Stay Awake lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Take my fate in your hands,
We've got a lot that hasn’t even began
Something is calling us,
We’re breaking free,
I’m curious,
I need to see.

Like a flash before our eyes,
We're already into the night,
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.

(Yeah)

We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we’ll be this way forever,
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
Just stay awake, stay awake,
You can follow us to paradise,
Just stay awake, stay awake.

Bring me down, side by side,
While our reflections make our bodies collide.
So full of energy, nothing to hide,
No need to sleep, we come alive,
And if we’re gonna take this ride,
We can go wherever we like
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.

(Yeah)
We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we’ll be this way forever,
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
Just stay awake, stay awake,
You can follow us to paradise,
Just stay awake, stay awake.

Believe it.

Take my fate in your hands,
We've got a lot that hasn't even began
Something is calling us,
We’re breaking free,
I’m curious,
I need to see.

We're going on a journey
It was over like a flash before our eyes
We're going on a journey
It was over like a flash before our eyes
We're already into the night

Like a flash before our eyes,
We're already into the night,
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.

(Yeah)
We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we’ll be this way forever,
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
Just stay awake, stay awake,
You can follow us to paradise,
Just stay awake, stay awake.

Under Control lyrics - Ellie Goulding

I'll never forget that feeling
When I watched you disappear
When you made me stop believing
I could fight away the fear
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
But your love was never missing

I feel like I am breathing again
I feel like I am seeing again
I feel like I am breathing again
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh

All that's real is faded, like a car into the night
Like painkiller I take it
And I watch the world ignite

Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
But your love was never missing

I feel like I am breathing again
I feel like I am seeing again
I feel like I am breathing again
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh

I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh

I got it under control oh oh

I got it under control oh oh

I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh

I feel like I am breathing again
I feel like I am seeing again
I feel like I am breathing again
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh

I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh
I got it under control oh oh

Flashlight lyrics - Ellie Goulding (feat. DJ Fresh)

Do you remember boy when you were so cruel?
When you played the thief and I played the fool.
Gonna make you move, I’ll make you move, make you move
Spent so long crying over you, now I’m coming your way
Gonna make you move
Gonna make you move, I’ll make you move, make you move
Tracing faces in the sand
Now your dagger is in my hand

I’ll make you move, I’ll make you move, I’ll make you move
I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
Cause I can’t lose.
I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
I’m coming through.
I’ll make you run – oh, I’ll make you run – ah
I’ll make you run – oh, I’ll make you run – ah

Coming down on you with a flashing light, there’s nowhere to run
Baby you can’t hide
Gonna make you move, make you move, make you move
It’s too late now the table’s turned, there’s no going back and you’ll never learn
Unless I make you move
I’ll make you move, I’ll make you move, I’ll make you move
And you think I’m still broken-hearted, but you’ll never win the war you started
You'll never open your eyes

I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
Cause I can’t lose.
I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
I’m coming through.

And you think I’m still broken-hearted but you will never win the war you started,
You'll never open your eyes
I’ll make you run, I’ll make you run, I’ll make you run, I’ll make you run, I’ll make you run, I’ll make you run
Faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
Cause I can’t lose.

I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
I’m coming through.
I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
Cause I can’t lose.
I’ll make you run faster, faster, faster, flashlight
Flashlight, get outta my way, get outta my way
I’m coming through.
Get outta my way, get outta my way,
I’m coming through.

How Long Will I Love You? lyrics - Ellie Goulding

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash up on the sand

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you can

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you

Tessellate lyrics - Ellie Goulding

(originally by Alt-J)

Wild green stones alone my lover

Bite chunks out of me
You're a shark and I'm swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing

Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go, my love; it's very late
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate

Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you
Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart

Three guns and one goes off
One's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins

Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning, they'll nosh you up
They'll nosh the love away but it's fair to say
You will still haunt me

Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go my love; it's too late
'Til morning comes

Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart

Midas Touch lyrics - Ellie Goulding (feat. Burns)

You say you're going through changes
Every day it seems your life is up and down
And you say that you're looking for an answer
Everywhere you look it seems you can't be found

Like searching, trying to find the rainbow
No one's ever found it, yet it's told to be
But if you're looking for a lover
Everything you need, yeah, you can find right here with me

I've got the Midas touch
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
I've got the Midas touch
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

I've got the Midas touch
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
I've got the Midas touch
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

Now you've been trapped by love
Someone takes your heart and then says goodbye
So you say that you'll never love another
Tired of playing games and that's the reason why

But now whenever we're together
There's a certain feeling, that we both agree
And it's time that you've opened up to love
Cause if you don't ever try, then baby, you may never see

I've got the Midas Touch
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
I've got the Midas Touch
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

I've got the Midas Touch
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
I've got the Midas Touch
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

Together you and I we're meant to be
I'll be right beside whenever you need me
This love we have will never fade away
You can count on me cause I'm here to stay, yeah

I've got the Midas Touch
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
I've got the Midas Touch
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

I've got the Midas Touch
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
I've got the Midas Touch
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul

"Halcyon" (2012)

Don't Say A Word lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If you'd never said anything
If you'd never said anything
If you never, If you never
If you never, If you'd never said anything

If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never

Here it is in my hands
In my veins, and overlands
It spreads like fire, seeking air
To pull me in, my own funfair
Won't you come, won't you come
Won't you come, just don't say a word
Won't you come, won't you come
Won't you come, just don't say a word

If you never, if you never
Just don't say a word
If you never, if you never
Just don't say a word

I'm more alive I've ever been
So now I give you all my sins
I've chosen you, I've chosen you
But don't say a word

And if I save us, and I fall down
I will leave your words behind now
If you never, held me under, if you never hear my thunder

If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Just don't say a word

My Blood lyrics - Ellie Goulding

That feeling that doesn't go away just did
And I walked a thousand miles to prove it
And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts
The color of my blood is all I see on the rocks
As you sail from me

Alarms will ring for eternity
The waves will break every chain on me
My bones will bleach
My flesh will flee
So help my lifeless frame to breathe

