Ellie Goulding Tribute EP

 Guns And Horses

You're so quiet but it doesn't faze me
You're on time you move so fast, makes me feel lazy
Let's join forces we've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned but every fire is a lesson learned
I left my house left my clothes door wide open
Heaven knows you're so worth it, you are
But I wish I could feel it all for you I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain maybe you'd feel the same I'd do it all for you I would

Let's type words because they amount to nothing
Play it down pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me on a screen you sit at permanently
I left my house left my clothes door wide open
Heaven knows you're so worth it, you are
But I wish I could feel it all for you I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain maybe you'd feel the same I'd do it all for you I would

It's time to come clean and make sense of everything it's time that we found out who we are
Because when I'm standing here in the dark I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel it all for you I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain maybe you'd feel the same I'd do it all for you I would
I'd do it all for you, I'd do it all for you

Explosions

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost and I gave in
I lacked the things you need the most you said where have you been?
You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into but you never tried
I've fallen from grace took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost I've loved and I've lost
Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid but it will never be the same

You left my soul bleeding in the dark so you could be king
The rules you set are still untold to me and I've lost my faith in everything
The nights you could cope your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake I need to know I can still make
Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid but it will never be the same

And as the floods move in and your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind I know you better than you think
Because it's simple I gave you warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion I pray that you'll find peace of mind
And I'll find you another time I'll love you, another time
Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid but it will never be the same

Burn

We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing
Because we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky because we got the fire
And we gonna let it burn we gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn, burn we gonna let it burn

We don't wanna leave we just wanna be right now right now
And what we see is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out
Music's on, I'm waking up, we fight the fire, then we burn it up
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no sleeping now, no sleeping now, no sleeping
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky because we got the fire
And we gonna let it burn we gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn, burn we gonna let it burn

When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world we gonna let it burn
We can light it up so they can't put it out
We can light it up so they can't put it out
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky because we got the fire
And we gonna let it burn we gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn, burn we gonna let it burn and we gonna let it burn

Army

I know that I've been messed up you never let me give up
All the nights and the fights and the blood and the breakups
You're always there to call up I'm a pain, I'm a child, I'm afraid
But yet you understand like no one can
Know that we don't look like much but no one fucks it up like us
16 and you never even judged me matter of fact I always thought you were too cool for me
Sitting there in the caravan all the nights we've been drunk on the floor
And yet you understand like no one can
We both know what they say about us but they don't stand a chance because
When I'm with you I'm standing with an army
When I'm with you I'm standing with an army

Dark times, you could always find the bright side
I'm amazed by the things that you would sacrifice
Just to be there for me how you cringe when you sing out of tune
But yet it's everything so don't change a thing
We both know what they say about us but they don't stand a chance because
When I'm with you I'm standing with an army
When I'm with you I'm standing with an army

Let It Die

Headlights flashing, cold eyes know your bullets fly through the night
Broken doors falling, and hotel floors I was never yours, never mine
All I said was "hello, hello you just stood and watched me cry to pass the time
And all I said was "hello, hello tell me how to say "goodbye," because it's goodbye
I can't stay on my knees give me some mercy, please it's alright that it died
I wanted everything more than your love could give it's alright that it died

See change whispers in the waves watch my souls drown peacefully
And empires crumble to the shores I was never yours, never mine
All I said was "hello, hello you just stood and watched me cry to pass the time
And all I said was "hello, hello tell me how to say "goodbye," because it's goodbye
I can't stay on my knees give me some mercy, please it's alright that it died
I wanted everything more than your love could give it's alright that it died

Figure 8

Take it all away breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of a car with you I stare into the sun still not too old to die young
But lovers hold on to everything and lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8 I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day and then you take it all away

Place a kiss on my cheekbone then you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
But lovers hold on to everything and lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8 I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day and then you take it all away

So lovers hold on to everything and lovers hold on to anything
So lovers hold on to everything and lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8 I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day and then you take it all away
