Florence and the Machine (Florence + The Machine) - Conductor lyrics

[Verse 1] I tried to control my shaking With just one sound I tried to warm the ocean By writing it down I tried to tame my nightmare Line by line If I write a song about you Does that make you mine? [Chorus] The conductor caught in slow motion The orchestra plays on Over and over; the same motion This work is never done [Verse 2] The only thing that's certain Is your indecision I guess it must be working Cause you hit me with such precision Now the strings are breaking Their fingers run with blood But they keep on playing The cycle never stops [Bridge] Who's in control? Who's playing who? [Verse 3] She wants to be amongst them Conducting them too She knows the song won't save her But what else can she do? She weeps just like a willow She's playing for you She's fragile and she's ferocious As the current flows through [Chorus] She's a conductor... [Verse 4] Now here comes the crescendo The music starts to swell And now it's so ecstatic I know this part so well And then it goes staccato The notes were flying up Higher and higher But they never reach the top [Bridge] x2 [Verse 5] I am the orchestra The conductor too My heart is a concert hall And I filled it with you
