Ellie Goulding Halcyon Lyrics
1.Don't Say A Word

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim Eliot
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim Eliot

If you'd never said anything
If you'd never said anything
If you never, If you never
If you never, If you'd never said anything

If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never

Here it is in my hands
In my veins, and overlands
It spreads like fire, seeking air
To pull me in, my own funfair
Won't you come, won't you come
Won't you come, just don't say a word
Won't you come, won't you come
Won't you come, just don't say a word

If you never, if you never
Just don't say a word
If you never, if you never
Just don't say a word

I'm more alive I've ever been
So now I give you all my sins
I've chosen you, I've chosen you
But don't say a word

And if I save us, and I fall down
I will leave your words behind now
If you never, held me under, if you never hear my thunder

If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Ohhhh
If you never, if you never
Just don't say a word


2.My Blood

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim EliotMima Stilwell
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim EliotMima Stilwell

That feeling that doesn't go away just did
And I walked a thousand miles to prove it
And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts
The color of my blood is all I see on the rocks
As you sail from me

Alarms will ring for eternity
The waves will break every chain on me
My bones will bleach
My flesh will flee
So help my lifeless frame to breathe

And God knows I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

The lost dreams are buried in my sleep for him
And this was the ecstacy of a love forgotten
And I'm thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets
And my blood is all I see
As you steal my soul from me

Alarms will ring for eternity
The waves will break every chain on me

And God knows I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

And God knows I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

And God knows I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew


3.Anything Could Happen

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim Eliot
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim Eliot

Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over

Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could

After the war we said we'd fight together
I guess we thought that's just what humans do
Letting darkness grow
As if we need its palette and we need its colour
But now I've seen it through
And now I know the truth

That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could

Baby, I'll give you everything you need
I'll give you everything you need, oh
I'll give you everything you need
But I don't think I need you

Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over

Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could

I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
I know it's gonna be
Oh, whoa

But I don't think I need you
But I don't think I need you
But I don't think I need you


4.Only You

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim Eliot
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim Eliot

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you

Only you can see the emptiness I feel
When you're with me
When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees

When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you
Only you
Only you

Only you can see the emptiness I feel
When you're with me
When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees

When everything you say I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Baby I'm on my knees
Only you

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you

Only you...

Only you can be the aching in my heart
My enemy, the only animal I couldn't fight
You hold me in the dark when storms arrive
Only you


5.Halcyon

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim Eliot
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim Eliot

I know it's not over, baby I worked this out for sure
It's gonna be colder, now you've forced open the door
I know you better than I ever have before
I know you

I know you're a fighter
But you never fought for me when I was a shelter
So you're not heading home to me

We could be closer, we could be closer
We could be

When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

It's gonna be, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better

We'll take a long walk, down the alleys of these houses
And we'll talk, see what conversation rouses when we're alone,
when we're alone, it could be home

When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

It's gonna be, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better, it's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better


6.Figure 8

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJonny LattimerRufio SandilandsRocky Morris
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJonny LattimerRufio SandilandsRocky Morris

Breathe your smoke into my lungs,
In the back of a car with you I stare into the sun,
Still not too old to die young,
The lovers hold on to everything, and others holds on to
anything

I chased your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day, and then you take it all away,
and then you take it all away

Place a kiss on my cheekbone,
Then you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow,
But something tells me I'm not alone,
But lovers hold on to everything, and others hold on to anything

I chased your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day, and then you take it all away,
and then you take it all away

So lovers hold on to everything, and lovers hold on to anything,
So lovers hold on to everything, and lovers hold on to anything

I chased your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day, and then you take it all away,
I chased your love around a figure 8,
I need you more than I can take,
You promise forever and a day, and then you take it all away,
and then you take it all away


7.Joy

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim Eliot
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim Eliot

Stood in the rain and watched you go
I feel a lump in my throat
And this is far from joy

I never seemed to learn
That high makes things harder
That high I get from you

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

I think of dying all the time
But I've got joy to take my side
Fear is my favorite ride ooh hey hoh

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart

And then you see, oooh

I've figured out that joy is not in your arms
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars
I'm seeing stars watch me fall apart


8.Hanging On(Edit)

