Asking For A Friend lyrics - Chvrches

I don't want to say that I'm afraid to die
I'm no good at goodbyes, I can't apologise
And if I don't stop now will it follow me down?
I guess I have to try, it's the art of getting by

'Cause I sunk some ships with selfish lips
And it all came back to me
I was terrified, I never told them why
And the songs I wrote 'bout hearts I broke
Would never come for free
I cheated and I lied but I meant it when I cried

So what do you say when you lose your way?
The past is in the past, it isn't meant to last
But if I can't let go, will you carry me home?
Can we celebrate the end? I'm asking for a friend

'Cause I filled my bed with my regrets
But it hasn't killed me yet
None of it mattered, none of it mattered
And the mess we made on Fridays
Gave me Sundays on my knees
But you still matter, you still matter

You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter

I don't want to say that I'm afraid to die
The past is in the past, t isn't meant to last
But if I can't let go, will you carry me home?
Can we celebrate the end? I'm asking for a friend

Home
Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go?

Home
Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go?

Home
Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go?

Home
Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go?

He Said She Said lyrics - Chvrches

He said, "You bore me to death"
"I know you heard me the first time" and
"Be sad, but don't be depressed"
Just think it over, over and
He said, "It's all in your head"
"But keep an ear to the grapevine" and
"Get drunk, but don't be a mess"
Keep thinkin' over, over
I try

But it's hard to hit rewind
When I feel like

I feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
Over and over, I try

Ooh, ooh, ooh

He said, "You need to be fed"
"But keep an eye on your waistline" and
"Look good, but don't be obsessed"
Keep thinkin' over, over
I try

But it's hard to know what's right
When I feel like I'm borrowin' all of my time
And it's hard to hit rewind
When I feel like

I feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
Over and over, I
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
(Feel like I'm losin' my mind)
Feel like I'm losin' my mind
Over and over
I try

California lyrics - Chvrches

Waste a month, waste a year
Waste the time you could've been here
Count the debt, count the tears
Count the truths and all of my fears
I didn't want to be cynical
Passing place for the soul
You were never predictable
Now I need to let it go

Found the song, played it back
Heard your voice under the feedback
Found a tape that was blank
Saw your face fading into black
I know love is delusional
And I hate when I'm wrong
Yours was never conditional
And now I need to get it gone

No one ever warns ya
You'll die in California
Falling in a dream, you let, let go
No one ever seems to say, say so
No one ever tells ya
There's freedom in the failure
Dying in a dream feels like home
No one ever seems to say, say so

Close my eyes, close my heart
Close the book I never meant to start
Say your name in the dark
No one said it would be this hard
I didn't go to the funeral
Heard you cry on the phone
Your voice was so beautiful
And now I need to let it go

No one ever warns ya
You'll die in California
Falling in a dream, you let, let go
No one ever seems to say, say so
No one ever tells ya
There's freedom in the failure
Dying in a dream feels like home
No one ever seems to say, say so

God bless this mess that we made ourselves
Pull me into the screen at the end and
God bless this mess that we made for ourselves
Pull me into the screen at the end

Pull me into the screen at the end
Pull me into the screen at the end
To the screen at the end

Violent Delights lyrics - Chvrches

Had a dream your father died
I couldn't scream
I couldn't cry
The second night, I dreamt you drowned
You couldn't fight
You were not found

These violent delights
Keep creeping into my nights
And they're reading my rites
And I'll never sleep alone again
And these violent delights
Keep bleeding into the light
And I'll never be right
But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone
When I'm gone

A photograph will steal your soul
An epitaph won't make you whole
If I disappear, they'll say I killed myself
I never feared for my own health

These violent delights
Keep creeping into my nights
And they're reading my rites
And I'll never sleep alone again
And these violent delights
Keep bleeding into the light
And I'll never be right
But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone
When I'm gone

I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
I don't want to sleep alone, no
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
Never sleep alone again, no
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
I don't want to sleep alone, no
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
Never sleep alone again when I'm gone

These violent delights
Keep creeping into my nights
And they're reading my rites
And I'll never sleep alone again
And these violent delights
Keep bleeding into the light
And I'll never be right
But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Alone again when I'm gone
When I'm gone

How Not To Drown lyrics - Chvrches (feat. Robert Smith)

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Told me to sing
That was the first time I knew
You can't kill the king
And those who kiss the ring

Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We will never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down

I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
That was the first time I knew
They were out for blood
And they would have your guts

Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We will never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down

Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now

Final Girl lyrics - Chvrches

Swallowing the seeds of sins we sewed into the ground
Keeping secrets until everything became a bit too loud
I could wash it down
I could drown it out
By filling up the silence with an organ sound
And by writing sentences I used to think were quite profound

And it feels like the weight is too much to carry
I should quit, maybe go get married
Only time will tell
And I wonder if I should've changed my accent
Tried to make myself more attractive
Only time will tell

In the final cut
In the final scene
There's a final girl
And you know that she should be screaming

Telling all the tales took time that I just do not have
Sifting further through the wreckage, I think you just have to laugh
Try to take it back
As it turns to black
Don't want to find your daughter in a body bag
So I need to get out now while most of me is still intact

And it feels like the weight is too much to carry
I should quit, maybe go get married
Only time will tell
And I wonder if I should've changed my accent
Tried to make myself more attractive
Only time will tell

In the final cut
In the final scene
There's a final girl
Does she look like me?
In the final cut
In the final scene
There's a final girl
And you know that she should be screaming now

Good Girls lyrics - Chvrches

Killing your idols is a chore
And it's such a fucking bore
'Cause I don't need them anymore
So
Maybe if you just got some guts
We'd kill 'em with a thousand cuts
And say we did it out of love

So save your breath
Give a little of what you have left
Do they know something I don't?

