Sense Lyrics

Hard to know
Maybe if I skimmed a stone
Walk a different way back home
It would all make sense
Or shut my eyes
Could lose myself teenage lies
If I fell in love a thousand times
Would it all make sense?

Cos I-I'm feeling pretty small
Sometimes I feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every night I've mend a hole it seems to break(?)

Call you up
And I can tell you just how much
No no, maybe I'll just get drunk
And it won't make sense
Or If I ??? so nice
Convince my friends that you weren't right
I could promise you my heart won't cry
Wouldn't it all make sense?

Cos I-I'm feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every night I've mend a hole it seems to break(?)
I-I'm feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every night I've mend a hole it seems to break(?)

Cover art for Sense lyrics by Tom Odell

I think this song is about a search for self fulfilment. "Maybe if I skim the stone, walk a different way back home it would all make sense." He is in a state of absence searching for meaning in any and everything, this idea carries on as he says " if I fell in love a thousand times would it all make sense." He is searching for change or things that have not happened in his life , hoping and wondering if maybe he has these experiences his life and his purpose would make sense.

In the chorus he is expressing how he feels like he is losing himself; that he is slowly slipping away. And that every chance he gets to hold onto himself or to attempt to recreate himself breaks.
