Every Time You Go

Ellie Goulding · Bright Lights [2010]

It starts with a picture,

and it sits in your frame.

And we part with a letter,

and it ends in my name.

And it starts with forever,

and it ends with a touch.

And I know that you're clever,

and I don't ask for much.



Oh oh oh oh,

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



oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh



You said I'm arresting,

You said I had heat.

I really thought that we'd go further

The second time we meet.

'Cos I'm tired of trying to keep you.

All I want to do is sleep.

Then perhaps, when I'm sleeping,

You'll get back on your feet.



Maybe we forgot, all the things we are,

when we are together.



Wake me up, wake me up...

stop my fall (every time you go)

Tape me up, then break me up,

Ever so gently.

When I'm at my weakest,

It's not so hard, every time you go.



Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.



I run out to meet you

when I knew the storm had come

I felt the rain on your face and the damage you have done

I know what you're thinking "it will never be the end"

and when the storm is over

you won't see me again (oh oh oh oh oh)

Did none of your thoughts have blame?

After all the times I saved

We were together



Wake me up, wake me up...

stop my fall (every time you go)

Tape me up, then break me up,

Ever so gently.

When I'm at my weakest,

It's not so hard.



Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?

Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?

Oh..

Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?

Oh..

Maybe we forgot.



Wake me up, wake me up...

I'll stop my fall (every time you go)

Tape me up, then break me up,

Ever so gently. When I'm at my weakest

Wake me up, Wake me up

Stop my fall (every time you go)

Tape me up then break me up

ever so gently Then it's not so hard,

Every time you go.
