‘I’ve never gotten that stare.Lyrics to porcelain In my dreams I'm dying all the time Then I wake it's kaleidoscopic mind I never meant to hurt you I never meant to lie So this is goodbye? This is goodbye Tell the truth, you've never wanted me Tell me In my dreams I'm jealous all the time When I wake I'm going out of my mind Going out of my mind Struggling with Porcelain? I’m sure a child psychologist would probably say I wish he stared at me like that. Like staring at this guy on stage in a way I’d never seen him stare at somebody. "And then I remember at one point, my dad’s expression.

And I remember the screaming of the crowd." This big beam going across, through all the smoke - everyone is smoking cigarettes ( laughs). Because when you’re a kid you’re like, man, that thing is amazing.

But I remember this big spotlight going across. "And so it was just a rowdy, raucous, awesome crowd. They party hard, work hard, drink hard, everything was just full-on, and my dad was like that," Urban says. "Where I was raised, it’s a very working class city - very rural, very working class people.

"Saw the Man in Black / Spotlight in the air / Heard a thousand screams / Saw my dad’s stare / Feel like I’ve been runnin’ / Since the day that I was born / Eagle on my back / Phoenix on my arm," he sings. "That’s the loudest, drunkest group of people I had ever been around and it was exciting," he continues. "You’re five years old and just packed in this arena and I was just so mesmerized by how loud everybody was."įrom there, Urban begins to draw a connection between what he saw on stage and the first verse of his new song, a song released so quickly that he hasn't even stopped to consider how - or if - it will be included on his next album.