Is it easier when you don't have to count to ten?
When you don't have to pretend?
I want to know that feeling
Is it easier when you don't have to start again?
When you don't want to make amends?
I want to know that feeling

Good girls don't cry
And good girls don't lie
And good girls justify but I don't
Good girls don't die
And good girls stay alive
And good girls satisfy but I won't

They tell me I'm hellbent on revenge
I cut my teeth on weaker men
I won't apologize again
And
I never had a taste for liars
Or the uniquely uninspired
'Cause I don't need to be desired

Is it easier when you don't have to count to ten?
When you don't have to pretend?
I want to know that feeling
Is it easier when you don't have to start again
When you don't want to make amends?
I want to know that feeling

Good girls don't cry
And good girls don't lie
And good girls justify but I don't
Good girls don't die
And good girls stay alive
And good girls satisfy but I won't
No, I won't

Killing your idols is a chore
And it's such a fucking bore
But we don't need them anymore
We don't need them anymore

Lullabies lyrics - Chvrches

I've lost my appetite
Drinking the pesticide
Thinking that it's not a suicide if we act polite
Jesus Christ
I'm getting tired of the alibis
All the excuses and reasons why build inside my mind
No reply
I wish that I'd known ahead of time
And I wish I had been more kind
I wish, I...

Paralysed and spinning backwards
Lullabies don't comfort me
Televise the great disaster
We're better off inside of the screen
I'm terrified of falling faster
Lullabies don't comfort me
So televise the great disaster
We're better off inside of the screen sometimes

I'm lying on the floor
What are we waiting for?
I'm getting tired of trying so hard to be adored
Close the door
Wish I'd reached out to my mother more
Wish that I hadn't kept the score
I wish, I...

Paralysed and spinning backwards
Lullabies don't comfort me
Televise the great disaster
We're better off inside of the screen
I'm terrified of falling faster
Lullabies don't comfort me
So televise the great disaster
We're better off inside of the screen sometimes

Nightmares lyrics - Chvrches

I get the last word only because I write on the walls in my head
Maybe some things are better unsaid
To be left on the sheets of your bed

Can I forgive if I forget
All my mistakes and my regrets?
If all of this is for the best?

I've been singing that song again
Another ballad that won't make amends
It's been giving me nightmares again
And they don't end
I've been singing along again
Another poem designed for revenge
Now I'm living the nightmare again
And it won't end

Pity the actor canning the laughter
I know I waited too long
I played so dumb
I was under the thumb
A conclusion far too foregone

Can I forgive if I forget
All my mistakes and my regrets?
If all of this is for the best?

I've been singing that song again
Another ballad that won't make amends
It's been giving me nightmares again
And they don't end
I've been singing along again
Another poem designed for revenge
Now I'm living the nightmare again
And it won't end

For, for, forgiving
For, for, forgetting
For, for, forgiving
For, for, forgetting

It might have looked like love but it tasted a lot like blood
What is it like to be the apple of your own eye?
Always loved
Always seen
Always gratified
Always heard
Always safe
Always satisfied
An ugly song came from a Ballad For A Friend
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it never ends
I was no sweet dream but I was never a nightmare
I'm glad that we can all now stop pretending that you cared
I was no sweet dream but I was never a nightmare
I love it when you talk about it to people who weren't there
The arrogance and narcissism laid bare
I was no sweet dream but I was never a nightmare

I've been singing that song again
Another ballad that won't make amends
It's been giving me nightmares again
And they don't end
I've been singing along again
Another poem designed for revenge
Now I'm living the nightmare again
And it won't end

For, for, forgiving
For, for, forgetting
For, for, forgiving
For, for, forgetting
For, for, forgiving
For, for, forgetting
For, for, forgiving
For, for, forgetting

Better If You Don't lyrics - Chvrches

Drinking to the things I can't take back
Thinking of the friends and faith I lack
And no one broke my heart quite like that man
It's better if you don't care but if you do
I won't follow you again

TV's on but facing at the wall
Can they tell I don't like me at all?
I'm never as alone as I am back home
Pulling every thread
Seemed like a thing to do
Now I can't give it back
My favourite kind of blue
It's better if I don't dwell but if I do
I won't call on you again

Tinseltown was always in the rain
I've been gone and notice every change
And some of them are not our friends
And some of them are still our friends but dead
It's better if I don't think too much of you
I've been on my own
So I should see it through
I mumble when I speak
But I mean it when I do
I carry what I keep
I don't miss a lot of you
I drink and I think too much
I should quit one of the two
But I won't wish for luck
And I won't bother you
It's better if you don't care but if you do
I won't follow you again

Killer lyrics - Chvrches

I lost myself
My mental health
Yeah
On a broken carousel
Spun down to hell
How far we fell
Maybe just as well
The stones we throw
They told me so
Yeah
It was death by stereo
When they dealt the final blow
Nowhere to go

I turned into a killer
I'm insane
I'll cry you a river
Down the drain
Are you entertained?

No one to call
In my downfall
Yeah
In the valley of the dolls
I was climbing up the walls
No light at all

I turned into a killer
I'm insane
I'll cry you a river
Down the drain

I turned into a killer
Played the game
Don't look in the mirror
Fear no pain
Are you entertained?

