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

Out Of My Head lyrics - Chvrches (feat. Wednesday Campanella)

[KOM_I:]
ロンドンモード王道も
清志郎もデヴィッド・ボウイも
とうにとうにいなくなって
キャプチャーコースで違って
悪かないね

[Lauren Mayberry:]
And when you figure it out
You let me know
And when you figure it out
You let me know

I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head

[KOM_I:]
川崎もグラスゴーも悪かないね
帰りたくなる
やっぱりまだ帰りたくない
テレビがつきっぱなしの
悪かないね
家の端っこ おいで

[Lauren Mayberry:]
And when you figure it out
You let me know
And when you figure it out
You let me know

I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head

And when you figure it out
You let me know
And when you figure it out
You let me know

I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my, out of my head
I need out of my, out of my head

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

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

Leave A Trace lyrics - Chvrches

I gave up on time
Just like you said you would
There are tiny cracks of light underneath me
And you say I got it wrong
But I tried hard to uncover them

I have somehow got
Away with everything
Anything you ever did was strictly by design
But you got it wrong
And I'll go anywhere but there

And you had best believe
That you cannot build what I don't need
And I know I need to feel relief
And I know you'll never fold
But I believe nothing that I'm told
And I know I need to feel relief

I know I need to feel released
Take care to tell it just as it was
Take care to tell on me for the cause
I know I need to feel released
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man

I will show restraint
Just like we said we should
You think I'll apologize for things I left behind
But you got it wrong
And I'm as sane as I ever was

You talk far too much
For someone so unkind
I will wipe the salt off of my skin
And I'll admit that I got it wrong
And there is grey between the lines

And you had best believe
That you cannot build what I don't need
And I know I need to feel relief
And I know you'll never fold
But I believe nothing that I'm told
And I know I need to feel relief

I know I need to feel released
Take care to tell it just as it was
Take care to tell on me for the cause
I know I need to feel released
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know

I know I need to feel released
Take care to tell it just as it was
Take care to tell on me for the cause
I know I need to feel released
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know

Clearest Blue lyrics - Chvrches

Light, it's all over us
Like it always was
Like it always was

Shape by the clearest blue
But it's not enough
It's not enough, not enough

Just another time we're caught inside
Every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides
Never quite learning why
You'll meet me, you'll meet me
You'll meet me halfway

Whenever I feel it coming on
You can be well aware
If ever I try to push you away
You can just keep me there
So please say you'll meet me
Meet me halfway

Tied to the shifting ground
Like I always was
Like I always was

You, were the perfect star
But it's not enough, it's not enough
Not enough, not enough

Just another time that I go down
But you were keeping up
Holding to a hope you undermined
Never to be reversed

Just another time we're caught inside
Every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides
Never quite learning why

Whenever I feel it coming on
You can be well aware
If ever I try to push you away
You can just keep me tell me

Tell me tell me, you'll meet me
Tell me tell me, you'll keep me
Tell me tell me, you'll meet me
Will you meet me more than halfway

Shape by the clearest blue
Shape by the clearest blue

Get Away lyrics - Chvrches

I can only see you when I close my eyes.
There's nothing left of you here.
We had the time, we had the time.

The things that I remember I do not regret.
They don't mean a thing here.
We had the time, we had the time.

I'll be your guide
So you can see the other side
Then I will never let you get away
Never let you get away

I'll hold you hands so you can see
Crossing your heart and hoping
To never let you get away,
Never let you get away.

Everything you prayed for is not overhead
No one else will save you
Wake up your mind,
Wake up your mind.

Trust me when I tell you
We are on our own.
Overlap your fingers
And run through the pines.
We'll run through the pines.

I'll be your guide
So you can see the other side
Then I will never let you get away
Never let you get away

I'll hold you hands so you can see
Crossing your heart and hoping
To never let you get away,
Never let you get away.

I'll be your guide
So you can see the other side
Then I will never let you get away
Never let you get away

I'll hold you hands so you can see
Crossing your heart and hoping
To never let you get away,
Never let you get away.

