Florence And The Machine

I believe in you And in our hearts we know the truth And I believe in love And the darker it gets, the more I do Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light And the days will become endless And never, and never turn to night And never, and...

The lights are on, But you're not home Your mind, is not your own Your heart sweats, Your body shakes Another kiss, is all it takes You can't sleep, you can't eat There's no doubt, you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another kiss...

And the heart is hard to translate, It has a language of its own, It talks in tongues and quiet sighs and prayers and proclamations, In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures, In short shallow gasps! But with all my education I can’t s...

Are you hurting the one you love? You say you've found heaven but you can't find god Are you hurting the one you love? Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood Are you hurting the one you love? So many glasses on the tabletop Are you hurting the one you lov...

You need a big god Big enough to hold your love You need a big god Big enough to fill you up You keep me up at night To my messages, you do not reply You know I still like you the most The best of the best and the worst of the worst Well, you can neve...

Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by, Saw what I'd done, He set up a nest outside, And he sang about what I'd become, He sang so loud, he sang so clear, I was afraid all the neighbours would hear, So I invited him in just to reason with him, I p...

Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Until I realized that it was you who held me under Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows o...

All alone It was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaki...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Woah I was looking for a breath of a life For a little touch of heavenly light All the choirs in my head sang No... To get a dream of life again A little vision of the start and the end But all the choirs in my head sang No......

It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do To try and keep from calling you Well, can my dreams keep coming true How can they, cause when I sleep I never dream of you As if the dream of you, it sleeps too But it never slips away It just gains its stren...

[Verse 1] I tried to control my shaking With just one sound I tried to warm the ocean By writing it down I tried to tame my nightmare Line by line If I write a song about you Does that make you mine? [Chorus] The conductor caught in slow motion The...

Never was a cornflake girl Thought that was a good solution Hanging with the raisin girls She's gone to the other side Givin' us the old heave ho Things are getting kind of gross And I go it's sleepy time This is not really, this, a-this This is not r...

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In th...

Drifting through the halls with the sunrise Holding on for your call Climbing up the walls for that flashing light I can never let go Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine Holding on for your call Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine Ma...

Happiness hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her stuck still no turning back She hid around corners and she hid under beds She killed it with kisses and from it she fled With every bubble she sank with her drink And washed it away down the kit...

This song Is one I never thought that I'd play But if you want me gone There are kinder ways to say So long than spitting in my face They don't teach these things in school They just lay down the rules which are there for you to break Which are there for you...

I can't white for shit these days It seems I'm slowing I was knocked out by a fucked up day And I'm nowhere going. My head hurts and a flash back flirts with A numbing feeling, That life ain't taken happy away so it's time it's stealing So I rock back....
