Embrace

Lyrics

[Verse 1: White Lies] When the daylight weighs a tonne And all my friends are gone There's rust around the things I'd loved When it's fraying at the seams Of reality and dreams All those dreams are quiet and dull [Pre-Chorus: White Lies] This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run [Chorus: White Lies] Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown Why didn't you just shout? I'm lonely Without looking for a place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know [Verse 2: White Lies] I'm your absent Valentine And the pigtails in the bride I'm the steel that carves the toes in your bathtub I'm the lynch mob in the dark I'm the silk worm in your heart Spinning out my perfect circles [Pre-Chorus] This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit Like a prisoner on the run [Chorus] Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown Why didn't you just shout? I'm lonely Without looking for a place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know [Bridge: White Lies] Calm on the water Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter Come, come undone Fetch your sister, fetch your son [Pre-Chorus + Bridge (simultaneous)] This town's alright (Calm on the water) But it's not enough (Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter) I'm looking for a quick exit (Come, come undone) Like a prisoner on the run (Fetch your sister, fetch your son) This town's alright (Calm on the water) But it's not enough (Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter) I'm looking for a quick exit (Come, come undone) Like a prisoner on the run (Fetch your sister, fetch your son) [Chorus] Big time breakdown Look how the stars come out Big time breakdown Why didn't you just shout? I'm lonely Without looking for a place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know [Outro: White Lies] I'm lonely Without looking for a place to go Where everything's an embrace And everybody wants to know