And God knows I'm not dying but I bleed now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

The lost dreams are buried in my sleep for him
And this was the ecstasy of a love forgotten
And I'm thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets
And my blood is all I see
As you steal my soul from me

Alarms will ring for eternity
The waves will break every chain on me

And God knows I'm not dying but I bleed now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

Ohhh, ohh oh [x6]

And God knows I'm not dying but I bleed now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

And God knows I'm not dying but I bleed now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

Anything Could Happen lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over

Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could

After the war we said we'd fight together
I guess we thought that's just what humans do
Letting darkness grow
As if we need it's palette and we need it's colour
But now I've seen it through
And now I know the truth

That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could

Baby, I'll give you everything you need
I'll give you everything you need, oh
I'll give you everything you need
But I don't think I need you

Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over

Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could

I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
Oh, whoa

But I don't think I need you
But I don't think I need you
But I don't think I need you

Only You lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you

Only you can see the emptiness I feel
When you're with me
When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees

When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you
Only you
Only you

Only you can see the emptiness I feel
When you're with me
When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees

When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Only you

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you

Only you...

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you

Halcyon lyrics - Ellie Goulding

I know it's not over, baby I worked this out for sure
It's gonna be colder, now you've forced open the door
I know you better than I ever have before
I know you

I know you're a fighter
But you never fought for me when I was a shelter
So you're not heading home to me

We could be closer, we could be closer
We could be

When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

It's gonna be, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better

We'll take a long walk, down the alleys of these houses
And we'll talk, see what conversation rouses when we're alone,
When we're alone, it could be home

When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

It's gonna be, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better

Figure 8 lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Breathe your smoke into my lungs,
In the back of a car with you I stare into the sun,
Still not too old to die young,
But lovers hold on to everything,
And lovers hold on to anything

I chase your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day,
And then you take it all away,
And then you take it all away

Place a kiss on my cheekbone,
When you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow,
But something tells me I'm not alone,
But lovers hold on to everything,
And lovers hold on to anything

I chase your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day,
And then you take it all away,
And then you take it all away

So lovers hold on to everything,
And lovers hold on to anything,
So lovers hold on to everything,
And lovers hold on to anything

I chase your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day,
And then you take it all away,

I chase your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day,
And then you take it all away,
And then you take it all away

JOY lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Stood in the rain and watched you go
I feel a lump in my throat
And this is far from joy

I never seemed to learn
That high makes things harder
That high I get from you

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

I think of dying all the time
But I've got joy to take my side
Fear is my favorite ride ooh hey hoh

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

And then you see, oooh

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

Hanging On lyrics - Ellie Goulding (feat. Tinie Tempah)

You know we can get away
Because I'm calling your name
Every day I feel this pain
But you just turn and walk away

I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong, with you and me

Touch me and then turn away
And put your hands into the flame
Tell me if you feel this pain
Cause I don't want to be a ball and chain, nooo

I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong

[Tinie Tempah]
Give me the respect, forgive me and forget
We've got to get a grip, living on the edge
I barely even know this fucking woman in my bed
And if there's too much on my plate, then I ain't finishing my veg
And if anybody said the grass is greener on the other side
Well it ain't, swear on my mother's life
You got me wrapped up in your shit
I'm feeling mummified
I've only ever had this fucking feeling in my stomach twice
You gave me what I needed, and I gave her everything she wanted
Miss something 'bout your cleavage
Now why can't put my fingers on it
You're taking me the deepest
I thought that she was coming for me
If all women are from venus, then I guess I really got a rocket
You've got a noose around my neck, but I'm still hanging on
We've nearly reached the finish line up in our marathon
I spat a verse, she sang a song
She broke my heart, I took some Gaviscon

I just can't keep hanging on to you and me, with you, with me
With you, with...

Explosions lyrics - Ellie Goulding

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost
And I gave in
I lacked the things you need the most,
You said where have you been?

You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide
I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into
But you never tried

I've fallen from grace
Took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost
I've loved and I've lost

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same

You left my soul bleeding in the dark
So you could be king
The rules you set are still untold to me
And I've lost my faith in everything

The nights you could cope,
Your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

And as the floods move in
And your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind
I know you better than you think
'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion
I pray that you'll find peace of mind
And I'll find you another time
I'll love you, another time

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

I Know You Care lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Clinging to me
Like a last breath you would breathe
You were like home to me
I don't recognize the street

Please don't close your eyes
Don't know where to look without them
Outside the cars speed by
I never heard them until now

I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it

Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
And I know you care

I used to run down the stairs
To the door and I thought you were there
Do you shape through the comfort of us
Two lovers loved out of love

Oh, but I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it

Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin

And know it wasn't always wrong
But I've never known a winter so cold
Now I don't warm my hands in your coat
But I still hope

'Cause this is how things ought to have been
And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed
Why can't I dream
Why can't I dream

'Cause I know you care
And I know you care
I know you care
I know you care
I know it's always been there

Atlantis lyrics - Ellie Goulding

This is new
Feels unused
I've never met anyone like you

Frightening
Feeling naked
Sense in searching something sacred

I'll forget you not
I'll forget you not
I'll forget you not
I'll wait for you... maybe

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

I'm exhausted with loving
No fight in me- I'm defeated
I know I'm fooled, I can't help it
You make my heart so helpless

I'll forget you not
I'll forget you not
I'll wait for you... for you... maybe
I'll forget you not... I'll forget you not
I'll wait for you maybe

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Dead In The Water lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If I was not myself
And you were someone else
I'd say so much to you
And I would tell the truth
'Cause I can hardly breathe

When your hands let go of me
The ice is thinning out
And my feet brace themselves

I'm there in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm there in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

You've seen this all before
Life left on the shore
We're smiling all the same
You sail away again

I'm there in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm there in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

Oh yeah
I'm dead in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

I'm dead in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

I Need Your Love lyrics - Ellie Goulding (with Calvin Harris)

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

[Beat break]

I need your love

I take a deep breath every time I pass your door
I know you're there but I can't see you anymore
And that's the reason you're in the dark
I've been a stranger ever since we fell apart
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

