Lyrics

Mercurial World (Piano & Strings)

[Verse 1]

Hold me down to the Earth

When the storm's right in front of us

Tell me we'll make it work

You're as sure as the stars on top of us

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it's the way that you are

Steady and sound when I feel so crazy

The way that you are

How could I doubt the obvious?

[Chorus]

We're spinning around, so let it rain down

Living in a mercurial world

You'll be around, always holding me down

Living in a mercurial world

[Verse 2]

Kiss me right where it hurts

Wash away all the falling dust

Worried I'll make you worse

But you're teaching me how to trust in us

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it's the way that we are

Steady and strong when it's all so crazy

Thе way that we are

So how could I doubt the obvious?

[Chorus]

Wе're spinning around, so let it rain down

Living in a mercurial world

You'll be around, always holding me down

Living in a mercurial world

[Bridge]

Only you and me

Only, only you and me

Only you and me

Against the universe, baby

You and me

Only, only you and me

Only you and me

Against the universe

Only you and me

Only, only you and me

In a mercurial world

Only you and me

Only, only you and me

In a mercurial world

[Outro]

Living in a mercurial world

Living in a mercurial world

Living in a mercurial world

Living in a mercurial world
