OH WONDER LYRICS
album: "Oh Wonder" (2015)
Livewire
I’ve been depending on the overgrown
Too many lovers that I’ll never know
Counting my losses as I let them go
Heavy the water as I sink below...
[Pre-Chorus:]
Down down deep down
Down deep down
Down down deep down
[Chorus:]
Oh won’t you be my livewire?
Make me feel like I’m set on fire
Your love will take me higher and higher
Oh won’t you be my livewire?
I’ve been pretending all my shots are blown
Cover my heart up never let it show
I’m shaking it off to find a higher low
So heavy the water
Oh so heavy the water falling...
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear me falling...
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
So hold me when I fall away from the lines
When I’m losing it all, when I’m wasting the light
And hold me when I put my heart in your hands
When I’m losing it all, when I’m wasting it all
[Chorus]

Body Gold
Before you came round my heart would never beat much faster
Before you came round I was ready to slow down
Before you came round I was heading for a small disaster
Before you came round I was ready to blow me down
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
Before I was found I felt like I could drain the ocean
Before I was found I didn’t wanna breathe out
Now my soul beats a sound loud enough to quiet the thunder
A love with no doubt and now I’m never gonna slow down
Never gonna slow down
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
Let it go, paint my body gold
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
[x3]
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
On the ground
[x3]
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
Let it go, paint my body gold
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
(And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds)
[x2]
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

Technicolour Beat
Lay down your slow
Come settle down, settle down
Let loose your glow
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
Jump into the heat
Spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat
You and me
Caught up in a dream
In a technicolour beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Warm unalone
Come settle down, settle down
Swing me your bones
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
Jump into the heat
Spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat
You and me
Caught up in a dream
In a technicolour beat
Beat
Give me one drop
I can feel you
Make me lose control
We be walking
On the water
We're moving in a technicolour beat
Moving in a technicolour beat
Jump into the heat
(Falling off the ceiling)
Spinning on our feet
We're moving in a technicolour beat
You and me
(Found another feeling)
Caught up in a dream
We're moving in a technicolour beat
Jump into the heat
Spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat
You and me
Caught up in a dream
In a technicolour beat
Beat
Beat

Drive
Sat back with the window down
Eighty an hour and the radio loud
The same songs with the same old rhymes
Tell me to shake it off and swing from the lights
But I can’t help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won’t go away
And I promised I’d be there but you don’t make it easy
Darling please believe me
Cos loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do’s not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Count stacks of the routine lies
Funny how easy you could see my blindside
Still the same songs with the same old beats
Sure I could stay but there’s a place I’d rather be
But I can’t help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won’t go away
And I promised I’d be there but you don’t make it easy
Darling please believe me
Cos loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do’s not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
See I remember all the times you made me covered in crazy
I can’t forgot about the way you played me
Like I was never gonna change your world
It ended long ago so please just let me go
It ended long ago so please just let me go
******************************************
Lose It
Downtown we let it go
Sunset high and our bodies low
Blood rush in the hazy glow
My hands, your bones
Loose up we break the scene
One step deep as you fall to me
Heart clap, we skip a beat
Count one two three
And don't you stop the music
Get into it
Won't you dance with me?
Find a place and lose it
You can do it
Won't you dance with me?
Move your feet and feel it in the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment, let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Your name I'll never know
As we get down in the world below
Caught up in an overflow
My hands, your bones
Wide eyed, you look at me
Set on fire in a silver dream
Spin round you can feel the breeze
Count one, two, three
And don't you stop the music
Get into it
Won't you dance with me?
Find a place and lose it
You can do it
Won't you dance with me?
Move your feet and feel it in the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment, let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Make a spark, break the dark
Find a light with me
Who we are from the start
Won't you dance with me?
Make a spark, break the dark
Find a light with me
Who we are chasing stars
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
And don't you stop the music
Get into it
Won't you dance with me?
Find a place and lose it
You can do it
Won't you dance with me?
Move your feet and feel it in the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment, let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it
Lose it
Lose it
We gotta lose it
Move your feet and feel it in the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment, let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it