[Beat break]

I need your love

Am I dreaming? Will I ever find you now?
I walk in circles but I'll never figure out
What I mean to you, do I belong?
I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

[Beat break]

I need your love

All the years
All the times
You have never been to blame
And now my eyes are open
And now my heart is closing
And all the tears
All the lies
All the waste
I've been trying to make it change
And now my eyes are open

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free

[Beat break]

Ritual lyrics - Ellie Goulding

We run into a blazing fire
We hold our heads up high tonight
And we breathe the smoke, the fear real
We let our hearts subside tonight

But it marks my skin ‘cause I know I’ve sinned
And it plagues the air, on my house looming
There’s a sound out here in the darkest woods
And I know my fears are understood

It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
It’s a ritual, and I know you see it
It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

We move into the devil’s shoes
It’s far too late to be rescued
From highway seas and thunder skies
We see our fate, you hear our cries

They go, oh oh oh oh
And it won't stop here, echo in my ear
There's a raging fire, and it burns so near
But I'm ready now, but I’m ready now

It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
It’s a ritual, and I know you see it
It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
It’s a ritual, and I know you see it
It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all

Oh we lose it all
We lose it all

It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
It’s a ritual, and I know you see it
It’s a ritual, and I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all

The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all

In My City lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If I ever had a wish in the whole world
I would’ve listened to my brother when he spoke to me
And I never would’ve played with my conscience
In the fields where I was in their company

But You gave me wings and I used them
I used them, I used them on my youth
And You gave me wings and I used them
I used them, and I won’t lose them

Now I found my feet, count to 1, 2, 3
And I’m taking off tonight, now I’m free
As I walk my feet on the cold concrete
And I and I and I

I can feel my dreams when I’m in my city
I fall on my knees for my, for my city
We’re going off the dream in my, in my city
And that’s where I’ll stay
And that’s where I’ll stay
In my city

Rolling down the streets in my new town
With the lights blinding and my heart played down
I think I’ll get a job with stealing people’s thunder
But the folks back home I’ll make them vouch

You gave me wings and I used them
I used them, I used them on my youth
Yeah, You gave me wings and I used them
I used them, I don’t wanna lose them
I don’t wanna lose them

I can feel my dreams when I’m in my city
I fall on my knees for my, for my city
We’re going off the dream in my, in my city
And that’s where I’ll stay
And that’s where I’ll stay
In my city

Shoulders ache for wanted wings
My city shakes, the fear in me

I can feel my dreams when I’m in my city
I fall on my knees for my, for my city
We’re going off the dream in my, in my city
And that’s where I’ll stay
And that’s where I’ll stay
In my city

Without Your Love lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Sooner or later I'll be heading home
Sooner or later I'll be on my own
June into summer; I'll wear out my shoes
June into summer; got nothing to lose

Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Move in the sun 'til I burn all my ties
Maybe they're scratching the watery eyes
I think I've been waiting for this all my life
Coldest dark kisses left frozen in time

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere
Without your love I'm getting somewhere

The Ending lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...

I’m living on the wild side
I’ve never seen a footprint
In the land of rivers
You’re my only bridge

And I feel the fear in me
And I don’t wanna fall asleep
When I turn into someone else
I know that it can’t be beat

If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...

If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...
If you lock me out...

If you lock...
If you lock...
If you lock...
If you lock...
If you lock...

Will you know who I am?
Will you know who you are?

Will you know who I am?
Will you know who you are?

I think I’ve been praying
The lights won’t go out
My blood is getting colder
As I follow this road down

If you lock me out... (There won’t be anything to hold)
If you lock me out... (There won’t be anything to hold on to)
If you lock me out... (There won’t be anyone in the end)
If you lock me out... (There won’t be anyone in the ending)

If you lock me out... (There won’t be anything to hold)
If you lock me out... (There won’t be anything to hold on to)
If you lock me out... (There won’t be anyone in the end)
If you lock me out... (There won’t be anyone in the ending)

High For This lyrics - Ellie Goulding

(originally by The Weeknd)

You don't know what's in store
But you know what you're here for
Close your eyes
Lay yourself beside me

Hold tight for this ride
We don't need no protection
Come alone
We don't need attention

Open your hand
Take a glass
Don't be scared
I'm right here
Even though you don't roll
Trust me boy
You wanna be high for this

Take it off
You want it off
'Cause I know what you're feeling
It's okay, boy, I feel it too

Let it be baby breathe
I swear I'm right here
We'll be good; I promise
We'll be so good

Open your hand
Take a glass
Don't be scared
I'm right here
Even though you don't roll
Trust me boy
You wanna be high for this

Stay Awake lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Take my fate in your hands,
We've got a lot that hasn’t even began
Something is calling us,
We’re breaking free,
I’m curious,
I need to see.

Like a flash before our eyes,
We're already into the night,
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.

(Yeah)

We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we’ll be this way forever,
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
Just stay awake, stay awake,
You can follow us to paradise,
Just stay awake, stay awake.

Bring me down, side by side,
While our reflections make our bodies collide.
So full of energy, nothing to hide,
No need to sleep, we come alive,
And if we’re gonna take this ride,
We can go wherever we like
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.

(Yeah)
We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we’ll be this way forever,
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
Just stay awake, stay awake,
You can follow us to paradise,
Just stay awake, stay awake.

Believe it.

Take my fate in your hands,
We've got a lot that hasn't even began
Something is calling us,
We’re breaking free,
I’m curious,
I need to see.

We're going on a journey
It was over like a flash before our eyes
We're going on a journey
It was over like a flash before our eyes
We're already into the night

Like a flash before our eyes,
We're already into the night,
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.

(Yeah)
We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
The sun will never go down.
And we’ll be this way forever,
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
Just stay awake, stay awake,
You can follow us to paradise,
Just stay awake, stay awake.

