Beating Heart

Ellie Goulding · Other Songs - Ellie Goulding

Eyes make their peace in difficulties

With wounded lips and salted cheeks

And finally we step to leave

To the departure lounge of disbelief



And I don't know where I'm going

But I know it's gonna be a long time

And I'll be leaving in the morning

Come the white wine bitter sunlight



Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

Before the bleeding sun comes alive

I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight

And hear my beating heart one last time

Before daylight



In the canyon underneath the trees

Behind the dark sky, you looked at me

I fell for you like autumn leaves

Never faded, evergreen



And I don't know where I'm going

But I know it's gonna be a long time

'Cause I'll be leaving in the morning

Come the white wine bitter sunlight



Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

Before the bleeding sun comes alive

I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight

And hear my beating heart one last time



I can't face this now everything has changed

I just wanna be by your side, here's hoping we collide

Here's hoping we collide

Here's hoping we collide



Wanna hear your beating heart tonight

Before the bleeding sun comes alive

I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight

And hear my beating heart one last time

Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
