La Roux – Everything I Live For lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, a warning light is shining, saying I would not be saved
I'm sick of hiding, face it, you and I don't walk the same
When a certain man started spinning lies, it started to rain
Now I see it, I am clearly terrified of modern day

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, lately there's something in the atmosphere
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear
Taking me places I don't wanna be
Showing me things that I don't wanna see
Lately there's something in the atmosphere
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear
Taking me places I don't wanna be
Showing me things that I don't wanna see

[Chorus]
Now I'm really feeling different
Oh, can't you see, you've done it this time?
It's everything I live for
Smell the fire and spot the signs
Those fantasies of better times
That prophecy that makes you learn
It's hard to find
Oh, plant the seed, don't trip on it
Can you really get a grip on it?
Take your time

When you run it 'til it fills, overflows and spills, then you know
Oh, then you learn
When someone irritates my thrills and bends me back until I return
Will I return?
It depends if I find out if we're going back again
It's the same thing this time
‘Cause I'm tryna be that woman now
(Do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do)
And I think it's turning out alright
(Do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, lately there's something in the atmosphere
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear
Taking me places I don't wanna be
Showing me things that I don't wanna see
Lately there's something in the atmosphere
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear
Taking me places I don't wanna be
Showing me things that I don't wanna see

[Chorus]
Now I'm really feeling different
Oh, can't you see, you've done it this time?
It's everything I live for
Smell the fire and spot the signs
Those fantasies of better times
That prophecy that makes you learn
It's hard to find
Oh, plant the seed, don't trip on it
Can you really get a grip on it?
Take your time

[Bridge]
If you really think you're innocent
Then learn how to fly
If you really think you're giving some
Reach out and touch the sky
If you really think you're innocent
Then learn how to fly
If you really think you're giving some
Reach out and touch the sky

[Outro]
I'd rather say it now, before it comes 'round again
I'd rather say it now, turn around and count to ten
