Our Vision Of Events

Emeli Sande Our Vision Of Events Lyrics
1.Heaven

Will you recognize me in those flashing lights?
I try to keep my heart clean, but I can't get it right
Will you recognize me, when I'm lying on my back
Somethings gone inside me, and I can't get it back

Chorus:
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone!
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone

Will you recognize me, when I'm stealing from the poor
You're not gonna like me, I'm nothing like before
Will you recognize me, when I lose another friend?
Will you learn to leave me, or give me one more try again

Chorus:
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone!
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,
You say that you're away, I try but always break
cause the day always lasts too long
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone, then I'm gone , then I'm gone


2.My Kind Of Love

I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try
Sometimes the truth won't make you happy
So I'm not gonna lie
But don't ever question that my heart beat only for you
It beats only for you

I know I'm far from perfect
Nothing like your entourage
I can't grant you any wishes
I can't promise you the stars
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you

Cause when you give it up
No mater what you do it's never good enough
When you never thought
That it could ever get this though
That's when you feel my kind of love

And when you're high enough
When you fall and then can't lift
You're heavy on the ground
When the friends you thought you had
Haven't stuck around
That' when you feel my kind of love

You won't see me at the parties
I guess I'm just no fun
I won't be turning up the radio
Singing baby you're the one
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you


I know sometimes I get angry and I ay what I don't mean
I know I keep my heart protected far away from my sleeve
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you

Cause when you give it up
No mater what you do it's never good enough
When you never thought
That it could ever get this though
That's when you feel my kind of love

And when you're high enough
When you fall and then can't lift
You're heavy on the ground
When the friends you thought you had
Haven't stuck around
That's when you feel my kind of love

And when you give it up
And no matter what you do is never good enough
When you never thought that it cold ever get this though
That's when you feel my kind of love

And when you're high enough
When you fall and then can't lift
You're heavy on the ground
When the friends you thought you had
Haven't tuck around
That's when you feel my kind of love

And when you're high enough
When you're fallen and then can't lift
You're heavy on the ground
When the friends you thought you had
Haven't stuck around
That's when you feel my kind of love


3.Where I Sleep

There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow,
there's nothing that I won't do for your kiss,
I'll love you like there's no tomorrow,
Cause nothing never felt like this

There's nothing I won't steal or borrow,
I'll travel on a boat or an aeroplane.
I'll explore a world of sorrow,
Cause when I find you I know, I know I'm a be okay

See the times are changing,
and I'm sure of nothing, that I know
Except this is us, and this is love,
and this is where I'm home

In a world that's breaking,
where nothing is for keeps,
Oh, this is us, this is love,
and this is where I sleep
this is us, this is love,
and this is where I sleep

I'm from a generation undecided
I'm restless and I can't help changing things
But in all the noise and the excitement,
your love is all that will remain

I said all of my goodbyes to ego
I gambled all I got, there's no plan B
It's the first time that I've learned to let go
It's the only place I feel, only place I feel like me
Hey yeah
See the times are changing,
and I'm sure of nothing, that I know
Except this is us, and this is love,
and this is where I'm home

In a world that's breaking,
where nothing is for keeps,
Oh, this is us, this is love,
and this is where I sleep
this is us, this is love,
and this is where I sleep


4.Mountains

He said I'm going to have a bed with lots of pillows
And that we're going to build a house with lots of windows
And when we have the kids we'll tell them to remind we
Of where we were and how so we never get lazy

Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together

Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together


I'd never work these hours if I didn't love you

My hands are always red and sunshine I sleep through

If you say we're going to move somewhere with neighbours less
crazy

You know I'm going to be there, because I trust my baby


Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together


Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together


I keep my fingers crossed that we're going to be able

I touch the wood for luck, on our broken table

I know that it's our heart that's going to save us

If we never come back how can they blame us?


Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together

Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together


Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together

Yeah we'll climb mountains

Climb mountains together


5.Clown

I guess it's funnier from where your standing
Coz from over here I miss the joke
Clear the way for my crash landing
I've done it again
Another number for your notes

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out
How I can move from the back of a lie


So I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
Coz it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circus
I'm selling out tonight

I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition
I'll have time for 'please'
I'll have time for 'thank you's
As soon as I win


From a distance my choice is simple
From a distance I can entertain
So you can see me
I put make-up on my face
But there's no way you can feel it
From so far away


6.Daddy(feat. Naughty Boy)

He's out your system yeah it too you a while
You got your family back and you got your smile
And you promised your sister that you'd never go back again

But friends keep telling you what he did last night
How many girls he kissed how many he liked

And you try to remember that there's no way you could ever be
friends


But now you're

You're looking like you really like him like him

And now you're feeling like you miss him miss him

You're speaking like you really love him love him

And now you're dancing like you need him need him


(Chorus)

Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave you

It will be the one you run to the one that saves you

It can be your daddy daddy if you take it gladly gladly

Yeah

Daddy Daddy


He kissed you on the lips and opened your eyes

You had to catch your breath got such a surprise

And you always forgot how it feels to live in his lies


He pulled you closer said he'll never let go


You couldn't trust him but you never said no

In that moment he made you forgot how it feels when he's gone


But now you're

You're looking like you really like him like him

And now you're feeling like you miss him miss him

You're speaking like you really love him love him

And now you're dancing like you need him need him


(Chorus)

Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave you

It will be the one you run to the one that saves you

It can be your daddy daddy if you take it gladly gladly

Yeah

Daddy Daddy


You're looking like you really like him like him

And now you're feeling like you miss him miss him

You're looking like you really love him love him

And now you're dancing like you need him need him


(Chorus) x2

Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave you

It will be the one you run to the one that saves you

It can be your daddy daddy if you take it gladly gladly

Yeah

Daddy Daddy


7.Maybe

When we first moved in together
Couldn't keep hands off each other
No we're lying back to back
And silence in the black

We used to laugh until we cried

You would look at me and smile

Now we hardly say hello

And feelings never show

All the signs seem to say love is lost

I don't wanna give up what we got because...