Lyricist:Patrick James GrossiAriel Rechtshaid
Writer(s):Patrick James GrossiAriel Rechtshaid

You know we can get away
Because I'm calling your name
Every day I feel this pain
But you just turn and walk away

I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong, with you and me

Touch me and then turn away
And put your hands into the flame
Tell me if you feel this pain
Cause I don't want to be a ball and chain, nooo

I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong

Give me the respect, forgive me and forget
We've got to get a grip, living on the edge
I barely even know this fucking woman in my bed
And if there's too much on my plate, then I ain't finishing my
veg
And if anybody said the grass is greener on the other side
Well it ain't, swear on my mother's life
You got me wrapped up in your shit
I'm feeling mummified
I've only ever had this fucking feeling in my stomach twice
You gave me what I needed, and I gave her everything she wanted
Miss something 'bout your cleavage
Now why can't put my fingers on it
You're taking me the deepest
I thought that she was coming for me
If all women are from venus, then I guess I really got a rocket
You've got a noose around my neck, but I'm still hanging on
We've nearly reached the finish line up in our marathon
I spat a verse, she sang a song
She broke my heart, I took some Gaviscon

I just can't keep hanging on to you and me, with you, with me
With you, with..


9.Explosions

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJohn Fortis
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJohn Fortis

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost
And I gave in
I lack the things you need the most, you said where have you
been
You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide
I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into
But you never tried
I've fallen from grace
Took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost
I've loved and I've lost

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same

You left my soul bleeding in the dark
So you could be king
The rules you set are still untold to me and I lost my faith in
everything
The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

And as the floods move in
And your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind
I know you better than you think
'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion
I pray that you will find peace of mind
And I'll find you another time
I'll love you, another time

Explosions...on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same


10.I Know You Care

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJustin Parker
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJustin Parker

Clinging to me
Like a last breath you would breathe
You were like home to me
I don't recognize the street

Please don't close your eyes
Don't know where to look without them
Outside the cars speed by
I never heard them until now

I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it

Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
And I know you care

I used to run down the stairs
To the door and I thought you were there
Do you shape through the comfort of us
Two lovers loved out of love

Oh, but I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it

Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin

And know it wasn't always wrong
But I've never known a winter so cold
Now I don't warm my hands in your coat
But I still hope

'Cause this is how things ought to have been
And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed
Why can't I dream
Why can't I dream

'Cause I know you care
And I know you care
I know you care
I know you care
I know it's always been there


11.Atlantis

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingJim Eliot
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingJim Eliot

This is new
Feels unused
I've never met anyone like you

Frightening
Feeling naked
Sense in searching something sacred

I'll forget you not
I'll forget you not
I'll forget you not
I'll wait for you... maybe

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

I'm exhausted with loving
No fight in me- I'm defeated
I know I'm fooled, I can't help it
You make my heart so helpless

I'll forget you not
I'll forget you not
I'll wait for you... for you... maybe
I'll forget you not... I'll forget you not
I'll wait for you maybe

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?


12.Dead In The Water

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingFin Dow-Smith
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingFin Dow-Smith

If I was not myself
And you were someone else
I'd say so much to you
And I would tell the truth
'Cause I can hardly breathe

When your hands let go of me
The ice is thinning out
And my feet brace themselves

I'm there in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm there in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

You've seen this all before
Life left on the shore
We're smiling all the same
You sail away again

I'm there in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm there in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

Oh yeah
I'm dead in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?

I'm dead in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?


13.I Need Your Love

Lyricist:Calvin HarrisEllie Goulding
Writer(s):Calvin HarrisEllie Goulding

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

I need your love

I take a deep breath every time I pass your door
I know you're there but I can't see you anymore
And that's the reason you're in the dark
I've been a stranger ever since we fell apart
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

I need your love

Now I'm dreaming, will ever find you now?
I walk in circles but I'll never figure out
What I mean to you, do I belong
I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

I need your love

All the years
All the times
You were never been to blame
And now my eyes are open
And now my heart is closing
And all the tears
All the lies
All the waste
I've been trying to make it change
And now my eyes are open

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free


14.Lights(Single Version)

Lyricist:Ellie GouldingRichard StannardAsh Howes
Writer(s):Ellie GouldingRichard StannardAsh Howes

I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