I turned into a killer
I'm insane
I'll cry you a river
Down the drain
Are you entertained?

Screaming lyrics - Chvrches

Am I the deer?
Am I the headlights?
I know that I can't slow down
Everything fractures in the light
And I stand by watching it turn

And we used to laugh
At the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks
Took a photograph
Of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past

Silent screaming
At the ceiling
Wondering when I lost heart
And time's been stealing
All my dreams and
I no longer look the part

And we used to laugh
At the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks

Took a photograph
Of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past

Am I the butcher?
Am I the knife
If I don't know what all this is for?
I used to read myself to death
But I don't see the point anymore

Silent screaming
At the ceiling
Wondering when I lost heart
And time's been stealing
All my dreams and
I no longer look the part

And we used to laugh
At the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks
Took a photograph
Of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past
On the past

Am I the deer?
Am I the headlights?
I know that I can't slow down

Bitter End lyrics - Chvrches

At twenty-four
I fell into the trap door
Threw a man overboard
As I swam for the shore
At twenty-five
I noticed red in my skies
Made a bed for his lies
In the whites of my eyes

I was naïve
It got harder to breathe
Still I don't let them see
That there's blood on my knees
All that I want
Is to hear that one song
When the noise is all gone
I'll be singing along

Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

At twenty-nine
I didn't see all the signs
So I hung on the line
Till I lost my spine
I prayed to God
I could curb the black dog
Oh, the days were so long
With the oxygen gone

Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

Rapture
Rapture
Ever after
In the bitter end

Guess that I learned
From every bridge that I burned
That your love should be earned
And the world will still turn
All that I want
Is to hear that one song
When the noise is all gone
I'll be singing along

Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

Rapture
Rapture
Ever after
In the bitter end

Finding rapture
Rapture
Ever after
In the bitter end

Finding rapture
Ever after
Finding rapture
I need a rapture

Love Is Dead (2018)












Graffiti lyrics - Chvrches

I'm writing to ask you; did you achieve all you wanted to do?
Before we were dragged up, something was different and nothing was new
How did you see me?
We didn't know what we wanted to be
When did we move on?
I didn't feel it, nobody told me

Time to kill
Was always an illusion
Time stood still
And now we never will, never will

We wrote our names along the bathroom walls
Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls
I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will

Standing in streetlights, we didn't know wrong, didn't know right
Making a mess and running in circles, getting in fights
We were just kids then, we didn't know how and didn't know when
Taking our chances, calling it off and starting again

Time to kill
Was always an illusion
Time stood still
And now we never will, never will

We wrote our names along the bathroom walls
Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls
I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will

Never will
Never will

We wrote our names along the bathroom walls
Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls
I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will
And now we never will, never will

Get Out lyrics - Chvrches

Talked ourselves to death
Never saying what I wanted
Saying what I needed
I pushed you to the edge
Never knowing what I wanted
Knowing what I needed you to say

Reflections you used to see
Never look alike to me

Get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here
Can we get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here?

Good intentions never good enough
Can we get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here?

Going out my mind
Never getting what I wanted
Getting what I needed
I left myself behind
Never knowing what I wanted
Knowing what I needed you to do

Reflections you used to see
Never look alike to me

Get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here
Can we get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here?

Good intentions never good enough
Can we get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here?

So do you want to turn it around?
And do you want to show me how?
You are a kaleidoscope
You are a kaleidoscope
So do you want to turn it around?
And do you want to show me how?
You are a kaleidoscope
You are a kaleidoscope

Get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here
Can we get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here?

Good intentions never good enough
Can we get out, get out
Get, get, get out
Get, get, get out of here?

So do you want to turn it around?
And do you want to show me how?
You are a kaleidoscope
You are a kaleidoscope
So do you want to turn it around?
And do you want to show me how?
You are a kaleidoscope
You are a kaleidoscope
You are a kaleidoscope
You are a kaleidoscope

Deliverance lyrics - Chvrches

Careful when you're swimmin' in the holy water
Drowning in your own beliefs
Careful when you're standing at a broken altar
Asking if we feel relief
Careful when you're looking for a true confession
Mirror what you wanna see
Careful when you're tellin' us about obsessions
Sayin' that we're never free

You better hold on, hold on, hold on
You better hold on to what you love
You better give up, give up, give up
You better give up on givin' up

Is it deliver-iver-iverance
If you can never, never change?
Is it deliver-iver-iverance
If you hurt me in exchange?

Trust me when I tell you 'bout my own convictions
Made my mind up long ago
Trust me when I tell you it's a contradiction
Wishin' that I didn't know
Trust me that I struggle with all your destruction
Screamin' that I told you so
Trust me when I talk about the disillusion
Building up and letting go

You better hold on, hold on, hold
You better hold on to what you love
You better give up, give up, give up
You better give up on givin' up

Is it deliver-iver-iverance
If you can never, never change?
Is it deliver-iver-iverance
If you hurt me in exchange?

Look in my eyes when you say it, say it
Look in my eyes like you mean it, mean it
Look in my eyes when you say it, say it
Look in my eyes like you mean it

Is it deliver-iver-iverance
If you can never, never change?
Is it deliver-iver-iverance
If you hurt me in exchange?

