Embrace (feat. White Lies)

When the daylight weighs a ton and all my friends are gone
There's rust around the things I love
When it's fraying at the seams of reality and dreams
All those dreams are quiet and dull

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

Big time breakdown, look how the stars come out
Big time breakdown, why didn't you just shout?
I'm lonely and I'm looking for a place to go
Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to know

I'm your absent Valentine and the pigtails in the brine
I'm the still that carves the toes in your bottle
I'm the lynch mob in the dark, I'm the silk worm in your heart
Spinning out my perfect circle

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

Big time breakdown, look how the stars come out
Big time breakdown, why didn't you just shout?
I'm lonely and I'm looking for a place to go
Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to know

Come on the water
Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter
Come, come undone
Fetch your sister, fetch your son

(Come on the water. Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter) / This town's alright but it's not enough
(Come, come undone. Fetch your sister, fetch your son) / I'm looking for a quick exit like a prisoner on the run
(Come on the water. Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter) / This town's alright but it's not enough
(Come, come undone. Fetch your sister, fetch your son) / I'm looking for a quick exit like a prisoner on the run
Big time breakdown, look how the stars come out
Big time breakdown, why didn't you just shout?
I'm lonely and I'm looking for a place to go
Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to know
I'm lonely and I'm looking for a place to go
Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to know
