Lights

Ellie Goulding · Now That's What I Call Music! [US] 43 [2012]

I had a way then, losing it all on my own

I had a heart then

But the queen has been overthrown



And I'm not sleeping now

The dark is too hard to beat, and I'm not keeping up

The strength I need to push me



You show the lights that stop me

Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone



'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home

Calling-Calling-Calling Home

You show the lights that stop me

Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone



Noises, I play within my head

Touch my own skin

And hope that I still breath in



And I think back to when

My brother and my sister slept

In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe



You show the lights that stop me

Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone



'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home

Calling-Calling-Calling Home

You show the lights that stop me

Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone



(lights-lights-lights-lights)

(lights-lights-lights-lights)

Home-Home-Home-Home



You show the lights that stop me

Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone



'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home

Calling-Calling-Calling Home

You show the lights that stop me

Turn to stone you shine it when I'm alone



Home-Home-Home-Home