"Lights" (2010)

Guns And Horses lyrics - Ellie Goulding

You're so quiet
But it doesn't faze me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy

Let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
But every fire is a lesson learned

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would [x4]

Let's type words
Because they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would [x4]

It's time to come clean
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would [x3]
I'd do it all for you, I'd do it all for you [x4]

Starry Eyed lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Oh, oh, starry eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars, then I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in, and throw out my heart and get a new one

Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Ah

Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh

So we burst into colors, colors and carousels,
Fall head first like paper planes and playground games

Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Ah

Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh

Next thing we're touching [x8]

Hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes [x2]

Whoa oh oh ah ah [x3]

This Love (Will Be Your Downfall) lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Who are we to be emotional?
Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all?
Oh, who are we to turn each other's heads?
Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?

Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy to cry for help
Oh, I don't think you know me much at all

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

I'm feeling down about this love

Who are you to make me feel so good?
Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?
Oh, who am I to say I'm always yours?
Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores?
Oh, I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart
We're falling on each other like we're always in the dark
Oh, I don't think you know me much at all, at all

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
(At all)

This love is not what you want
This heart will never be yours
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

Under The Sheets lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys, boys [x2]

You left a blood stain on the floor
You set your sights on him
You left a hand print on the door

Like all the boys before,
Like all the boys before

This is our luck baby, running out
Our clothes were never off
We still have our roads to run about
To scale the map, scale the map,
To get us back on track

I've seen you in a fight you lost,
I've seen you in a fight

We're under the sheets
And you're killing me
In our house made of paper,
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets
And you're killing me

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys, boys [x2]

In here the world won't bring us down
Our plan is gold dust
Out there a lonely girl could drown
In here we're frozen

Where did the people go?
My hands are empty
You're not the answer I should know
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before

We're under the sheets
And you're killing me
In our house made of paper,
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets
And you're killing me

We're in a mess baby,
We're in a mess babe
Your more is less babe
(Oh, oh)
We're in a mess baby,
We're in a mess babe
Your more is less babe
(Oh, oh)
We're under the sheets
And you're killing me
In our house made of paper,
And your words all over me
We're under the sheets
And you're killing me
(I've seen you in a fight you lost)
Like all the boys before,
Like all the boys before

We're under the sheets and you're killing me,
In our house made of paper, your words all over me,
We're under the sheets and you're killing me,
(I've seen you in a fight you lost)
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before,
We're under the sheets and you're killing me,
In our house made of paper, your words all over me,
We're under the sheets and you're killing me,
(Oh you're killin me, your killin me!)

We're under the sheets and you're killing me,
In our house made of paper, your words all over me,
We're under the sheets and you're killing me.
(Killing me, killing me, killing me.)
Killing me, killing me, killing me.

The Writer lyrics - Ellie Goulding

You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
And you're changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be

We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent
What's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it
You're wearing thin

But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

Sat on your sofa
It's all broken springs
This isn't the place for
Those violin strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do

But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
‘Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it’s too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted

You wait
I wait
Casting shadows

Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it’s too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

Why don’t you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don’t you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
‘Cause I’d rather pretend
I’ll still be there at the end
Only it’s too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

Every Time You Go lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Every time you go
Every time you go.

It starts with a picture,
And it sits in your frame.
And we part with a letter,
And it ends in my name.

And it starts with forever,
And it ends with a touch.
And I know that you're clever,
And I don't ask for much.

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together.

You said I'm arresting,
You said I had heat.
I really thought that we'd go further
The second time we meet.

Now I'm tired of trying to keep you.
All I want to do is sleep.
And perhaps, when I'm sleeping,
You'll get back on your feet.

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together.

Wake me up,
Wake me up.
Stop my fall,
Every time you go.

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently,
When I'm at my weakest.

It's not so hard
Every time you go.

I run a mount to meet you
When I knew a storm had come
I felt the rain on your face
And the damage you had done.

I know what you're thinking.
It will never be the end.
And when the storm is over,
You won't see me again.

Didn't know the price I paid for all the times I stayed
When we were together.

Wake me up,
Wake me up.
Stop my fall,
Every time you go.

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently,
When I'm at my weakest.

It's not so hard

Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Or maybe we forgot.

Wake me up,
Wake me up.
Stop my fall,
Every time you go.

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently,
When I'm at my weakest.

Wake me up,
Wake me up.
Stop my fall,
Every time you go.

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently,
When I'm at my weakest.

It's not so hard
Every time you go.

Wish I Stayed lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Why can't we speak another language, one we all agree on?
Why and when men look outside, do they see houses,
Instead of the fields they grew from?
We are constantly uprooted from them, making us tiresome and fearful,
Can you get up right now? Endeavour to free-fall.

'Cause you can fall if you want to, it's just a matter of how far,
You've treasured your home town, but you've forgotten where you are.
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found,
and it has been found wondering around.

With that skipping rope, the trampoline,
The crafty smoke that made us choke,
But we didn't give up hope.
It's the simple ways of getting paid,
The carelessness of running away,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed.

Patterns all arranged in my background,
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form.
Letters were all sent with no addresses so that people can't discover.
We're always undercover.
Why do I always draw triangles instead of words this paper so deserves?

'Cause you see,
I don't own my clothes but I own my mind,
And it's not what you've lost,
But it's what you find.

We found that skipping rope, the trampoline,
The crafty smoke that made us choke,
But we didn't give up hope.
It's the simple ways of getting paid,
The carelessness of running away,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed.

'Cause you can fall if you want to, it's just a matter of how far,
You've treasured your home town, but you've forgotten where you are.
And it will stay with you 'til you're mind's been found,
and it has been found wondering around.

With that skipping rope, the trampoline,
The crafty smoke that made us choke,
But we didn't give up hope.
It's the simple ways of getting paid,
The carelessness of running away,
Now, I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed,
I wish I stayed.

