Lyrics Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding

Run into the Light Medley

Who are we to be emotional?

Who are we to play with hearts?

And throw away it all

Who are we to turn each others heads?

Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?

I don't like the way I never listen to myself

I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy to cry for help

I don't think you know me much at all

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

I'm feeling down about this love

Who are you to make me feel so good?

Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?

Oh who am I to say I'm always yours

Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores

I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart

Now we're falling on each other like we're always in the dark

I don't think you warned me much at all

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

This love is not what you want

This heart will never be yours

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

This love is be and end all

This love will be your downfall

You're so quiet

But it doesn't faze me

You're on time

You move so fast

Makes me feel lazy

And let's join forces

We've got our guns and horses

I know you've been burnt

But every fire is a lesson learnt

I left my house

Left my clothes

Door wide open

Heaven knows

You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you

I wish I could be it all for you

If I could erase the pain

And maybe you'd feel the same

I'd do it all for you

I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

Let’s tie words

'Cause they amount to nothing

Play it down

Pretend you can't take what you've found

But you found me

On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house

Left my clothes

Door wide open

Heaven knows

You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you

I wish I could be it all for you

If I could erase the pain

And maybe you'd feel the same

I'd do it all for you

I would, I would, I would, I would

It's time to come clean and make sense of everything

It's time that we found out who we are

'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark

I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you

I wish I could be it all for you

If I could erase the pain

And maybe you'd feel the same

I'd do it all for you

I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I'd do it all for you, I would

I'd do it all for you, I would

I'd do it all for you, I would

I'd do it all for you, I would

I'd do it all for you

I had a way then

Losing it all on my own

I had a heart then

But the queen has been overthrown

And I'm not sleeping now

The dark is too hard to beat

And I'm not keeping up

The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I'm alone

Noises, I play within my head

Touch my own skin

And hope they'll still be there

And I think back to when

My brother and my sister slept

In another place

The only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I'm alone

Lights, lights (x14)

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine them when I'm alone

Home, home

(Lights, lights, lights)...

You're as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove

That is no way to live that is no way to love

Full of fear in your skin and the weakness in giving in

Stabbed in the back but you feel no pain

Push the heaviest doors that you can't open

Yeah they tied me up and my body lies still, again

You're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon

I don't know when you'll break but it's gonna be soon

If my will caves in, I'll be in the same boat as you

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they

created just to understand...

"the meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open

Find the perfect words that I've not spoken

And I won't tell the truth unless you want me to

For all of the times that I lost my head

When it rolled to the floor and I found it again

But when it came back,

I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they

created just to understand...

"the meaning of"

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they

created just to understand...

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they

created just to understand...

"the meaning of"

Oh, oh, starry eyed

Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars

That I let go, let go

For anyone

Take me in

And I'll throw out my heart

And get a new one

Next thing, we're touching

You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

So we burst

Into colours

Colours

And carousels

Fall head first

Like paper planes and playground games

Next thing, we're touching

You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

(We come and we go)

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

(But we're not in love)

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

(We come and we go)

(But we're not in love)

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

Hit me with lightning

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys(x2)

You left your blood stain on the floor

You set your sights on him

You left a hand print on the door,

Like all the boys before, like all the boys before (boys boys boys boys)

This is our luck, baby, running out

Her clothes were never off

We still have hours to run about

To scale the map, scale the map, to get us back on track

I've seen you in a fight you lost, I’ve seen you in a fii-ii-ii-ii-ght

(Chorus)

Were under the sheets and you're killing me

In our house made of paper, your words all over me

Were under the sheets and you’re killin me

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys(x2)

In here the world won’t bring us down

Our plan is golden

Out there a lonely girl could drown

In here were frozen

Where did the people go?

My hands are empty

You're not the answer I should know

Like all the boys before, like all the boys before

(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,)

(Chorus)

Were in a mess baby, were in a mess babe

Your more is less babe (oh, oh)

Were in a mess baby, were in a mess babe

Your more is less babe (oh, oh!)

(Chorus)

Were under the sheets and you're killin me

In our house made of paper, and you're words all over me

We're under the sheets and you’re killin' me

(I’ve seen you in a fight you lost)

Like all the boys before, like all the boys before

Were under the sheets and your killing me

Our house full of paper and you're words all over me

Were under the sheets and you’re killing me

(oh you’re killin me, your killin me!!)

Were under the sheets and you're killing me

In our house made of paper, your words all over me

Were under the sheets and you’re killin me

(killin me, killin me, killin me)

Killin me, killin me, killin me

Oh, oh, starry eyed

Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars

That I let go, let go

For anyone

Take me in

And I'll throw out my heart

And get a new one

Next thing, we're touching

You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

So we burst

Into colours

Colours

And carousels

Fall head first

Like paper planes and playground games

Next thing, we're touching

You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

(We come and we go)

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

(But we're not in love)

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

(We come and we go)

(But we're not in love)

Next thing, we're touching

Next thing, we're touching

Hit me with lightning

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And everybody glows

Oh

Everybody's starry eyed

And my body goes
