learned (2008). The song was first released digitally in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2007 as the album's lead single, and subsequently released in Germany and the Netherlands in December 2008 as its fifth single, reaching number sixty-seven on the German Singles Chart and number seventy-two on the physical sales-based Dutch Single Top 100 chart. "Sanctuary" utilises the introductory riff of Maxine Brown's 1964 version of "Oh No Not My Baby". Regarding the song's meaning, Cilmi explained, "I met someone who I felt really comfortable with and all those feelings that come with feeling comfortable with someone. The song is kind of about that, although I'm not even friends with that person any more." more »

That old pair of jeans
You always see my wearing when it's grey
You know what I mean
I'm riding a lazy mood

Cause you've been waiting got me ready to go
And I've been saying off the way that I know, keep me
Wise enough, nothing to owe
Guess I need ya and I want it to show

Lying here in my sanctuary
Days go past its autumn already
And I wish it would thunder
Lying here in my sanctuary
Day's go past it's autumn already
And I sit here and wonder
And I'll kick off my shoes
Think about the things I'd like to do
Everything going smooth
There ain't nothing I'd rather do

Cause you've been waiting got me ready to go
And I've been sraying off the way that I know, keep me
Wise enough, nothing to owe
Guess I need ya and I want it to show
Lying here in my sanctuary
Days go past its autumn already
And I wish it would thunder
Lying here in my sanctuary
Day's go past it's autumn already
And I sit here and wonder

What I say and what I mean, are two very different things
Can't tell life from lies got a bad sense of spins
What I say and what I mean are two very different things, babe, it's time to figure it out
Holding your hand in my hands and I wont let go
Keeping your words and your face is a place like home
I've been blind don't you know