Landslide
I know it hurts sometimes but
You'll get over it
You'll find another life to live
I know you'll get over it
I know you're sad and tired
You've got nothing left to give
But you'll find another life to live
I know you'll get over it
So when you're caught in a landslide
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
And in the rain, give you sunshine
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
And every time that you're lonely
Every time that you're feeling low, you should know
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, you know
I know your hope is heavy but
You'll get over it
You'll find another life to live
I know you'll get over it
And I know you feel like everything
Is falling to the wind
But don't you let the thunder in
Cause I know you'll get over it
So when you're caught in a landslide
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
And in the rain, give you sunshine
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
And every time that you're lonely
Every time that you're feeling low, you should know
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, you know
You fell down by the wayside
Love locked in an overflow
And you threw stones at the starlight
Cause I stood on the sidelines telling you
That I get that you're lonely
And I see that you feel alone
But I heard in a heartbeat
I'll be there here for you, you know
So when you're caught in a landslide
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
And in the rain, give you sunshine
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
And every time that you're lonely
Every time that you're feeling low, you should know
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, you know
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, you know
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, you know
And every time that you're lonely
Every time that you're feeling low, you should know
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you, you know

White Blood
I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
Can't do it alone, can't do it alone
I'm ready to run through the heat of the sun
Can't do it alone, can't do it alone
I'm ready to fall, so tired of it all
Down deep in a hole, can't do it alone
I'm ready to climb this mountain inside
Impossible heights
Said you'd always be my white blood
Circulate the right love
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
Said you'd always be my white blood
Elevate my soul above
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
I'm ready to go, I’m ready to go
Can't do it alone, can’t do it alone
I’m ready to run through the heat of the sun
Can’t do it alone, can't do it alone
I’m ready to hope, swing me out of the low
Wide awake in the glow, can't do it alone
I’m ready to fly, uncover the light
Impossible heights
Said you'd always be my white blood
Circulate the right love
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
Said you'd always be my white blood
Elevate my soul above
Giving me your white blood
I need you right here with me
******************************************
Without You
Step out into the sun
Skies above they radiate me
Lift up, carry the love
Do you know?
That I've been out of my mind
This slow life I'm waiting for you
To swing me all of your line
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
I find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Step out into the dark
Where were you when I was trying
To lift up, carry the love
Do you know?
That I've been closing my eyes
Love me slow, hallucinating
Swinging me all of your light
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
I find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Hold me close when it's over
Life goes slow loving sober
Feel my bones getting older
Sadness grows when you're cold
Cause I am one step heavy and two steps high
Hold it steady with you by my side
One step heavy and two steps high
Two steps high
Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you

The Rain
Ever since the rain I’ve been waking on my own
Left an empty space in a home we built to grow
Watching waves at night I fell into the blue
I guess I lost the light, now I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my, given all my love to you, you
Ever since the rain I’ve been living days too slow
Lie around and wait for a heart I used to know
They say that over time there’ll be nothing left to lose
But I still can’t find the light, I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my, given all my love to you, You
[x2]
In the night when I’m dreaming
Oh I know your body’s next to mine
In the dark I can feel it
Don’t you tell me I’m dreaming
Won’t you stay with me?
[x4]
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my love to you
I’ve given all my, given all my love to you, You
[x2]

Dazzle
You got diamonds in your eyes tonight
Throwing fire, trying to make it right
You’re getting higher than the ceiling lights
And falling hard enough to lose the fight
Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment, paying for the kill
Golden grill of sadness, mid-life wasted youth
Always ends up like this, always gonna lose
Dazzle me, dazzle me, dazzle me with gold
You’ll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money
Dazzle me, dazzle me, throw away your gold
You’ll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money, that money
There’s a human in your heart of hearts
Hiding true colours made you fall apart
In the mirror you’re a work of art
But this is real life, real life
Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment, paying for the kill
Golden grill of sadness, mid-life wasted youth
Always ends up like this, always gonna lose
Dazzle me, dazzle me, dazzle me with gold
You’ll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money
Dazzle me, dazzle me, throw away your gold
You’ll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money, that money
Give me neon lights, roll me paper heights
I can feel the dice, cooling me
See the plastic life through my bloodshot eyes
I am wild alive, I am wild alive
Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment, paying for the kill
Golden grill of sadness, mid-life wasted youth
Always ends up like this, always gonna lose
(Give me that gold)
Dazzle me, dazzle me, dazzle me with gold
You’ll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money
Dazzle me, dazzle me, throw away your gold
You’ll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money, that money

