Lose You To Love Me lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club (feat. Rae Morris)
(originally by Selena Gomez)
You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it
Set fire to my forest
And you let it burn
Sang off-key in my chorus
'Cause it wasn't yours, yeah
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn
You got off on the hurting
When it wasn't yours, yeah
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
I gave my all and they all know it
Then you tore me down and now it's showing
In two months, you replaced us
Like it was easy
Made me think I deserved it
In the thick of healing, yeah
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love, yeah
To love, love
To love, love, yeah
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love
To love, love, yeah
To love, love
To love, love, yeah
Motel Blues lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club
(originally by Loudon Wainwright III)
In this town, television shuts off at two
Oh, what can a lonely rock and roller do?
Oh, the beds are big and the sheets are clean, and
Your girlfriend said you were nineteen
The Styrofoam ice bucket's full of ice
Come up to my motel room
And treat me nice
I don't wanna make no late night New York calls
I don't wanna stare at them ugly grass-mat walls
Chronologically, I know you're young
But when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue
I'll write you a song and put it on my next LP
Come up to my motel room
And sleep with me
There's a Bible in the drawer, don't be afraid
I'll put up a sign; warn the clean-up maid
Oh, there's lots of soap and there's lots of towels
Never mind those desk clerk scowls
I'll buy you breakfast
They'll think you're my wife
Come up to my motel room
And save my life
Road lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club & The Staves
(originally by Nick Drake)
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
You can say the sun is shining if you really want to (You can say the sun is shining if you really want to)
I can see the moon and it seems so clear (I can see the moon and it seems so clear)
You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through (You can take a road that takes you to the stars now)
You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
Terrapin Station lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club (feat. Flyte)
(originally by Grateful Dead)
["Lady with a Fan"]
Let my inspiration flow
In token rhyme suggesting rhythm
That will not forsake me
Till my tale is told and done
While the firelight's aglow
Strange shadows from the flames will grow
Till things we've never seen
Will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor forming
Winds both foul and fair all swarm
Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady
Many years ago
Here beside him stands a man
A soldier from the looks of him
Who came through many fights
But lost at love
While the storyteller speaks
A door within the fire creaks
Suddenly flies open
And a girl is standing there
Eyes alight with glowing hair
All that fancy paints as fair
She takes her fan and throws it
In the lion's den
"Which of you to gain me, tell
Will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you
If you will not take the chance"
The sailor gave at least a try
The soldier being much too wise
Strategy was his strength
And not disaster
The sailor coming out again
The lady fairly leapt at him
That's how it stands today
You decide if he was wise
The storyteller makes no choice
Soon you will not hear his voice
His job is to shed light
And not to master
Since the end is never told
We pay the teller off in gold
In hopes he will come back
But he cannot be bought or sold
["Terrapin Station"]
Inspiration move me brightly
Light the song with sense and color
Hold away despair
More than this I will not ask
Faced with mysteries dark and vast
Statements just seem vain at last
Some rise, some fall, some climb
To get to Terrapin
Counting stars by candlelight
All are dim but one is bright:
The spiral light of Venus
Rising first and shining best
Oh, from the northwest corner
Of a brand-new crescent moon
Crickets and cicadas sing
A rare and different tune
Terrapin Station
In the shadow of the moon
Terrapin Station
And I know we'll be there soon
Terrapin - I can't figure out
Terrapin - if it's the end or beginning
Terrapin - but the train's put its brakes on
Terrapin - and the whistle is screaming:
Terrapin!
["At a Siding"]
While you were gone
These faces filled with darkness
The obvious was hidden
With nothing to believe in
The compass always points to Terrapin
Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain
You're back in Terrapin for good or ill again
For good or ill again
Towers lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club
And it's one long journey
I want to last
To walk home talking
Of the night just passed
To stop me then
I know not when
You said, "Make it end"
When the towers are shaking, I know
Breaking, I know
And the weights were lifted
One by one
And you shot me over
Over, with a silenced gun
And you solved it then
But I know not when
You made it end
When the towers are shaking, I know
Breaking, I know
When the towers are shaking, I know
Breaking, I know
Two Lives lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club
Maybe I'm a dreamer, maybe I'm a fool
Lately I can hardly see the sun
If you hide a secret I could take a guess
Nothing in your eyes seems to hold on me
Truth or consequences, which one will it be?
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has grown apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart
One of us is hiding, one of us can tell
'Cause no one likes to be the first to know
Someone has to answer 'cause someone has to ask
Keeping on like this is torture
And going undecided is twice as bad for sure
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has grown apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has grown apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart
Will You, Won't You lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club
Going way beyond the line
Hoping, hoping you're alright
And I'm feeling
Feeling old and tired
I'm feeling, feeling old life
But I won't lie
No, I won't lie
Will you, won't you?
Will you, won't you?
Sending all these different signs
But yours aren't quite the same as mine
But I'm feeling, feeling old and tired
I'm feeling, feeling old life
But I won't lie
No, I won't lie
Will you, won't you?
Will you, won't you?
Will you, won't you?
Will you, won't you?
You Already Know lyrics - Bombay Bicycle Club (feat. Kathryn Williams)
The moment we forgot we were just good friends
I moved my arm, her face went red again
One more bus home, another silent weekend
You said love was painted gold
Like all things growing old
The paint peels and slowly falls
You already know
You already know
You already know
Lookin' out the glass though we sit together
We both know we could be someone better
Not with our heads like London weather
You said love was painted gold
Like all things growing old
The paint peels and slowly falls
You already know
You already know
You already know
You already know
