Florence And The Machine - Heartlines

Oh the river, oh the river,

It's running free.

And oh the joy, oh the joy

It brings to me.

But I know it'll have to drown me,

Before it can breathe easy.

And I've seen it in the flights of birds,

I've seen it in you.

The entrails of the animals,

The blood running through.

But in order to get to the heart,

I think sometimes you'll have to cut through.

But you can't…

We will carry…

You can't…

We will carry you there…

You can't…

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Keep it up!

I know you can!

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Cause I am…

Odyssey on odyssey

And land over land.

Creeping and crawling

Like the sea over sand.

Still I follow heartlines on your hand.

This fantasy, this fallacy,

This tumbling stone

Echoes of a city

That's long overgrown.

Your heart is the only place that I call home,

I cannot be returned.

You can…

(Keep it up)

You can…

You can…

I know you can…

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Keep it up!

I know you can!

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

What a thing to do…

What a thing to choose…

But know, in some way I'm there with you.

Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon.

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

Keep it up!

I know you can!

Just keep following

The heartlines on your hand!

'Cause I am.

Florence And The Machine - No Light, No Light

You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said

You are the night time fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over you're the start
You're my head, you're my heart

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say

Through the crowd, I was crying out
And in your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right

You want a revelation,
You wanna get it right
But it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say

Would you leave me,
If I told you what I've done?
And would you need me,
If I told you what I've become?
'Cause it's so easy,
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love,
To say it to you out loud

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say

You want a revelation,
You wanna get it right
But it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation

You want a revelation,
You wanna get it right
But it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation, some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say.

Florence And The Machine - All This and Heaven Too

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks and turns and courts sighs and present proclamations
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures
And short shallow gasps

But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all skipping and coming back all damaged
And I will put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

And it talks to me in tiptoes
And sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night and breaks in morning light

But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all skipping and coming back all damaged
And I will put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see
‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all

No, words are a language that doesn’t deserve such treatment
That all of my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling

All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I’m here

Words were never so useful ‘til I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before

Florence And The Machine - Shake it Out

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
Given half the chance would I take any of it back?
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found a devil in me
Looking for heaven, found a devil in me
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

What the hell
