About This Track

'Jealousy' by Will Young is a 2011 pop track from the album 'Echoes'. The lyrics move between regret and impulse, with the narrator taking things back, then admitting they “started the fire” while watching and following someone too closely. There is a sense of emotional self-awareness, the kind that turns fast from confession to consequence, as feelings build into something visibly burning. It is intimate, confessional, and edged with urgency, like a thought you cannot stop replaying.

"Jealousy" is a single by Will Young, from the album Echoes, released 21st August 2011. The track is 4:07 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Will Young.

Lyrics

Jealousy

I take it all back
All that I said
It comes out too fast
So I
Just couldn't help
The way that I felt
I started the fire

Watching you walk
I followed you there
Standing too close
It's hurting
I pictured the words
The warmth of your breath
I started the fire
It's burning

And it feels like jealousy
And it feels like I can't breathe
And I'm on, down on my knees
And it feels like jealousy

Seeing a light
A face in the crowd
My lonely heart is racing
And my whole world
Is under attack
What kinda love am I facing?
Is it me that you want
'Cause it's me you can have
Can you give me an answer?

I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of thinking

And it feels like jealousy
And it feels like I can't breathe
And I'm on, down on my knees
And it feels like jealousy

I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of thinking
And all these feelings
Taking over

And it feels like jealousy (hey)
And it feels like I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
And I'm on, down on my knees (oh)
And it feels like jealousy (oh, ooh, woah)
And it feels (oh, oh)
