Alchemy Lyrics by Dan Smith

Before Bastille

2009

[Verse 1]
I will never look the way you do
And I will never do the things you want me to
But I will never write the way you do

[Pre-Chorus]
And it is very plain to see

[Chorus]
You want alchemy
Right out of me
You want alchemy
You want alchemy
Right out of me
You want alchemy

[Verse 2]
It is hard to force creativity
And this what it seems to provoke from me
But I will never write the way you do

[Pre-Chorus]
And it is very plain to see

[Chorus]
You want alchemy
Right out of me
You want alchemy
You want alchemy
Right out of me
You want alchemy

[Bridge]
Alchemy....

Alchemy, right out of me
Alchemy

Alchemy, right of of me
Alchemy

Alchemy..

I'll write you a pop song baby
I'll write you a pop song baby
I'll write you a pop song baby
I'll write you a pop song baby

[Outro]
Alchemy, right out of me
Alchemy
Alchemy, right out of me
Alchemy
