White Lies - Embrace lyrics

[Verse 1: White Lies] When the daylight weighs a ton And all my friends are gone There's rust around The things I'd loved When it's fraying at the seams Of reality and dreams All those dreams Are quiet and dull [Pre-Chorus: White Lies] This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run [Chorus: White Lies] Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown Why didn't you just shout? I'm lonely, without looking for A place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know [Verse 2: White Lies] I'm your absent Valentine And the pigtails in the bride I'm the still that carves The toes in your bottle I'm the lynch mob in the dark I'm the silk worm in your heart Spinning out My perfect circles [Pre-Chorus] This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run [Chorus] Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown Why didn't you just shout? I'm lonely, without looking for A place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know [Bridge: White Lies] Calm on the water Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter Come, come undone Fetch your sister, fetch your son [Pre-Chorus + Bridge (simultaneous)] This town's alright (Big time breakdown) But it's not enough (Look how the stars come out) I'm looking for a quick exit (Big time breakdown) Like a prisoner on the run (Why didn't you just shout?) This town's alright (I'm lonely, without looking for) But it's not enough (A place to go) I'm looking for a quick exit (Where everything's an embrace) Like a prisoner on the run (And everybody wants to know) This town's alright (Big time breakdown) But it's not enough (Look how the stars come out) I'm looking for a quick exit (Big time breakdown) Like a prisoner on the run (Why didn't you just shout?) This town's alright (I'm lonely, without looking for) But it's not enough (A place to go) I'm looking for a quick exit (Where everything's an embrace) Like a prisoner on the run (And everybody wants to know) [Chorus] Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown Why didn't you just shout? I'm lonely, without looking for A place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know [Outro: White Lies] I'm lonely, without looking for A place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know
