Dido Girl Who Got Away - Deluxe Lyrics
1.No Freedom

Lyricist:Dido ArmstrongRick Nowels
Writer(s):Dido ArmstrongRick Nowels

Take it by your silence
That I'm free to walk out the door
By the look in your eyes I can tell
You don't think I'll be back for more

Try to think of the world
Where you could stay and these safe hands could go
Take your heart above the water
Wherever I choose to go

No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love

Even when you don't see me
Even when you don't hear
I'll be flying low below the sun
And you'll feel it all out here

No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love

No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love

Standing here in silence
The world in front of me
Holding you in my hand
And seeing as you'd see

No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love
No freedom without love


2.Girl Who Got Away

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong

I wanna move with the seasons
And go with the flow
And take it easy
And let stuff go

I wanna sleep like a baby
Rise with the sun
And kick it all back
And get nothing done

I wanna make this day
The longest day
With a warmth that
Delivers happiness

If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song

Don't wanna take sides
Don't wanna make sense
Of pounds and pence

I want to be alone
I don't wanna hide
Don't wanna be talked over
Or walked upon

I wanna think the heart
Is bigger than the head
Wanna follow you
But not be led

If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song

I know what it's like
To be passed over
To go unnoticed
To be clumsy get things wrong
And I know what it's like
To arrive too late
To be told to leave
To be walked upon

If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song


3.Let Us Move On(feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Don't wrap it up and go or hide it behind the sun
Just give it to me as it is
And let it stand
Don't fly it like a kite...between the clouds
It needs no excuse, just bring it down

Let us that are in pain look upon it
In all its glory
Let us move on, Let us move on
This is short and it will pass
Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

Every voice that is lifted
River and some pain
Show us now, and let love not be chained
We should feel what we can stop, let us be alive
Show enough, and we've done, now we can

Let us that are frozen get to see
In all its glory
Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short and it will pass
Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

And let all that is lost be forgotten
And it will pass
So let all that is lost be forgotten
Let us move on

Like the waters and the open sea
With tribulation come over you say yes hopefully
And yesterday you could probably say there's no hope for me
But today I'm overly dedicated
I'm posting via testimony for broken hearts in the city
You're either crash landing or planning on flyin' with me
Misery love standing behind his company,
Well, vividly I could see that your feelings would like to dwell
On our past encounters, reaching over the counter
Told me that it's appealing to ?op a pill less or down now
I heard emotions burn deep
I heard when you fall out of love, the drop is deep
I heard when you see a thug that's what you try to be
Git these burdens under my wings but I'm still free
Cause I can make the decision to let it all go away
Before I ever run astray, I looked you in the eye and say

Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short and it will pass
Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short and it will pass
Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short, and in the past
And in the past


4.Blackbird

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong

He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
And he put down a key and said I won't be needing that
And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
And said I'll call, I'll call

Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain?
Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

Now there's a black black blackbird in my chest
All the flutter, it all caged in
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
You're tearing every words that I should have said

Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain?
Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

We're like the strangers we were
When we first met
But the kind of strangers at the end
And all that remains is a day without plans
The loneliness and love ever outside

Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain?
Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?


5.End Of Night

Lyricist:Dido ArmstrongGreg Kurstin
Writer(s):Dido ArmstrongGreg Kurstin

Only now it's gone
I can see the year
See it for what it was
And start another day

All the liberty you took
The love that you abused
The friends that you turned
Against me if you could

And you're twisting what I say
All that saying you were scared
It doesn't matter anymore
Cause I'm not there

You were careless when the beat kicked in
And careless when it left
And careless all the way
I didn't see it till the end

I feel nothing
When you cry
I hear nothing
See no need to reply
I can smile now
And turn away
Come over here
So you can see me walk away
And celebrate

It only takes one lie
To bring this house down
Behind closed doors
No one tells the first time round

Pain is worse when
You bring it on yourself
The sweetest bully building
A love that couldn't last

You were ugly when the beat kicked in
And ugly when it left
And ugly all the way,
I didn't see it till the end

I feel nothing
When you cry
I hear nothing
See no need to reply
I can smile now
And turn away
Come over here
So you can see me walk away
And celebrate

After the fall comes love
I hate to hate and I love to love

I feel nothing
When you cry I hear nothing
See no need to reply
I can smile now
And turn away
Come over here
So you can see me walk away
And celebrate


6.Sitting On The Roof Of The World

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongRick Nowels
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongRick Nowels