Is it deliver-iver-iverance
Look in my eyes when you say it, say it
If you can never, never change
Look in my eyes like you mean it, mean it
Is it deliver-iver-iverance
Look in my eyes when you say it, say it
If you hurt me in exchange
Look in my eyes like you mean it, mean it, mean it

Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it

My Enemy lyrics - Chvrches (feat. Matt Berninger)

[Matt Berninger:]
I got no more time to hear what you think about me
Because all your words are so cold, so callous, so clean
In the moment you could be honest, you could wake up, up
But your jealousy is more blind than love

[Lauren Mayberry:]
And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up

[Matt Berninger:]
I got no more time to hear who you think we should blame
Because all your words are so vile, so vicious, so vain
In the end, we did all the damage that you could want, want
But the emptiness will go on and on

[Lauren Mayberry:]
And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up

[Matt Berninger & Lauren Mayberry:]
And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up

Forever lyrics - Chvrches

Savour the taste
Savour the pain
I don't expect you to release me
Jumping the gun
Holding my tongue
I'd never ask you to forgive me

And you will never see my side
And I will always think I'm right
But I always regret the night
I told you I would hate you 'til forever

Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
I told you I would hate you 'til forever
Forever, forever, forever (oh, oh)
Forever, forever, forever, forever (oh, oh)
Forever, forever, forever, forever
I told you I would hate you 'til forever

Playing the part
Playing the game
I don't expect you to believe me
Missing the mark
We tear it apart
I'd never ask you why you need me

And you will never see my side
And I will always think I'm right
But I always regret the night
I told you I would hate you 'til forever

Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
I told you I would hate you 'til forever
Forever, forever, forever (oh, oh)
Forever, forever, forever, forever (oh, oh)
Forever, forever, forever, forever
I told you I would hate you 'til forever

What else should I say?
What else could I do?
Maybe it's too much for you
What else should I say?
What else could I do?
Maybe I am just too much for you

Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
I told you I would hate you 'til forever
Forever, forever, forever (oh, oh)
Forever, forever, forever, forever (oh, oh)
Forever, forever, forever, forever
I told you I would hate you 'til forever

Never Say Die lyrics - Chvrches

Wasn't it gonna be fun and wasn't it gonna be new?
Wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?

Weren't you gonna be sorry and weren't you gonna be pure?
Weren't we gonna be honest and weren't we gonna be more?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?

All you want is to play at playing god
But I'm falling in, I'm falling out
All you need is to play at playing god
And I'm falling in, I'm falling out

Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever stop
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)

Weren't you trying forgiveness and weren't you trying to stay?
Weren't you trying to look up and weren't you trying to pray?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?

All you want is to play at playing god
But I'm falling in, I'm falling out
All you need is to play at playing god
And I'm falling in, I'm falling out

Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever stop
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)

(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)...

Miracle lyrics - Chvrches

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
Careful what you wish for
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
Saying that we wanted more
I feel like I'm falling, but I'm trying to fly
Where does all the good go?
We're looking for answers in the highest of highs
But will we ever, ever know?

And I need you to know I'm not asking for a miracle
But if love is enough, could you let it show?
If you feel it could you let me know?
(Oh, oh) If you feel it could you let me know?
(Oh, oh) I'm not asking for a miracle

Ask for forever when the end is in sight
Showing what you want to
We're looking for the light in an ocean of night
But will we ever see it through?

And I need you to know I'm not asking for a miracle
But if love is enough, could you let it show?
If you feel it could you let me know?
(Oh, oh) If you feel it could you let me know?
(Oh, oh) I'm not asking for a miracle

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
I'm not asking for a miracle
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
I'm not asking for a miracle (I'm not asking for a miracle)
(I'm not asking for a miracle)

I'm not asking for a miracle
If you feel it could you let me know?

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
I'm not asking for a miracle
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
I'm not asking for a miracle (I'm not asking for a miracle)
(I'm not asking for a miracle)

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
I'm not asking for a miracle
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
I'm not asking for a miracle (I'm not asking for a miracle)
(I'm not asking for a miracle)

Graves lyrics - Chvrches

Do you really believe that you can never be sure?
They're leaving bodies in stairwells
Washing up on the shore
Do you really expect us to care what you're waiting for?
When you're high in your castle, keeping an eye on the door
The door, the door

If I only see what I can see
I know it isn't there
And if only need what I can keep
I know it isn't fair

Oh, baby
You can look away
While they're dancing on our graves
But I will stop at nothing
Oh, I will stop at nothing
And you can look away
While they're dancing on our graves
But I will stop at nothing
No, I will stop at nothing now

Do you really believe that you are one of a kind?
If you don't have a heart I can offer you mine
Do you really expect that you will always be fine?
When you're high on your throne
And never toeing the line, the line, the line

If I only see what I can see
I know it isn't there
And if only need what I can keep
I know it isn't fair

Oh, baby
You can look away
While they're dancing on our graves
But I will stop at nothing
Oh, I will stop at nothing
And you can look away
While they're dancing on our graves
But I will stop at nothing
No, I will stop at nothing now

Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
From all that we've done
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
From all that we've done

Oh, baby
You can look away
While they're dancing on our graves
But I will stop at nothing
Oh, I will stop at nothing
And you can look away
While they're dancing on our graves
But I will stop at nothing
No, I will stop at nothing now

Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
From all that we've done
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
From all that we've done

Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
Lookin' away, you're lookin' away
From all that we've done