Your Biggest Mistake lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Take cover
Signs don't show
You drove me off the road

But you let go
'Cause your hope is gone
And every question fades away

It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
You know this is your biggest mistake

You tread water
Fighting for the air in your lungs
Move, move closer
Maybe you can right all your wrongs

But you let go
'Cause your hope is gone
And every answer fades away

It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
Well, you know this is your biggest mistake

Wipe the mud spray from the face
Stop the engine
Stop pretending
Wipe the mud spray from your face
Stop the engine
Yeah, stop pretending that you're still breathing

It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
Well, you know this is your biggest mistake

You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
Well, you know this is your biggest mistake

I'll Hold My Breath lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Breathe air you're not used to
Tread floors you don't fall through
Make waves...
You crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days in foreign places
Shed light on your better side
Reassure me that you'll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes!

And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all away, we'll blow them all away

Fight fires in your best clothes,
Touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder with the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wander to the next town
Force quit on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young,
That we're still too young and I'll hold my tongue

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all away, we'll blow them all away

I'm here, I'm here to take you
I'll swim, I'll swim to save you
No fall, I'm here to catch you
I'll swim, I'll swim to save you...

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears we'll blow them all away, we'll blow them all away

Salt Skin lyrics - Ellie Goulding

You're as sharp as a knife
and you fit like a glove
That is no way to live
that is no way to love
Full of fear in your skin
and the weakness in giving in

You're stabbed in the back but you feel no pain
Push the heaviest doors
that you can't open
Yeah they tied me up
and my body lies still, again

You're as bright as the sun
and as calm as the moon
I don't know when you'll break
but it's gonna be soon
If my will caves in, I'll be in the same
boat as you

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand...
"the meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words
that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth
unless you want me to
For all of the times that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor
and I found it again
But when it came back
No, I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand...
"the meaning of"

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand...

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand...
"the meaning"

Lights lyrics - Ellie Goulding

I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home

Voices I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unknown place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
(Home, home)
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Human lyrics Ellie Goulding

Human, behave yourself,
You have burst at the seams
Let it all fall out
Open your mouth
Often I lie wide awake,
Think of things I can make
But I don't seem to have the parts to build them

Human, I wonder why you're a better make than I could ever build or create,
You know not love or hate
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end
For I am not prepared,
I hope I will get the chance...

...to be someone,
To be human,
Look what we've done,
Look what we've done

I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be.

Human, I'm trying to come clean,
I will be a better me,
I will not drink until I'm dead
I'll make the most of it.
I don't know what it's like to be alive,
To say goodbye,
To cry a thousand times because my ears won't listen

Human, I'm trying not to lose my faith in you.
I've sussed out all that I've seen through,
I've sailed an ocean
I am so scared of what I'll look like in the end
For I am not prepared,
I hope I will get the chance...

...to be someone
To be human, look what we've done, look what we've done

I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be.

I used to hear it all so loud, the sound of my heart breaking.
The truth is waiting to be found,
I trust that I will take it

I would give my life.
I would give my life.
I would give my life.
I would give my life.

I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be human
I would give my life to be.

Little Dreams lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If a plane crashed into my room
I wouldn't even flinch, I couldn't try to
move. My mind is on you, my mind is on
you

If the streetlight smashed above me
I wouldn't move an inch. Turn the glass
into stars and your face is the moon
And the night turns to you, cos my mind is
on you

You've got me caught in a place
Panic for a minute, got my brain in a
daze, I wish you weren't in it, there are so
many ways to lose your attention.
You can break everything but so what I
can take anything, I can take anything,
I can take anything

If electric charges shock me, I'd smile
and fold my arms, I'd feel nothing new,
because my mind is on you

And if the floor gave way to my shoes,
I wouldn't try to fly, I can't explain what it
would feel, I just feel you

You've get me caught in a place
Panic for a minute, got my brain in a
daze I wish you weren't in it, there are
so many ways to lose your attention.
You can break everything but so what?
I can take anything

You're the heat in my bones, but you
break me with stones. You're the heat in
my bones, but you break me with stones
If a plane crashed into my room
I wouldn't even flinch, I couldn't try to
move. My mind is on you, my mind is on
you

Home lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Lonely thoughts they seep, into mind
into me
pushing deep
Wash the dirt, a hard days work
Know my place
On my own
No poison in my bones
On my own
This is where I build my home

My home,
this will always be my home

I work until it's late
Walk in and close the gate
I look in the window
and I gaze at my face
Every line and every abrasion
This took my life to make
This took my life to make
On my own
No poison in my bones
On my own, this is where I build my home
My home

I need someone, to hold
I need someone, to hold
My home
This will always be my home
This will always be my home

Animal lyrics - Ellie Goulding

I'll show you all of the places I'm dreaming of.
I'll take you to the ocean, I'll bring the sun
We are seventeen, we have just begun...
I have love to fight for and then some
But you are the one,
The one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one.

Wake up in the morning, we're paralyzed...
We'll fly into the garden like butterflies
There will be no blood and there'll be no pain
I want to fall in love with you again
Again again again again again again again again again

You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defences
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood.
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal

I'll tie you in my arms, I will smother you
We'll tell each other lies like we tell the truth
I'll colour in the sky and I'll colour you
I want to draw on your skin again
Again again again again again again again again

You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defences
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood.
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal

We will run away from danger
We will run away

You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defenses
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood.
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal

Believe Me lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Listen, I can hear the voice,
I need a helping hand,
Just to beat the void.
I need a mission,
A dream to stop me talking to myself
And now the silence is broken,
And my soul is to sell
I need to pick up the pieces
To scatter to the wind
Hold the city to your ears
You can hear the wind come in

But you can't change the world with a song
And you can't make it right when it's wrong

I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go,
It's playing for you.
I can't stop this voice unraveling round me whatever I do.
It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you,
However you lose
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me.

Don't let it slip through your fingertips.
When there's a ghost,
Don't try to reason with it
'Cause now I'm tired, I'm wired,
So I won't miss a thing.
I wrote my words out to dry
And I've forgotten what to sing

But you can't change the world with a song
And you can't make it right when it's wrong

I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop this voice unraveling round me whatever I do
It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you,
However you lose
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me.

If that's what it was to you,
Then that's what it was to me.
If that's what it was to you,
Then that's what it was to me.
If that's what it was to you,
Then that's what it was to me.

