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

(lights-lights-lights-lights)
Home-Home-Home-Home
