Figure 8

Ellie Goulding

Halcyon Days, 2012, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of a car with you, I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
And then you take it all away
Way, way, way, way
Place a kiss on my cheekbone
When you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
And when you take it all away
Way, way, way, way
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
And then you take it all away
