juli strawbridge - floodlights lyrics
[verse 1]
your mother didn’t let me go up to your room
the night we kissed for the first time
your walls were painted different shades of blue
you told me i was your first time
[pre-chorus]
said you never wanted to be like your father
wearing neckties, coming home at night with the hard grey in his dark green eyes
baby, we don’t know where we ended up
you promised me that we’d leave this place that very night
[chorus]
so baby don’t you run away from here without me
i swore on my grave that i’d take your word if you lie every time you speak
’cause we’ve been coming home late since the day we started
let’s never go home tonight
’cause baby they’ll be looking for us for days
and we’ll be running from the floodlights
[verse 2]
hold my hand and lead me down the stairs
take the first train out of the city
feel that aching to get lost from here
as long as you’re longing with me
[pre-chorus]
said i’ll never miss being her perfect daughter
said goodbye after our first night, take me far away from the light
baby, we’re all messed up we found this light
i promise that this is your mistake, it won’t be mine
[chorus]
so baby don’t you run away from here without me
i swore on my grave that i’d take your word if you lie every time you speak
’cause we’ve been coming home late since the day we started
let’s never go home tonight
’cause baby they’ll be looking for us for days
and we’ll be running from the floodlights
[bridge]
baby don’t wake up and be so unsure of it all
just take my hand and take the fall (fall)
baby don’t tell me you think we got it all wrong
’cause you’re the dark that i’ve been trying to find
the only place that i can’t hide
stay so they can say that we’re both gone
[chorus]
baby don’t you run away from here without me
i swore on my grave that i’d take your word if you lie every time you speak
’cause we’ve been coming home late since the day we started
let’s never go home tonight
’cause baby they’ll be looking for us for days
and we’ll be running from the floodlights