Heaven/Hell lyrics - Chvrches

Am I real if you can see right through me?
If I'm in a magazine
Do you believe it? Do you believe?
Do you believe it? Do you believe?
Am I real if I'm a broken record?
Selling you what you don't need
Do you believe it?
I don't

Do you ever wonder what we learned?
We can raise our glasses, dancing on the ashes as it burns
Have you reached the point of no return?
We can raise our glasses, dancing on the ashes as it burns

Is this heaven or is this hell?
Through a silver screen, you're sayin' what you mean
But I can't tell
Is this heaven or is this hell?
If none of this is real, then show me what you feel
'Cause I can't tell

Is it right if I'm a perfect actress?
Playin' the princess in distress
Is it enough, yeah? Is it enough?
Is it enough, yeah? Is it enough?
Is it alright if I save myself and if I clean up my own mess
Is it enough, yeah? Is it enough?
Is it enough, yeah?
'Cause I've had enough

Do you ever wonder what we learned?
We can raise our glasses, dancing on the ashes as it burns
Have you reached the point of no return?
We can raise our glasses, dancing on the ashes as it burns

Is this heaven or is this hell?
Through a silver screen, you're sayin' what you mean
But I can't tell
Is this heaven or is this hell?
If none of this is real, then show me what you feel
'Cause I can't tell

Is this heaven or is this hell?
Through a silver screen, you're sayin' what you mean
But I can't tell
Is this heaven or is this hell?
If none of this is real, then show me what you feel
'Cause I can't tell

God's Plan lyrics - Chvrches

You belong with me
I'm tracing a line
I'm tracing the lines of your hand
You collapse in threads
Show me inside
You're wasted in white, like dirt sand
You confide in me
Ashamed in the light
Shaped and defined by god's plan
You belong to me
You're crossing a line
You're cold and confined
You're no friend

I'll wait for a sign
I'm tracing the lines of your hand
Of your hand
Of your hand
What's yours can be mine
I'm tracing the lines of your hand
Of your hand
Of your hand

You belong with me
And tonight
At least we can die
In silence
Is it worth it now?
Tell me, is it worth it now?
Is it worth it now?

Really Gone lyrics - Chvrches

I can never tell what you want
Even with time, you'll never learn to move on
I'm trying my best to lift you up, to repair

But when I stop, you never seem to stay there
And I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'll wait until you're really gone
And try to find another way
But I can not stay

I can do no right for doing wrong
I'll swallow my pride, I only want to belong
I'm trying my best to toughen up, for these days

And maybe I'll find another time for this place
And I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'll wait until you're really gone
And try to find another way
But I can not stay
I'll try to find another way
But I can not stay

Wonderland lyrics - Chvrches

I am talkin' in my sleep
Hidin' inside my dreams
Fighting inside my head
Scarin' myself to death

We live in a wonderland
Like blood isn't on our hands
When will it be enough?
When will I say I

Knew we had to get away
Knew we had to get away
Knew we had to get away
From the storm

Can't live forever
With my head in the clouds
Can't predict the weather
With my feet on the ground
You tell me that we'll be alright
But I don't know if you're right
I can't live forever
With my head and my heart in the clouds

I am countin' every sheep
But these rabbit holes run deep
Tryin' to be so right
Desperate to start a fight

All of this pointless talk
Why can't I turn it off?
When will it all just stop?
When will I say I

Knew we had to get away
Knew we had to get away
Knew we had to get away
All along

Can't live forever
With my head in the clouds
Can't predict the weather
With my feet on the ground
You tell me that we'll be alright
But I don't know if you're right
I can't live forever
With my head and my heart in the clouds

Can't live forever
With my head in the clouds
Can't predict the weather
With my feet on the ground
You tell me that we'll be alright
But I don't know if you're right
I can't live forever
With my head and my heart in the clouds

Bury It (Remix) lyrics - Chvrches (feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)

[Lauren Mayberry:]
Cover up, cover up
Cover up that you're ruthless
Nobody, nobody
Nobody's ever gonna notice
And I am catching up
And I am seeing red
How about I prove I'm right
And raise it overhead?

I never promised you
Anything I couldn't do
We try to bury it and rise above
Bury it and rise above you, you
You never promised me
You would see it differently
Bury it and rise above
Bury it and rise above you, you

[Both:]
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above

[Hayley Williams:]
Reaching, reaching for
Reaching for my resistance
Nobody, nobody
Nobody sees it at a distance
And I am catching up
And I am seeing red
How about I throw my weight
And raise it overhead?

I never promised you
Anything I couldn't do
We try to bury it and rise above
Bury it and rise above you, you
You never promised me
You would see it differently
Bury it and rise above
Bury it and rise above you, you

[Both:]
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above

I never promised you
Anything I couldn't do
We try to bury it and rise above
Bury it and rise above you, you
You never promised me
You would see it differently
Bury it and rise above
Bury it and rise above you, you

We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above
We bury it, bury it, bury it
And rise above

Call It Off lyrics - Chvrches

(originally by Tegan and Sara)

I won't regret saying this
This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut?
That goes without saying

Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart

Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case, I'll go there everyday
To make myself feel bad
There's a chance I'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do

I won't be out long
But I still think it's better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best

Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart

Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case, I'll go there everyday
To make myself feel bad
There's a chance I'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do
I'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do

I'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do

Cry Little Sister lyrics - Chvrches

(from "Nightbooks" soundtrack)

Last fire will rise behind those eyes
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear

Cry, little sister (Thou shall not fall)
Come to your brother (Thou shall not die)
Unchain me, sister (Thou shall not fear)
Love is with your brother (Thou shall not kill)

Blue masquerade, strangers look on
When will they learn this loneliness?
Temptation heat beats like a drum
Deep in your veins, I will not lie

Cry, little sister (Thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (Thou shall not die)
Unchain me, sister (Thou shall not fear)
Love is with your brother (Thou shall not kill)

My Shangri-La, I can't forget
Why you were mine, I need you now

Cry, little sister (Thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (Thou shall not die)
Unchain me, sister (Thou shall not fear)
Love is with your brother (Thou shall not kill)

Cry, little sister (Thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (Thou shall not die)
Unchain me, sister (Thou shall not fear)
Love is with your brother (Thou shall not kill)

Death Stranding lyrics - Chvrches

(from "Death Stranding" soundtrack)

Let's make a toast to the damned
Waitin' for tomorrow
When we're played out by the band
Drowning out our sorrows
What will become of us now at the end of time?
We'll be fine, you and I
Let's draw a line in the sand
Keep it straight and narrow
We had it all in our hands
We begged and then we borrowed
What will become of us all at the end of love
When we've stopped looking up?

You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark

Let's tell the truth, just for once
Asking for an answer
Now that it's all said and done
Nothing really matters
What will become of us all if we dare to dream
At the end of the scene?

You can take my heart
Hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark

Let's open up to the sky
Ask it for closure
'Least we can say that we tried
But it's never really over
What will become of us all at the end of the line?
Will we live? Will we die?

You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
And you can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark

Do I Wanna Know? lyrics - Chvrches

(originally by Arctic Monkeys)

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like something in your teeth?
And some aces up your sleeve?
I've no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too
Busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp
Of trying
To kiss you
And I don't know
If you feel the same as I do
But we could be together
If you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see it go)
Ever thought of calling, darling?
(I'm thinkin' we both know)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

It's Not Right But It's Okay lyrics - Chvrches

(originally by Whitney Houston)

Friday night
You and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out
But you came home around three
Now if six of ya'll went out
Then four of you were really cheap
'cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your keys
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week, yes I am
The phone rings then you look at me
Why'd you turn and look at me?
You said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th street
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID?

I've been through all this before
Don't think about it, don't think about it
Get gone, get gone
Things are gonna change, baby
You don't stand a chance, boy
You don't stand a chance
Don't you turn around
There's no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that?
See, I'm moving on
And I refuse to turn back
See, all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for with me
It turns out
You were making a fool of me

It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you, leave your keys
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

Over lyrics - Chvrches

Sometimes I just drive
Till the night turns off my mind
I'm passing cars, and crowded bars
Never know until I go too far

Confusing faith and fear
Paint a smile from ear to ear
'Cause if I blink, I start to think
I feel nothing, I feel everything

I try my best to turn down the noise
And I tell myself that boys will be boys
It's getting harder to breathe
So baby, put me to sleep
Till it gets better

So wake me up when it's over
It's over
When it's over
Tell me it was all just a dream
And wake me up when it's over
It's over
When it's over
Tell me it was all just a dream
And I'll believe it

Keep me in the dark
Then fast forward to the part
With endless nights and neon lights
I'll be beautiful and starry-eyed

I try my best to turn down the noise
And I tell myself that boys will be boys
It's getting harder to breathe
So, baby, put me to sleep
Till it gets better

So wake me up when it's over
It's over
When it's over
Tell me it was all just a dream
And wake me up when it's over
It's over
When it's over
Tell me it was all just a dream
And I'll believe it

Sometimes I just drive
When I can't turn off my mind
I don't know where
I'll meet you there
Someday

So wake me up when it's over
It's over
When it's over
Tell me it was all just a dream
And wake me up when it's over
It's over
When it's over
Tell me it was all just a dream
And I'll believe it

Stay lyrics - Chvrches

(originally by Rihanna)

All along it was a fever
A cold-sweat hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
He said, "If you dare, come a little closer"

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay

Ooh, ooh ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, ooh ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving

Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Stay
I want you to stay
Ooh

Warning Call lyrics - Chvrches

I hear it
Echoing of every place that we've called our home
And I don't talk
Of any time I ever believed in the unknown
I need it
So I hold on to every mistake that I made alone
And I don't lie
When I say that we will never return to closing doors

Sleep tight in a new light
Through another warning call
Look down on the cold ground
No one try to break the fall

I feel it
Moving in an another direction we call our own
And I won't chase
Anyone who ever believed in what they stole
I need it
So I hold on to every piece of mine that I chose
And I don't lie
When I say that we will never return to closing doors

Sleep tight in a new light
Through another warning call
Look down on the cold ground
No one try to break the fall

Say you'll remember
To keep it all inside
You can run for the skyline
Your eyes open wide

Say you'll remember
To keep it all inside
You can run for the skyline
Your eyes open wide

(It's a memory)
Don't look away
(It's a memory)
Cause when we see it we are closer
Don't look away
Cause when we see it we are near

Say you'll remember
To keep it all inside
You can run for the skyline
Your eyes open wide

Say you'll remember
To keep it all inside
You can run for the skyline
Your eyes open wide

It's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory
It's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory
It's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory
It's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory, it's a memory

Up In Arms lyrics - Chrvrches

Everything you say
Can be heard through the white noise
And we can never stay up in arms
Everything you want
Will be held close to my heart
And we will never stay up in arms