But you can't change the world with a song
You can't make it right when it's wrong

I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop the voice unraveling round me whatever I do
It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you,
However you lose
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me

I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop the voice unraveling round me whatever I do
It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you,
However you lose
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me
Believe, believe, believe me

Your Song lyrics - Ellie Goulding

(originally by Elton John)

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
See I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor, but then again no
Or a girl who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you

Oh [x8]

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

The End lyrics - Ellie Goulding

We've only ever kissed lying down
We've only ever touched
When there's no one else around
I can be elusive
If you want me to
I'm not being intrusive
I just wish I knew the truth

As to why
I wait for you
Longer than the average person would
And why
I think about you
More than I think one should

Our bodies fit together
Like a make-shift puzzle
And it's clear to see why you puzzle me
And you turn your frame
And you whisper my name
As though I am a burden

Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?

I am at your house
So I belong to you for now
Trying to impress you
But lord I don't know how
I can be a statue
If you want me to
I'm not being difficult
I just need to know the truth

As to why
I'm wanting you
And I would take you if I could
And why I'm still (lay?) here
It's something I still haven't understood

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
And you gave yourself to me

Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?

It's not the end
It's not the end
So don't lets pretend

Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm making up for you
So what's new?
So what's new?
So what's new?

All I Want lyrics - Ellie Goulding

(originally by Kodaline)

All I want is nothing more, hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more, to die a happy woman I'm sure
When you said your last goodbye, I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night, alone without you by my side.

If you love me, why'd you leave me?
Take my body, take my body
All I want is and all I need is
To find somebody, I'll find somebody like you.
Like you. Like you. You.

'Cause you brought out the best of me,
A part of me I'd never seen,
You took my soul and wiped it clean,
Our love was made for movie screens.

If you love me, why'd you leave me?
Take my body, take my body
All I want is and all I need is
To find somebody, find somebody.

If you love me, why'd you leave me?
Take my body, take my body
All I want is and all I need is
To find somebody, I'll find somebody like you.

Be Mine lyrics - Ellie Goulding (with Erik Hassle, originally by Robyn)

It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain
There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again
Just a sweet pain of watching your back as you walk
As I'm watching you walk away

And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said

It's a cruel thing you'll never know all the ways I tried
It's a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I'm falling apart inside

And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said

And you never were
and you never will be mine
No you were never were
and you never will be mine

For the first time there is no mercy in your eyes
And the cold winds hitting my face and you're gone
And you're walking away, away
And I am helpless sometimes
Wishing's just no good
Cause you don't see me like I wish you would

Cause you never were and you never will be mine
No you never were and you never will be mine

There's a moment to seize every time we meet
But you always keep passing me by
But you never were and you never will be mine
No you were never were and you never will be mine

There's a moment to seize every time that we meet
But you always keep passing me by
But you never were and you never will be mine

Beating Heart lyrics - Ellie Goulding

[from "Divergent" soundtrack]

Eyes make their peace in difficulties
With wounded lips and salted cheeks
And finally we step to leave
To the departure lounge of disbelief

And I don't know where I'm going
But I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'll be leaving in the morning
Come the white wine bitter sunlight

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
Before the bleeding sun comes alive
I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time
Before daylight

and the canyon underneath the trees
Behind the dark sky, you looked at me
I fell for you like autumn leaves
And Never faded, evergreen

And I don't know where I'm going
But I know it's gonna be a long time
'Cause I'll be leaving in the morning
Come the white wine bitter sunlight

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
Before the bleeding sun comes alive
I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time

I can't face this now everything has changed
I just wanna be by your side, here's hoping we collide
Here's hoping we collide
Here's hoping we collide

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
Before the bleeding sun comes alive
I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time
Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

Bittersweet lyrics - Ellie Goulding

[from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" soundtrack]

Your arms around me come undone
Makes my heart beat like a drum
See the panic in my eyes
Kiss me only when I cry

Cause you always want what you're running from
And you know this is more than you can take

Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Baby please don't look away
When the morning breaks us
Oh your touch, so bittersweet, ah ah ah ah
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us

Your cheek is softly by the sun
Makes my heart beat like a drum
I know it hurts you, I know it burns you
Hot and cold in a lonely hotel room
Look into me, tell me why you're crying I need to know

Cause you always want what you're running from
And it's always been that way, oh oh

Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Baby please don't look away
When the morning breaks us
Oh your touch, so bittersweet, ah ah ah ah
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us

Cause you always want what you're running from

Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Baby please don't look away
When the morning breaks us
Oh your touch, so bittersweet, ah ah ah ah
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us

Black & Gold lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If a fish swam out of the ocean, grew legs and started walking
And the apes climbed out from the trees, and grew tall and started talking
And the stars fall out of the sky, and my tears rolled into the ocean
Now I'm looking for a reason why, you set my world into motion

'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either
I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

I looked up into the night sky and see I saw an eye staring back
And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black
I feel a wave of something beyond though, I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn't real

'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either
I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

I want to be next to you

'Cause if you're not really here,
then the stars don't even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here,
then I don't want to be either I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

Closed For Love lyrics - Ellie Goulding

In the quiet
I heard a siren
Passing by
I shut my eyes

Are you hurting?
I lock my door
I'm closed for love
Don't wanna cry no more

Who will kiss my tears away?
You only made them fall
And it's crazy to hold on
What I'm holding on is gone
So now I'm closed for love

Who will kiss my tears away?
You only ever made them fall
So now I'm closed for love

You dropped me
To the ground
You stood right by
Said I should fly

Always flirting
Smiles soul
Those stroke my heart
It doesn't beat no more

And who will kiss my tears away?
You only made them fall
And it's crazy to hold on
When you won't open
So now I'm closed for love

Who will kiss my tears away?
You only ever made them fall
So now I'm closed for love

Friday morning
I had no warning
Friday night
I lost the fight

Were you aiming?
I wasn't sure
If I had first
I'm glad my back was turned

And who kiss my tears away?
You only made them fall
And it's crazy to hold on
When you won't open
So now I'm closed for love

