No Light, No Light—Florence + The Machine
You are the hole in my head,
You are the space in my bed,
You are the silence in between what I thought
And what I said.You are the night-time fear,
You are the morning when it’s clear,
When it’s over you’ll start—
You’re my head,
You’re my heart.No light, no light in your bright blue eyes,
I never knew daylight could be so violent,
A revelation in the light of day,
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away.And I’d do anything to make you stay,
No light, no light,
Tell me what you want me to say.Through the crowd, I was crying out,
And in your place there were a thousand other faces.
I was disappearing in plain sight,
Heaven help me, I need to make it right.You want a revelation,
You want to get it right,
But it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight.
You want a revelation,
Some kind of resolution,
You want a revelation.No light, no light in your bright blue eyes,
I never knew daylight could be so violent,
A revelation in the light of day,
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away.And I’d do anything to make you stay,
No light, no light,
Tell me what you want me to say.Would you leave me
If I told you what I’ve done?
And would you need me
If I told you what I’ve become?
’Cause it’s so easy
To say it to a crowd,
But it’s so hard, my love,
To say it to you alone.No light, no light in your bright blue eyes,
I never knew daylight could be so violent,
A revelation in the light of day,
You can’t choose what stays and what fades away.And I’d do anything to make you stay,
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say.You want a revelation,
You want to get it right,
But it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight.
You want a revelation,
Some kind of resolution,
You want a revelation.You want a revelation,
You want to get it right
But it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight.
You want a revelation,
Some kind of resolution,
Tell me what you want me to say.
