Lyrics Florence + the Machine

Florence + the Machine

Heartlines

Ohh the river, ohh the river, it’s running free

And ohh the joy, ohh 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...

Keeep iiit (you can) uuup

We will carry

We will carry you there

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…

On the sea, on the sea and land over land.

Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand.

Still I follow heartlines on your head.

And 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,

Can I be returned?

Keeep iiit uuup

You can

We 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…

Oooh

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