Who will kiss my tears away?
You only ever made them fall
So now I'm closed for love
Who will kiss my tears away?
You only ever made them fall
You only ever made them fall
You only ever made them fall

Father lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Opened up a box of you,
Piece of paper or two,
With my name written on it, and a question mark
Who is this girl that I’ve made?
‘Cause I’ve been kept in the dark

And I’ve seen you once, Father
In the fear of your belts and leather,
And you were just about to tempter,
There was distance,
You’re my spout resistance
And I cant believe that you still don’t know me,
‘Cause I am a mystery

So I separated all the things that I have hated,
With the victories I’ve won,
And the biggest one was you,
You don’t know my street or the size of my feet or,
Or the time it took to grow,
‘Cause Father these are things you should know,
These are things you should know,

Knocked the breath right out of you,
But what’s a brown-eyed girl to do?
When her future lies on chasing paper,
And all I get from you is; “You’re so clever" and "I’ll see you later.”
And I just cant hide my frustration,
When there’s so much more you could have done,
Like given me hope and attention instead of ignore,
No I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind because he is just a boy,
Cause we are children,
We are merely children,
And he is just a boy,

So I separated all the things that I have hated,
With the victories I’ve won,
And the biggest one was you,
You don’t know my street or the size of my feet or,
Or the time it took to grow,
‘Cause these are things you should know

Fighter Plane lyrics - Ellie Goulding

[from "Under The Sheets" single] 

Stones falling down
Roller coaster, heart bound
Fears overplayed
Two left feet, emergency

Wide open space
Catch my tail, fishing net
Fold up my frown,
Take the rage and smooth it out (out)

Stick to my skin,
Paper maché face to live in
Save you to paint
Watercolor your name

Read every page
(You will never have to feel that way again)
All your chains underwent
(You will never have to feel that way again)
Face your mistakes
(You will never have to feel that way again)
Press the dents, fighter plane

I held the fort and I swung my sword
I have muted the screams, I have broken the falls

Oh, I held the fort and I swung my sword
I have muted the screams, I have broken the falls

Fighter plane
Fighter plane
Fighter plane
Fighter plane

Fly away

Fly lyrics - Ellie Goulding

In the window
Faces staring right past me
They're on a date, feeling happy
And I go in there and sit with them
Make them laugh
And be normal
For an hour and a half
Someone's tired
But not mine

'Cause I just fly, fly, fly
Only fly, fly, fly
When things are moving so fast
You don't have to take them in
When you're falling up high
You don't even have to think about it
About it

Know every station off by heart
Never get off
Just go back to the start of my journey
And I'm never as young as I want to be
I think I'll never worry

If I fly, fly, fly
I'll just fly, fly, fly
When things are moving so fast
You don't have to take them in
When you're falling up high
You don't even have to think about it
About it

Some day the sky will run out
The ground will pull me back down
Back to thinking straight
Never being late for love that I haven't found

But maybe I should try
Maybe I should try

I bet he's heavy
I feel weak
Talk to people
But they don't speak
Always moving, but I still don't know where I'm going

But that's okay, because I'll fly, fly, fly
I'll just fly, fly, fly
When things are moving so fast
You don't have to take them in
When you're falling up high
You don't even have to think

I just fly

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Ellie Goulding

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out, of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let the yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away

Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days, of yore
Faithful friends, who are dear to us
Gather near to us, once more

Someday soon, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through, somehow

And have yourself a merry little Christmas, now

Heartbeats lyrics - Ellie Goulding (originally by The Knife)

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away

Both under influence
We had a divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade

To call for hands from above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
Tonight to push and scream
And then relief

Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands from above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

To call for hands from above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you, you knew the hand of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night

To call for hands from above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

To call for hands from above
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

Here's To Us lyrics - Ellie Goulding

You're falling at your feet (giving everything up...)
There's something in the way, love is never enough
I see your sorry how I'm burning down the gun
With a war in your mind that never wants to be won
I catch you in a light no one else can see
I know you see her, and you'll never see me
She makes you feel the most, keep your souls alive
But what we had (it never really died...)

And this is what I'll say if I had any words
Wish we hadn't messed up, now your heart is with hers
And I know that your love wasn't here to stay
I gave you all of mine but you gave it away
And now you're the one who hurts
You had to love someone else just to know your worth

But here's to us, here's to us, here's to us
Yeah, this is just a phase, pretty sure of that
And one day, you and I, we will never look back
You kept me in the flames but the fire was out, the fire was out!

And this is what I'll say if I had any words
Wish we hadn't messed up, now your heart is with hers
And I know that your love wasn't here to stay
I gave you all of mine but you gave it away
And now you're the one who hurts
You had to love someone else just to know your worth

And this is what I'll say if I had any words
Wish we hadn't messed up, now your heart is with hers
And I know that your love wasn't here to stay
I gave you all of mine but you gave it away
And now you're the one who hurts
You had to love someone else just to know your worth

(But here's to us, here's to us, here's to us...)

How Long Will I Love You lyrics - Ellie Goulding

(Single Version)

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I can.

How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan.

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand.

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far.

How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can.

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say.

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.

[Spoken:]
We're all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives.
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride.