Never let you get away [x4]

"The Bones Of What You Believe" (2013)




The Mother We Share lyrics - Chvrches

Never took your side, never cursed your name
I keep my lips shut tight, until you go-o-oh
We've come as far as we're ever gonna get
Until you realize, that you should go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

In the dead of night, I'm the only one here
And I will cover you, until you go-o-oh
'Cause if I told the truth, I will always be free
And keep a prize with me, until you go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

Into the night for once, we're the only ones left
I bet you even know, where we could go-o-oh
And when it all fucks up, you put your head in my hands
It's a souvenir for when you go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

We Sink lyrics - Chvrches

We are
I've come apart and you made me
Float like
A pretty box of your evil
So tired
So easy I

Bleed out
What the fuck were you thinking
We are
Gonna fall if you lead us
Nowhere
No wasted time

[Chorus x2:]
I'll be a thorn in your side
Till you die
I'll be a thorn in your side
For always
We sink
We lift our love

We are
Let me stop for a second
Held heart
Only beats in the evening
Low tide
Watching for flight

I tell you
To cut it out but you made me
You know why
The slowest spark is a breather
How high
How will you decide

[Chorus]

So low
You keep stalling
Could you not see why

Say, say, say

Love was

Say, say, say

That you see cry

A simple call seems right
And I know why

[Chorus]

Get up after you
Get up after you

Gun lyrics - Chvrches

You had better run from me
With everything you own
Cause I am gonna come for you
With all that I have

I am gonna break you down
To tiny, tiny parts
I never believed, but I see it now
I'm learning your lesson, I’m learning your lesson

Did it make you feel so clever
Did you wear it on your sleeve
Did you see another picture
Where I was not a part so far entwined

There's no other way
Never run far
Take a good swing at me
And everything is even
So finally, we agree
No place for promises here
You better run, you better run so
Hide, hide, I have burned your bridges
I will be a gun
And it's you I'll come for
I, I, have never felt so easy
I will be a gun, and it's you I'll come for

Who are you to tell me how
To keep myself afloat
I tread the water all the while
You stuck in the knife
That you held at my back

Did it make you feel so clever
Did you wear it on your sleeve
Did you see another lifetime
Where I was not a part so far entwined

There's no other way
Never run far
Take a good swing at me
And everything is even
So finally, we agree
No place for promises here
You better run, you better run so
Hide, hide I have burned your bridges
Now I'll be a gun
And it's you I’ll come for
Hide hide never felt so easy
I will be a gun
And it's you I'll come for

There is no other way
Never run far
Take a good swing at me
And everything is even
So finally, we agree
No place for promises here
You better run, you better run so
Hide, hide I, have burned your bridges
I will be a gun
And it's you I’ll come for
Hide, hide have never felt so easy
I will be a gun
And it’s you I'll come for
And it’s you I'll come for
And it’s you I'll come for
And it’s you I'll come for
And it’s you I'll come for
And I’m gonna see that you won't go far
And I’m gonna see that you won't go far
And I’m gonna see that you won't go far
And I’m gonna see that you won't go far

Tether lyrics - Chvrches

[Verse 1:]
Where'd you go, you were there by my side
Keep believing it's my turn to hide
In a place where we don't have a prayer
There's a tether that's keeping me there

[Chorus:]
Trade our places
Take no chances
Bind me 'til my lips are silent

Stay where you are
Ever, after
Chasing things that we should run from

[Verse 2:]
Will we ever get away from this place
It's an image that's burned on my chest
For a moment you need me to stay
Cold blooded and drifting away

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm feeling capable of
Seeing the end

I'm feeling capable of
Saying it's over
[x7]

Lies lyrics - Chvrches

Faster, faster, you won't go far
Shouldn't leave, feeling faith, we both know why
You got to show me, both knees, cold I lie
Hold me slowly, hide me till I can fly
Always we can sing, we can make time
Old songs, flood and flame, you could be mine
But you got to show me, both knees, skin and bone
Clothe me, throw me, move me - till

[Chorus:]
I can sell you lies
You can't get enough
Make a true believer of
Anyone anyone anyone
I can call you up if I feel alone
I can feed your dirty mind
Like I know I know what you are

Icon of symmetry, swallowing sides
Fall down in front of me, follow my eyes
But I've got to see you moving, waste no time
Teach me, make me holy - till

[Chorus:]
I can sell you lies
You can't get enough
Make a true believer of
Anyone anyone anyone
I can call you up if I feel alone
I can feed your dirty mind
Like I know like, like I know, what you want

Anyone anyone anyone
Anyone anyone anyone
Like I know, like I know, what you want
Like I know, like I know, what you want

I can sell you lies
You can't get enough
Make a true believer of
Anyone anyone anyone
I can call you up if I feel alone
I can feed your dirty mind
Like I know, like I know, what you want

Under The Tide lyrics - Chvrches

[Verse 1:]
I'm watching you run
Run from the sidelines

Take in a breath
Fill in your lungs
Keeping you alive

No fear
I'll your eyes
I'll be a lifeline

And if I can be
I'll be your strength
And it won't be long now

[Chorus:]
Head up, head up
Keep holding, holding
Your head up, head up
Keep holding, holding

[Verse 2:]
If you can see
And you believe
Why are you so scared

But if you don't care
Then why are we here
And what do you have left

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Don't you take another step
Away from here
I would go anywhere with you
What a lie

I'll break down
But you will never see
Tell me, are you happy?
Are you really happy?

