Animal Lyrics by Ellie Goulding

Bright Lights (Deluxe Version)

2010

[Verse 1]
I'll show you all of the places I'm dreaming of
I'll take you to the ocean, I'll bring the sun
We are seventeen, we have just begun
I have loved a 5/4 and then some, but you are the one
The one, the one, the one, the one
The one, the one, the one
[Verse 2]
Wake up in the morning, we're paralysed (Oh)
We'll fly into the garden like butterflies (Oh)
There will be no blood and there'll be no pain (Oh)
I want to fall in love with you again, again, again (Oh)
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again
[Chorus]
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defences
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal
[Verse 3]
I'll tie you in my arms, I will smother you
We'll tell each other lies like we tell the truth
I'll colour in the sky and I'll colour you
I want to draw on your skin again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
[Chorus]
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defences
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
[Bridge]
We will run away from danger
We will run away
(I have loved a 5/4)
[Chorus]
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defences
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