All We Do
All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day
All we do is lie and wait
All we do is, all we do is lie and wait
All we do is feel the fade
All we do is, all we do is feel the fade
I've been upside down
I don't wanna be the right way round
Can't find paradise on the ground
[x2]
All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day
All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
All we do is play it safe
All we do, all we do
I've been upside down
I don't wanna be the right way round
Can't find paradise on the ground
[x2]
All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day
All I did was fail today
All I wanna be is whites in waves
All I did was fail today
All we do, all we do
******************************************
Midnight Moon
You with the wide eyes, don't lose your courage
You swing your head high and don't be worried
Your heart's in a free ride, feel it beating
Caught in the headlights, climb to the ceiling
We're all animals out in the dark
Got a feeling that we're all believing in
Not waiting for daylight to start
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon
You with the sad smile, don't lose your courage
Dance in the high tide and don't be worried
Your soul's in a wild fire, feel it beating
Dreams on a gold wire, won't you believe it?
We're all animals out in the dark
Got a feeling that we're all believing in
Not waiting for daylight to start
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon
We are going over, we are going over and over
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon

Shark
Standing on the world outside
Caught up in a love landslide
Stuck still, color blind
Hoping for a black and white
Are you gonna be my love?
Are you gonna be mine?
I feel it falling from the skies above
Are you gonna be mine?
My wave, my shark, my demon in the dark
The blue tide pulling me under
Or are you my soul, my heart, pull everything apart?
Are you gonna, are you gonna be my love?
[x2]
Walking on the clouds unknown
Drop down oh I will never go, never go, never go,
Floating like gravity has grown
Reach down to a deep deep hole, deep hole, deep deep hole
Are you gonna be my love?
Are you gonna be mine?
I feel it falling from the skies above
Are you gonna be mine?
My wave, my shark, my demon in the dark
The blue tide pulling me under
Or are you my soul, my heart, pull everything apart?
Are you gonna, are you gonna be my love?
[x4]
Standing on the world outside
I’m a shark in a love landslide
******************************************
Heart Hope
They're building towers that are high enough to see the clouds
But it don't bother me
The elevators working overtime up and down
Yet it don't bother me
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self deep within
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self, a higher self
And I know we need a little heart hope
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope
They're building aeroplanes faster than the speed of light
Yet it don't bother me
The endless cities multiplying out oceansize
Yet it don't bother me
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self deep within
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self, a higher self
And I know we need a little heart hope
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope
Cause there is something more than everything
So feel the love and let it in
Cause I know we need a little heart hope
And I know we need a little heart hope
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope
Cause there is something more than everything
So feel the love and let it in
Cause I know we need a little heart hope

Plans
Made a home in a basement
Didn't think that I'd need the light
Cause all these plans I've been making
Get me out of here in time
But it's always two steps backwards
Too much gravity to feel the highs
And all these plans I've been chasing
Getting caught up and wasted
I don't know where the money goes
I get broke as the city glows
Shines bright as I sink down low
Down low
But I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Gonna build a paper plane to float to you
You know, don't you know
We'll be scraping the skies with out fingertips
Screaming "This is the life, we were born for this"
See I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
I've got a hope in the headlights
Stood still but I'm feeling fine
Cause all these plans I've been making
Will get me out of here in time
But it's always two steps backwards
Too much gravity to feel the highs
And all these plans I've been chasing
Getting caught up and wasted
I don't know where the money goes
I get broke as the city glows
Shines bright as I sink down low
Down low
But I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Gonna build a paper plane to float to you
You know, don't you know
We'll be scraping the skies with out fingertips
Screaming "This is the life, we were born for this"
See I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
You know, you know, you know