Stay under the tide
Stay in my eyeline
Looking ahead, there is a chance
Wherever it all ends

[Chorus:]
Head up, head up
And stay strong
Holding your head up, head up
Keep holding, holding

Night Sky lyrics - Chvrches

[Verse 1:]
I will carry you and give you life
I will cover you and show you the way
It's a sequence that you never learned
It's a lesson I will never forget

I can hear you in the overtones
Just an echo of the promise we made
Change the future, we can travel time
Or make us blind so we can never look back

We can never look back

[Hook:]
I'm the night-sky
I'm the fire in your eyes
And I want you
Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart
I'm the secret that you hide
I'll be listening until you decide

[Verse 2:]
I communicate in simple strings (take your time)
I'm the only one who gave you the truth (speak to me)
Once you leave me you were really gone (far and near)
Give me something to remember you by (always be)
All that's here is what you left behind (majesty)
Slowly moving in the back of my mind (can't forget)
Take a moment to remember me (and our ways)
Make me blind so I don't ever look back

Only in your name
I will ne'er be free

[Hook x2]

Science / Vision lyrics - Chvrches

Breathe
Don't speak
It's leaving your body now
Slow heart
Set free
A circuit of consciousness
When you are truly yourself
You will
Succumb to a permanence
A light by day
A shadow resides by night

I (I) hear (hear) your (your) breathing

I (I) feel (feel) you (you) leaving

With understanding
You won't let it cast you down
A mind full of questions
A current to purify
Science and vision
Be near when I call your name
Or ask me a question

I (I) hear (hear) your (your) breathing

Breathe
Don't speak
It's leaving your body now

I (I) feel (feel) you (you) leaving

Heart set free
A circuit of consciousness

I (I) hear (hear) your (your) breathing

Light by day
A shadow resides by night

I (I) feel (feel) you (you) leaving

With understanding
You won't let it cast you down
A mind full of questions
A current to purify
Science and vision
Be near when I call your name
A mind full of questions
A current to purify
Science then vision
Be near when I call your name
Or ask me a question

Lungs lyrics - Chvrches

How long till you leave it?
You should know that we're alone this time
Keep yourself a secret, you should know that
I will sell you a future you don't want
Like I did last time
I won't go slow
All the things you tell yourself
Offer no resolution

You know that this will break us
But you push as far as we can go
Taking every chance to find solutions
That never make anyone happy
We are done this time
You don't owe me
Take a final look at me
Take it, and drink it in

Breathe through me
Fill up your lungs with us
I will keep everything
You give me
Till the time
We let go

Breathe through me
Fill up your lungs with us
I will keep everything
You give me
Till the time
We let go

Keep me in your eyeline
Keep believing what you said before
I will change direction
I will tell you that everything's moving too slowly
Just another lie, one more untruth
You won't ever see through me
You will still drink it in

Breathe through me
Fill up your lungs with us
I will keep everything
You give me
Till the time
We let go

You know that this will break us
But you push as far as we can go
Taking every chance to find solutions
That never make anyone happy
We are done this time
You don't owe me
Take a final look at me
Take it

By The Throat lyrics - Chvrches

Bad blood and no holds barred
A warning shot, a sacrifice that we made

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

Waste of time or waste of fear?
Do it again, again until you unfocus them away

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

[Chorus:]
All that's golden is never real
And I won't play fair with you this time
All that's golden is never sold
And I'll be thankful when you let go

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

With teeth we've come this far
I'll take this thing by the throat and walk away

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

Remember me as I will you
Honesty will wreck this point that we made

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

[Chorus]

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

Taking over parts of mine
That I will pay for every time

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x2]

If I could catch you and cut your ties
I would leave you, every time

[Chorus]

You know, you know, you know, you know that you go to far [x4]

You Caught The Light lyrics - Chvrches

[Verse 1:]
I hear you when you call
There's a sign for her and everyone
And go on, but not with me
And let it all fall down
Let it all fall down

[Chorus:]
Sky is light
You caught the light
You carried mine
You caught the light

[Verse 2:]
They said that you would call
And take it all, it's history
And we're laughing until the end
Let the rain come down
Let it all come down

[Chorus x2:]
Sky is light
You caught the light
You carried mine
You caught the light

Strong Hand lyrics - Chvrches

Why don't you tell me what do you need
There is a blank page for you
Give me the bones of what you believe
Maybe they'll save you from me