I'm waiting for the landslide
To focus our eyes ahead
I'm keeping track and hoping
That you will follow instead
I'm waiting for the landslide
To focus our eyes ahead
I'm keeping track and hoping
That you will follow instead

Everything you love
Can be kept if it hits home
And we can never stay up in arms
Everything I learned
Will be held close to your heart
And we will never stay up in arms

I'm waiting for the landslide
To focus our eyes ahead
I'm keeping track and hoping
That you will follow instead
I'm waiting for the landslide
To focus our eyes ahead
I'm keeping track and hoping
That you will follow instead

Stay close
Keep hold
[x2]

I'm waiting for the landslide
To focus our eyes ahead
I'm keeping track and hoping
That you will follow instead
I'm waiting for the landslide
To focus our eyes ahead
I'm keeping track and hoping
That you will follow instead

Never Ending Circles lyrics - Chvrches

Throw me
No more bones and I will tell you no lies
This time
At least I am not so cold
You give me everything I never deserved
This time
You know I'll leave

Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

Cut off
I'll go my way if I'm going at all
This time
Believe that the strong red lines
That I will draw will come and cover you up
This time
You know I'll leave

Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

We are losing ground
It's time to save your neck
And I will try to find my feet and go
I am braced for words that never come
But I choose to decide that
I don't regret it
I don't regret it

Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

Keep You On My Side lyrics - Chvrches

Everyone sees, but only I know
Nothing to lose, nothing to save to make a whole
What if I should make a loss?
Hold up both my hands, my fingers crossed

I don't sleep well, laying low
Never keepin' up, never lettin' go
What if I should look away?
Every human touch will be repayed

Without restraint
Within our veins

We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our bones
I never asked to know, never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
I never asked to know, never lied
So I could keep you on my side

We feel the same
Without restraint
We feel the same
Within our veins

Everyone comes, but only I stay
Nowhere to look, nowhere to turn to fall away
What if I should call it off?
Hold up my demands with my heart uncrossed

I don't sleep well, laying low
Never keepin' up, never lettin' go
What if I should let it fade
Every human touch will be repayed

Without restraint
Within our veins

We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our bones
I never asked to know, never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
I never asked to know, never lied
So I could keep you on my side

We feel the same
Without restraint
We feel the same
Within our veins

We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)
Without restraint
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)
We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)
Within our veins
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)

We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our bones
I never asked to know, never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
I never asked to know, never lied
So I could keep you on my side

We feel the same
Without restraint
We feel the same
Within our veins

We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)
Without restraint
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)
We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we take)
Within our veins
(Payin' back all our chances, chances, chances, chances)
(Chances, chances, chances, chances, chances, chances, chances)

Make Them Gold lyrics - Chvrches

Can you tell me what to have and what to hold
If you never take the weight on your own
No one tells us what is hard and what is fair
And we will deliver once we know where to fall

We are made of our longest days
We are falling but not alone
We will take the best parts of ourselves
And make them gold

We are made of our smallest thoughts
We are breathing and letting go
We will take the best parts of ourselves
And make them gold

Can you steady all the hands that you hold
If you never look away from the drum
If you push yourself then I will pull you on
And we will deliver once we know where to fall

We are made of our longest days
We are falling but not alone
We will take the best parts of ourselves
And make them gold

We are made of our smallest thoughts
We are breathing and letting go
We will take the best parts of ourselves
And make them gold

I will wait to see if you come at all
To stop us falling out of phase
Let's see if we can keep track of losing days
You smile so wide I can see the signs
Just stop us falling out of phase
I will be with you in the fray
With those second thoughts you asked for
All you asked for

We are made of our longest days
We are falling but not alone
We will take the best parts of ourselves
And make them gold

We are made of our smallest thoughts
We are breathing and letting go
We will take the best parts of ourselves
And make them gold
And make them gold

High Enough To Carry You Over lyrics - Chvrches

No more barricades, slowly diffusing
I'll be leaving now, nobody's losing
If you could play a part, stay in resistance
Every fault would fade into the distance

Run if you like
All of the things that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over

And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
Then I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)

No more clarity, only confusion
Every focused thought, just an illusion
If I could see you now, if you would listen
Every fault would fade into the distance

Run if you like
All of the things that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over

And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
Then I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)

And you are
If I only hadn't given you up
If you only hadn't given me up
And you are
If I only hadn't given you up
Losin' my breath and leaving' the rest

Run if you like
All of the things that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over

And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
Then I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)

Then I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
Then I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up)

Empty Threat lyrics - Chvrches

Tore a line in the sun
Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove
Set my sights high enough
So I see the turning tides are parting for you

Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on

To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on

No more times second guessed
Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose
Hold my ground long enough
Till I see the turning tides are coming from you

Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on

To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side

If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
In the rising water, in the rising tide
They're spilling over me, filling my insides
If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
In the rising water, in the rising tide
We wait for the fall
(I gotta tell you)

Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I know that this is different

Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on

To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on

Down Side Of Me lyrics - Chvrches

Maybe I
Tell you that it's no big deal
Maybe I can aim this high
Or maybe I could eat my words

You're not same, not the same, you're not the same
Not the same, you're not the same, not the same
You're not same, not the same

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
And never do what I used to

Maybe you
Could tell 'em that you stayed the course
Maybe I could tear my view
Or maybe I should eat my words

You're not same, not the same, you're not the same
Not the same, you're not the same, not the same
You're not same, not the same

