Embrace (feat. White Lies)

When the daylight weighs a tonne

And all my friends are gone,

There's rust around the things I love,

When it's fraying at the seams of reality and dreams,

All those dreams are quiet and dull

This town's alright

But it's not enough

I'm looking for a quick exit

Like a prisoner on the run

[x2]

Big time breakdown

Look how the stars come out

Big time breakdown

Why didn't you just shout

I'm lonely and I'm looking

For a place to go

Where everything's an embrace

And everybody wants to know

I'm your absent Valentine

And the pigtails in the bride

I'm the still that carves the toes in your bottle

I'm the lynch mob in the dark

I'm the silk worm in your heart

Spinning out my perfect circle

This town's alright

But it's not enough

I'm looking for a quick exit

Like a prisoner on the run

[x2]

Big time breakdown

Look how the stars come out

Big time breakdown

Why didn't you just shout

I'm lonely and I'm looking

For a place to go

Where everything's an embrace

And everybody wants to know

I'm on the water

Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter

Come, come undone

Fetch your sister, fetch your son

This town's alright

But it's not enough

I'm looking for a quick exit

Like a prisoner on the run

[x2]

Big time breakdown

Look how the stars come out

Big time breakdown

Why didn't you just shout

I'm lonely and I'm looking

For a place to go

Where everything's an embrace

And everybody wants to know
