Bird of Prey Lyrics by Emily James

Illuminate

2022

[Verse 1]
This is strange, I don't know how to say it
But I'm a little less numb when I'm with you
Dangerous game, that you started playing
Just hope you know what you're getting into
Bird of prey, landing on a lion's back
How'd you learn to be so fearless like that
[Verse 2]
'cause you say everything that you're thinking
Without any doubt you hand it to me
And I'm trying to listen
And drown out the sound of my fear surrounding
Stay, if you really want to
Teach me how to keep my two feet grounded
[Chorus]
I'm not making plans, no I can't start
But I'll keep my eye out for a glow in the dark, oh
Please just be patient with me
I've been running on empty
Trying to feel my way back to my heart
[Verse 3]
I'll push you away, 'cause that's the part that's easy
No harm, no foul, no messy feelings
But you're still not leaving
Standing so steady with your arms around me
Stay, all through the night,, oh
Show me this is something we should fight for
[Chorus]
I'm not making plans, no I can't start
But I'll keep my eye out for a glow in the dark, oh
Please just be patient with me
I get so scared, so easy
Finding my way back to my
[Bridge]
I'll admit you're on my mind
Far more than I'd like you to be
More than I agreed to feeling
Tell me how'd you get me here?
[Chorus]
I'm not making plans, no I can't start
But I'll keep my eye out for a glow in the dark, oh
Please just be patient with me
I need to take this slowly
Finding my way back to my heart
Finding my way back to my heart