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
And never do what I used to
And never do what I used to

Keep you away from the down side of me
You can keep me a drip of the light that you see
I believe that you're all that you said you would be
If I keep you away from the down side of me
(Only if you could see)
You can keep me a drip of the light that you see
(Only if I could see)
I believe that you're all that you said you would be
(Only if you could see)

If I keep you away from the down side of me
(Only if I could see)
You can keep me a drip of the light that you see
(Only if I could see)
I believe that you're all that you said you would be
(Only if I could see)
[x3]

You would be
You would be
You would be

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
All I see

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
And never do what I used to
And never do what I used to

Playing Dead lyrics - Chvrches

No more excuses and no more playing dead
There are no silver linings in anything you said
If you keep on denying and I could stay away
We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it, we don't need it

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
And if I try to pretend that I don't see it
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

No more distractions and no more staying still
I am chasing the skyline much more than you ever will
You can keep to your story and I could stick to mine
We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it, we don't need it

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
And if I try to pretend that I don't see it
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

(Go-go-go-down-go-go...)
(Go-go-go-down-go-go...)
(Go-go-go-down-go-go...)
(Go-go-go-down-go-go...)

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?
I will take it all in one breath and hold it down
And if I try to pretend that I don't see it
You can tell me to move and I won't go
You can tell me to try and I won't go

Bury It lyrics - Chvrches

Cover up, cover up, cover up that you're ruthless
Nobody, nobody, nobody's ever gonna notice
And I am catchin' up and I am seein' red
How about I prove I'm right and raise it overhead?

I never promised you anything I couldn't do
We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above
You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently
Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above

You, you
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above

Reaching, reaching for, reaching for my resistance
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees it at a distance
And I am catchin' up and I am seein' red
How about I throw my way and raise it overhead?

I never promised you anything I couldn't do
We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above
You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently
Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above

You, you
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above

I never promised you anything I couldn't do
We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above
You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently
Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above

You, you
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above

Afterglow lyrics - Chvrches

All of the black and white
All of the contours
Are laid out before me now
To leave a trace

With all of the light and shape
We take up our own space
I'll find my own way back
Back to the past tense

A lifeline to highs and lows
To seeing the bright side
And I should know
We wait for the afterglow
To cover the blind side
And I should know

All of the empty thoughts
All of the outlines
Are laid out before us now
To leave a trace

All of your words and mine
They keep returning
I'll find my own way back
Back to the silence

A lifeline to highs and lows
To seeing the bright side
And I should know
We wait for the afterglow
To cover the blind side
And I should know

I've given up all I can
I've given up all I can
I've given up all I can
I've given up all I can

Follow You - Chvrches

Take your time watching over you
Waiting for a load I will take for you
Step by step I will shadow you
You can hold your own, I will only do

In your name I will cover you
Waiting for the blame I will take for you
All I need is to carry you
You can hold your own, I will hold it too

Only want what you know you need
I will come to you and know what you're asking for
You want what you know you need
I begin to see
I will come to you and follow you through the dark

Changing mind, like you always do
Waiting for the blow I will take for you
Blinding lights washing over you
You can hold your own and I will hold it too

Only want what you know you need
I begin to see
I will come to you and know what you're asking for
You want what you know you need
I begin to see
I will come to you and follow you through the dark

You want what you know you need
I begin to see
I will come to you and know what you're asking for
You want what you know you need
I begin to see
I will come to you and follow you through the dark

See the dark
See the dark
See the dark
See the dark
See the dark

Bow Down lyrics - Chvrches

Hoping for the pin to drop
Cause I can't hold it all
Trying to correct the wrongs
Say when, say when
Better luck now that you're on your own
So don't just lie there
Hoping for the pin to drop
Say when, say when

Keep counting all the fresh starts we've had
I'll raise another white flag so that
We keep counting all the fresh starts we've had
I'll fly another white flag over us

No time to bow down, no time to kill
No justifying, staying down in silence
No time to bow down, no time to kill
We stay between the white lines
[x2]

Hoping for a stroke of luck
But one you're counting on
Trying to deflect a wave
Say when, say when
What do you have and what do you want
Are you still stuck here
Hoping for a stroke of luck?
Say when, say when

Keep counting all the fresh starts we've had
I'll raise another white flag so that
We keep counting all the fresh starts we've had
I'll fly another white flag over us

No time to bow down, no time to kill
No justifying, staying down in silence
No time to bow down, no time to kill
We stay between the white lines
[x2]

Changing focus
Stay in silence
Changing focus
Stay in silence
(Changing focus)
No time to bow down, no time to kill
(Stay in silence)
No justifying, staying down in silence
(Changing focus)
No time to bow down, no time to kill
(Stay in silence)
We stay between the white lines

No time to bow down, no time to kill
No justifying, staying down in silence
No time to bow down, no time to kill
We stay between the white lines
[x2]

The white lines
Between the white lines
White lines

"Every Open Eye" (2015)





Never Ending Circles lyrics - Chvrches

Throw me
No more bones and I will tell you no lies
This time
At least I am not so cold
You give me everything I never deserved
This time
You know I'll leave

Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

Cut off
I'll go my way if I'm going at all
This time
Believe that the strong red lines
That I will draw will come and cover you up
This time
You know I'll leave

Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

We are losing ground
It's time to save your neck
And I will try to find my feet and go
I am braced for words that never come
But I choose to decide that
I don't regret it
I don't regret it

Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
