Nick Cooper - Various Storms & Saints lyrics

[Verse 1: Florence Welch] And the air was full Of various storms and saints Parading in the streets As the banks began to break And I'm in the throes of it Somewhere in the belly of the beast But you took your toll on me So I gave myself over willingly You got a hold on me And I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream I am teaching myself how to be free The monument of a memory You tear it down in your head Don't make the mountain your enemy Get out, get up there instead You saw the stars out in front of you Too tempting not to touch But even though it shocked you Something's electric in your blood [Pre-Chorus: Florence Welch] And people just untie themselves Uncurling lifelines If you could just forgive yourself [Chorus: Florence Welch] But still you stumble, feet give way Outside the world seems a violent place But you had to have him, and so you did Some things you let go in order to live While all around you, the buildings sway You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?" I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe Hold on to your heart, don't give it away [Verse 2: Florence Welch] You'll find a rooftop to sing from Or find a hallway to dance You don't need no edge to cling from Your heart is there, it's in your hands I know it seems like forever I know it seems like an age But one day this will be over I swear it's not so far away [Pre-Chorus: Florence Welch] And people just untie themselves Uncurling lifelines If you could just forgive yourself [Chorus: Florence Welch] But still you stumble, feet give way Outside the world seems a violent place But you had to have him, and so you did Some things you let go in order to live While all around you, the buildings sway You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?" I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe Hold on to your heart...