I climbed a mountain
Not knowing that I had
Thought it was just a road from a to b
I took no protection
Not much of anything
Just went as I was
Looking in windows
And playing songs
And knocking on doors
I was not scared
I just enjoyed the sights
Kept myself to myself

There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was
There I was
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave

Everyone says I was lucky to have got there
As not many can
But truth be told I was saved
By the love
Of a good man
Who came and got me
And brought me down
From on up there
I'd be lying if I didn't say
I missed it now and then
But I have no wish to go back there

There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was
With all the gods
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave

People say
What's so special about being back here
With everyone so close
But that's the point
I don't want to be different
I just want to fit in

There I was
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was
With all the gods
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave

Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave
Not knowing how I got there
Or how to leave


7.Love To Blame

Writer(s):Francesco BoscoloNicola PaccagnellaRollo ArmstrongDido
ArmstrongVera BohlJohn Harrison

Helen of Troy was the kind of girl
Who really had it all
Not a care in the world but her head was turned
And forever changed
She said one love is lost but another is found
So just take the keys and let's just go, birds fly south

Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
It's all about love
So I'm not to blame
I'm not to blame

She said I've dotted my i's and I've crossed my t's
Had time for friends when they needed me
I try to make sense of senseless things
Try to live how I believe
And of course I leave things behind that I'll regret
But there's time enough for new things yet, for new things yet

When the dust covers the sun
And all you hope for is undone
Will you turn and say
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
It was all for love so love is to blame

When the dust covers the sun
And all you hope for is undone
Will you turn and say
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
It was all for love so love is to blame
Love is to blame


8.Go Dreaming

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongRick Nowels
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongRick Nowels

Another summer coming to an end
And I'm still walking on without a care
And even if the birds have flown, the sun has gone
I'll still be here, here

Oh, I want to walk with kings
Oh, and take a chance on things
And though I may give way to those who could cause me pain
And step aside to threats and bullies
I still believe, I still believe

I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something, better than in
me
I'd rather die loving, lost in the feeling of letting go
I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good
I can let it go, I can let it go

They're all flying flags and making noise
Bringing on their speeches drinks and boys
But when they're gone I'll be standing here
And picking up the mess they left
I still believe, I still believe

I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something, better than in
me
I'd rather die loving, lost in the feeling of letting go
I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good
I can let it go, I can let it go...


9.Happy New Year

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongGreg Kurstin
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongGreg Kurstin

I'll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight
Though I know you won't be there
I'll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light
Though I know of course you won't appear

I'll leave the party early after a drink or two
And I'll check my phone for calls
Though I know there will be none from you, from you

I'll walk home with snow falling
Deep on frozen lawns
And I'll leave all those others celebrating
All the things that they have done

I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go
Though I know I won't see you there
And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the
sea
I'll be sitting there alone

As usual, above all things I miss you every day
Without pause
Happy new year my darling, happy new year

I'll walk home with snow falling
Deep on frozen lawns
And I'll leave all those others celebrating
All the things that they have done

Happy new year my darling, happy new year
(And I'll leave)
Happy new year my darling, happy new year
(And I'll leave)
Happy new year my darling, happy new year
(And I'll leave)
Happy new year my darling, happy new year
(And I'll leave...)


10.Loveless Hearts

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong

I can find the good news in anything
But without you, that's all gone
No one could have told me how much I'd miss you
And how soon the world moves on

How can they not hear me
When I say
Oh, we're not safe anymore

Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most

The sun will rise today as it did yesterday
And I'll keep on going too
But every hour that I get through it breaks my heart
That I am losing more of you

Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most


11.Day Before We Went To War

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongBrian Eno
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongBrian Eno

All the pictures on the wall
The sand lying on the floor
The bed upstairs still unmade
The dust float in the light
The people just left
All laughter and mess
Forgetting this and that
And rushing back

The front door open
The music still playing in one room
Down the hall
Towels on the floor
And then it's quiet
Just the bees and birds
The summer haze
Of the trees
And the air
Feeds it all
Feeds it all

We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
We can all feel it

All the parasols and kids at play
The sea so still and calm
Blue as the cloudless sky
Just the gentle hum
Of the summer's goings on
Broken by the sudden rush
Of two planes
Flying low and fast
Into the sun
Into the sun

We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
We can all feel it

We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war

Don't wrap it up and go or hide it behind the sun

And let it stand
Don't fly it like a kite...between the clouds
It needs no excuse, just bring it down

Let us that are in pain look upon it
In all its glory
Let us move on, Let us move on
This is short and it will pass
Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