Will I be the strong hand keeping you safe
or will I break you in half
and you will never be under my thumb
but you were not your own land

See the way we all run
When we know it off by heart
Played down, waiting all out
When we win or lose it this time

When the pressure's building for a great white hope
do you give up the things that you love
and the pressure's building till it takes you whole
can you go back on your own word

All of your brothers, they never died
For what you kill for slowly
How it will grind you into the ground
If you should try to hold me

See the way we all run
When we know it off by heart
Played down, waiting all out
When we win or lose it this time

When the pressure's building for a great white hope
do you give up the things that you love
and the pressure's building till it takes you whole
can you go back on your own word

When the pressure's building for a great white hope
do you give up the things that you love
and the pressure's building till it takes you whole
can you go back on your own word

Broken Bones lyrics - Chvrches

Catch them and kill them
You're only hope is evil
I will not die, I will keep quiet
I will hold you high above

You're on your own
Wait till dawn and then go

No help here from heaven
You're not as real as I am
I will wake up the dark eyes
Until your blood is out

You're on your own
I'm lying in here
Inside your sleep
Keep yourself
Awake for this
Wait till dawn and then go

Our love will never die
Broken bones and promises
Your weakness is clear now
I see your kind eyes

You're on your own
Wait till dawn and then go

You are another one
Buried here by no one
I will keep you inside with your soul alive
You're on your own
Keep your head beneath your hands
Play your part
All on your own
Closed and bruised
You're on your own

EP: "Recover EP" (2013)




Recover lyrics - Chrvches

Carved earth, cold
Hiding from you in this skin, so old
I'll come clean
Everywhere everyone knows it's me

And if I recover
Will you be my comfort
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me

Blow by blow
Honest in every way I know
You appear
To face a decision I know you fear

And if I recover
Will you be my comfort
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me

And you know you don't need me

And if I recover
Will you be my comfort
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me

I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me

ZVVL lyrics - Chvrches

[Verse 1:]
So, I think it's time
To face yourself again
It's not too late
There's always time
To steal yourself
What are you looking for
We both are free
In the here and now
So take my hand
And don't fear what you find
On your own
Open up, give it up

[Chorus:]
Your life will be brighter
Your days will be longer
But come on, you feel it
Of flesh and blood, give it up, go
It's only illusion
A miracle darling
Give it to the knowing
Of flesh and blood, give it up, go

[Verse 2:]
Truth, it's just as real
As your dream at night
So far away
It's all around
Forget yourself
Cast a sacred grain
We start today
Open up, give it up, go

[Chorus:]
Your life will be brighter
Your days will be longer
But come on, you feel it
Of flesh and blood, give it up, go
It's only illusion
A miracle darling
Give it to the knowing
Of flesh and blood, give it up, go

Your life will be brighter
Your days will be longer
But come on, you feel it
Of flesh and blood, give it up, go

It's only illusion
A miracle darling
Give it to the knowing
Of flesh and blood, give it up, go

Now Is Not The Time lyrics - Chvrches

Vicious one how ever did you find me?
Time is wasted, words are cheap
Now it seems that we are not crazy
And lovers sow what lovers reap

Nothing now can ever come between us
As we hide and watch the city burn
There is much that I still want to tell you
But now is not the time to speak of love

Beckoning to me
More than memory
Words are useless here
Until you are near

Live in fear I cannot be your savior
There is no violence in your heart
Warriors are both time and patience
But you and I are worlds apart

We all, we all, we all saw the light
We are, we are, we are first and right

Nothing now can ever come between us
As we hide and watch the city burn
There is much that I still want to tell you
But now is not the time to speak of love

Beckoning to me
More than memory
Words are useless here
Until you are near
[x2]

Dead Air lyrics - Chvrches

[from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" soundtrack]

I will never believe what they say
There is no strength in enduring
They never speak for themselves
We are disappearing

You will be all that I seek
In a twisted lie
I would live inside you
Words will be all that I keep
In an open space
They would live inside you

We hold on to an idea and we’ll fight what we can`t see.
We just hold on to an idea we’ll keep going till we can heal.
We’ll keep going til we can’t hear
Dead air

We are, we are
We are all just dead air

This is a call to your arms
To take on mind over matter
Replacing fist over fist
We are disappearing

You will be all that I seek
In a twisted lie
I would live inside you
Words will be all that I keep
In an open space
They would live inside you

We hold on to an idea and we’ll fight what we can`t see.
We just hold on to an idea we’ll keep going till we can heal.
We’ll keep going til we can’t hear
Dead air

We are, we are
We are all just dead air