Just In Case lyrics - Ellie Goulding

(originally by Jaheim)

Think of how we made love almost anywhere
Haven't I taken you almost everywhere?
Think of all the things that, that we shared
Then imagine me not there, oh

Giving you more carrots than the rabbit
Got you living lavish
Anything I've got, you can have it
Baby I'll do magic
I'll do all I can to keep you satisfied
So just in case I don't make it home tonight, baby

Just in case I don't make it home tonight
Maybe make love to you for the last time, baby
Just in case, just in case
Wanna cherish each moment like the last
Cause baby you're all that I have, so just in case
Just in case I don't make it home tonight
Maybe make love to you for the last time, baby
Wanna cherish each moment like the last
Cause baby you're all that I have, so just in case

Case, night, I don't make it
Case, night
Case, night, I don't make it
Case, night, I don't make it
Case, night, I don't make it
Case, night, I don't make it

Just in case I don't make it home tonight
Maybe make love to you for the last time, baby
Just in case, just in case
Wanna cherish each moment like the last
Cause baby you're all that I have, so just in case

There's something you need to know
Just in case I don't make it home tonight
Maybe make love to you for the last time, baby
Wanna cherish each moment like the last
Cause baby you're all that I have, so just in case
You're my heart, you're my soul
Your heart makes me whole

Life Round Here lyrics - Ellie Goulding (feat. Angel Haze)

[Chorus: Ellie Goulding (x4)]
Part time love is the life round here
We're never done
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day

[Verse 1: Ellie Goulding]
Now we're at square one
And we wait too long
Til' we’re at square one

[Chorus: Ellie Goulding (x2)]

[Verse 2: Angel Haze]
I wonder how you'd feel if you were lost in my mind
Since you barely understand my thoughts sometimes
Little bit of depth and a little bit of God
Cause I swear that I be livin' in the dark sometimes
And it sets in here, nobody gets let in
'Til I let my emotions out on every single page and instrumental I'm left with
Shit, I wonder, will I ever really feel shit?
And if it all takes time and I ask why, will time eventually reveal this?
Cause... the remedy, I'm searchin' for the remedy
Cause I'm fucked up and my heart's just another ghost of my memory
Knock real hard on real real wood
Things still feel bad when they real real good
And my brain just a vessel and the knowledge suppose to heal
But the more you fuckin' know, less things feel real
Less things feel real, and the time shifts
And my mind shifts and ain't really anyone or anything I can really vibe with
Cause... I'm searchin', but I'm terrified
And by the time I find what I'm lookin' for, I'll be dead inside

[Outro: Angel Haze (Ellie Goulding)]
Cause part time love is the life round here
We're never done
(We're never done)

Mirror lyrics - Ellie Goulding

[from "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack]

Is this our world?

I look in the mirror
I can't get over you
Is this our world?
Is this someone else?
Is this someone else?

I look in the mirror
And I try to see myself
My head full of terror
From the games I played so well
I try to see clearer
I try to forget the fires I started
I try to be nearer
To where you are
To where you are

Are we star-crossed lovers?
Did I really want you gone?
If I'm really a winner
Where did these demons come from?

I was the girl who was on fire
I was the girl who was on fire
Only a bird could get much higher
(I look in the mirror)
'Cause I was the girl who was on fire

I look in the mirror
And I try to understand
And piece it together
Wash the blood from both my hands
I can't see the ending
There are people who know my every secret
I'm tired of pretending
You're in my heart
In my heart

Are we star-crossed lovers?
Did I really want you gone?
If I'm really a winner
Where did these demons come from?

I was the girl who was on fire
I was the girl who was on fire
Only a bird could get much higher
(I look in the mirror)
'Cause I was the girl who was on fire

Mosaic lyrics - Ellie Goulding

I am a mosaic
That was found at
The bottom of your garden
I'm just wondering but the cracks begin to show
Look closely and then you'll know
Then you'll know

I am a beauty that once was
Delicate intrigue, never something special
But never out of your league, I've
Battled with this twice now
He came to me said
"here's how"
Spoke a single line
While we dance in our scene
I'll just die in your arms
And my life is complete

I am a mosaic
That was found when you didn't know any better
I am broken now [x3]
And image that's scattered
Around and [x5] around
A million ways that I, I
Didn't have to hurt [x3]
Battled with this twice
And now he came to me, said
"here's how"
Spoke a single line
We danced in our scene
I'll just die in your arms and my life is complete

Cradled your legs
And took to your feet
You're the strongest love
I ever did meet
Spoke a single line
While we danced in our scene
I'll just die in your arms and my life is complete

Nobody's Crying lyrics - Ellie Goulding

He jumps in a taxi, hands for the sky
He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly
He's lookin' at me, that long last time
I'll turn away again and I wave goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"
Darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off those gates of hell
And I can tell how hard you're trying
And just have our secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
And nobody's crying

Well a couple of long nights turn into a couple of long years
Of me walkin' walkin' around, around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
It says that love is long gone
Every move I make is all wrong
Says you never gave a damn for me

For anything, for anyone

Darling, I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off those gates of hell
And I can tell how hard you're trying
And just have our secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
And nobody's crying

May you dream you are sleepin', in a warm soft bed
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
Turn the sound of thousands of angels instead
Tonight where you might be laying your head

I wish you well
On your way to the wishing well
Swinging off of those gates of hell
And I can tell how hard you're trying
And just have our secret hope
Sometimes all we do is cope
Somewhere on the steepest slope
There'll be an endless rope
And nobody's crying
And nobody's crying

Not Following You lyrics - Ellie Goulding

If I'm catching your eye
It was an accident
If I looked at you strange
Its not what I meant
I wanted to talk
You're occupied
I tried to explain but I'm tongue tied
I'll wait in the wings again
Until you find me out
What is the hold up

Ooo oo oo oo
I'm not following you
Ooo oo oo oo
Walking this way too
Ooo oo oo oo
I've had enough of dreaming
All my dreams are you

If I sat next to you
That wasn't my intent
And if my hand falls on yours
It was coincidence
I'll stay in the room until you're gone
I'll switch to the chair that you sat on
I'll sit there alone again
Until you find me out
What is the hold up

Ooo oo oo oo
I'm not following you
Ooo oo oo oo
Walking this way too
Ooo oo oo oo
See I've had enough of dreaming
All my dreams are you

I wish you would notice me
If not now, eventually
Then I wouldn't have to follow you around
And hunt you down
H-h-hunt you down
Hunt you down

Promise we'll get along
If you talk to me
We'll tell eachother our stories imperfectly
Imperfectly

I wanted to talk
You're occupied
I tried to explain but I'm tongue tied
I'll wait in the wings again
Until you find me out
See what is the hold up

Ooo oo oo oo
I'm not following you
Ooo oo oo oo
Walking this way too
Ooo oo oo oo
I've had enough of dreaming
All my dreams are you