Every voice that is lifted
River and some pain
Show us now, and let love not be chained
We should feel what we can stop, let us be alive
Show enough, and we've done, now we can

And let all that is lost be forgotten

So let all that is lost be forgotten
Let us move on

Let us move on, Let us move on
For this is short, and in the past
And in the past


13.All I See(feat. Pete Miser)

Lyricist:Dido ArmstrongPete Ho
Writer(s):Dido ArmstrongPete Ho

And I carry you with me
You're all I see
And I carry you with me

Thought it was safe to assume once I locked up the room
That I'd be gone for good but I would be back soon
Memories burned out still I'm smelling the fumes
Melodies turned down still I'm singing the tunes
Like a witch on a broom I wish I could fly fly away
Disappear into the earth and find a hideaway
Let the memories invade when I lie awake
Can't hide from yourself that's what I'm trying to say
And by the way what would I be without my past
Only find the right number when I doubt my math
Avoid others only after I recall my last
Set backs that don't kill me just amount to last
Anyway if I could turn back the hands of time
Would I change the events or change my mind?
Wouldn't recognize myself without my doubts and fears
Got a feeling all I need is all right here

You're all I see
And I carry you with me
You're all I see
And I carry you with me

I've been told apples don't fall far from the tree
I hope they're wrong when they're talking about me
All I see other ruins of a man I'm wrong


14.Just Say Yes

Lyricist:Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongLester Mendez
Writer(s):Rollo ArmstrongDido ArmstrongLester Mendez

If by chance, I saw you at first
First time there, there on the dance floor
I would put, my coat back down
I'd head for the door and I'd ask your name
Just because, you've been there before
And been burnt, don't walk away

Well just say yes, why say no,
When you can say yes and just come home?
Just come here, don't step away
Don't stop there, when you can be here
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it's OK

Even if, you think you should walk
Before you can run and falling is wrong
Even if, if you believe
Fate conspires against you again

Well just say yes, why say no,
You can say yes and just come home
Just come here, why step away?
Don't stop there, when you can be here
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it's OK

You should clear a space in your head
Kick out the lame, the lost and the dead
And who will know you and you
Are just bones and who,
Will care how beautiful you are

Well just say yes, why say no,
You can say yes and just come home
Just come here, why step away?
Don't stop there, when you can be here
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it's OK
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it's OK


15.Let's Runaway

Lyricist:Dido ArmstrongGreg Kurstin
Writer(s):Dido ArmstrongGreg Kurstin

As I fall I'm walking in the dark
I don't know what's below
Or what's above

But it doesn't matter now
Don't look back
Don't look back

Let's run away
Then tomorrow won't be the same
Let's go away
Then today won't feel the same

And don't look up
And don't look left or right
And trust me now and we'll be fine

I'll take your fear and
Send it out to see


16.Everything To Lose(Armin Van Buuren Remix)( - )

Lyricist:Ayalah BentovimRollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong
Writer(s):Ayalah BentovimRollo ArmstrongDido Armstrong

Mhhhhhhmmmhhhhhmmmhhhmmm

I used to be so fearless so limitless and free
Happy on my own and nothing really bothered me.
I had desires to see the world, jump out of planes and fly
And I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

I used to be so sure of things and self-contained
I could carry on with no need to explain
It didn't matter if I ever made it home
Could go too fast, and drink all night and dance alone

Mhhhhhmmmhhhhmmmmm

I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die
I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

Whooooooaaaaaoooaaaa

I've got everything to lose

I used to be so thoughtless, so easy and free
Could walk away, not think ahead, and had no plans to keep.
No hand to told, no one to bring down with me.
I wouldn't see the worst and it only hurts me.

I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

Whoooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've got everything to lose

Whoooooaaaaaahhhhhhh

Since I've met you

I've got everything to lose

Mhhhhhhmmmhhhhhmmmmhhhmm

I've got everything to lose

Whooooooahhhhhhhhhh

Since I've met you
I've got everything to lose
Whooooooooaaaaahhhhhhh

I've got everything to lose


17.Lost

Lyricist:Dido ArmstrongMatt ChamberlainJon Brion
Writer(s):Dido ArmstrongMatt ChamberlainJon Brion

I walked down and see path
My shadows fall behind
And rest beneath a tree
Somewhere for me

And lost where I belong
Lost , where I've gone
And lost is my new home
Lost , where I belong

And usually darkness gets to me
This place is mine
And know I dare won't let me to
More piece and hold

Just in blue she takes me through
No doubt for me
To follow right behind the sun
It's blinding and I can't see

And lost where I belong
Lost , where I've gone