Chorus:
Maybe you could stay a bit longer

Or I could try a bit harder

We could make it work

But maybe we should stop pretending

We both know we're hurting

Maybe it's time to go

Verse 2:

We broke up last Sunday night

Keep on thinking 'bout the fight

Rest my head against the wall

Your bags are by the door

Then your key turns in the lock


You see me on the stairs and stop

Have you had a change of heart?

Can we go back to the start?

But all the signs seem to say love is lost

I don't wanna give up yet because...

Chorus:


Maybe you could stay a bit longer

I could try a bit harder

We could make this work

But maybe we should stop pretending

We both know we're hurting

Maybe it's time to go

Bridge:

Maybe its time to go (go)

Maybe its time to go (go)

Maybe its time to go

But I just don't know

Chorus:

Maybe you could stay a bit longer

Or I could try a bit harder

We could make it work

But maybe we should stop pretending

We both know we're hurting

Maybe it's time to go


8.Suitcase

Didn't see it coming,
No kind of warning,
I can't work out what i've done wrong.
His clothes are missing,
But his keys still here,
Please somebody tell me whats going on.

My baby's got a suitcase,
Hes telling me its too late,
But don't nobody, please don't ask me why.
Cause all I did was love him,
But I can't stop him walking,
My baby's got a suitcase but please don't ask me why.

What changed so quickly?
Answer me!
If you must kill me then please, please tell me why.
He said 'Don't touch me, Get out the way',
Will someone tell me whats going on tonight.

My baby's got a suitcase,
He's telling me its too late,
But don't nobody, please don't ask me why.
Cause all I did was love him,
But I can't stop him walking,
My baby's got a suitcase but please don't ask me why.

I cant stop my heart leaving through the door.
I cant unpack my heart cause he won't look at me anymore.

My baby's got a suitcase,
He's telling me its too late,
But don't nobody, please don't ask me why.
Cause all I did was love him,
But I can't stop him walking,
My baby's got a suitcase but please don't ask me why.


9.Breaking The Law

When you need to smile
But you can't afford it
Go on point it out
I'm gonna steal it

When the floor is more familiar than the ceiling

I will break in late at night

Shake up how you're feeling


Chorus:


I'll never stop

Breaking the law for you

I'll never stop

Helping to pull you through

Whatever it takes ti get what you need

Ignore the alarm

Ignore the police

I'll never stop

Breaking the law for you


Verse 2:


When you're taking steps
But need to go faster

We can speed through streets
So the shadows can't catch ya

When the corridors and all the stairs are making you tired

I will come for you

Set the building on fire


Chorus:


I'll never stop

Breaking the law for you

I'll never stop

Helping to pull you through

Whatever it takes ti get what you need

Ignore the alarm

Ignore the police

I'll never stop

Breaking the law for you


10.Next To Me

You won't find him drinking at the table
Rolling dice and staying out til 3
You won't ever find him being unfaithful
You will find you will find him next to me
You won't find him trying to change the devil
For money fame power out of grief
You won't ever find him where the rest go
You will find him find him next to me

Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you'll find him next to me

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone's lost their head all around us
You will find him you'll find him next to me
Never in my life have i met someone like him
I'm blown away by his love for me
If you ever wonder where it is you'll find him
You will find him you will find him next to me
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you'll find him next to me

When the moneys spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
Cause I'll find him I'll find him next to me

When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
All i need is a helping hand to stop the tears from
falling
I will find him will find him next to me

Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you'll find him next to me

Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you'll find him next to me


11.River

If you're looking for the big adventure
and gold is all that's on your mind
If all you want's someone to take your picture
then I won't waste your time.

See, maybe I'm too quiet for you
you probably never noticed me
but if you're too big to follow rivers

how you ever gonna find the sea?


Chorus:

so follow me i'll be your river, river
I'll do the running for you
follow me i'll be your river, river
i'll move the mountains for you
follow me, i'll be your river, river
i'm here to keep you floating
follow me
i'll be your river river. River, river, yeah

If all you want are answers to your questions

And you can't seem to find no love for free

If you're looking for the right direction

Then darling, look for me

See, I can make the load much lighter
I just need you to confide in me

but if you're too proud to follow rivers

how you ever gonna find the sea?


Chorus:

so follow me, i'll be your river, river
I'll do the running for you
follow me, i'll be your river, river

I'm here to keep you floating

follow me, I'll be your river, river. River, river, yeah


Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I'll never be hard to find


12.Lifetime

Dreaming only lasts until you wake up and you find you're not
asleep
Silence only sticks around till someone in the room decides to
speak
And luck runs out and hearts go cold
We're only young until we're old
And summer leaves us wondering where it went

The friends you have can disappear
The whole world can change within a year

And money only lasts until it's spent


But you, you
You last a lifetime

You last a lifetime


Truth will change and time will fly

The party lasts until the wine is gone

This time next week the radio will change its mind

And play a different song
We stay in touch till we forget


And beauty fades the kiss will end
And fame will love and leave you just as fast

You'll have it all until it's gone

The books get burnt and statues fall

Sometimes feels like nothing will ever last


But you, you

You last a lifetime

You last a lifetime


Hey love can we dance together?

Since I found you feels like time don't matter

Hey love now I feel much better

You've shown me forever


See you, you

You last a lifetime

You last a lifetime


13.Hope

I hope that the world stops raining
Stops turning it's back on the young
See nobody here is blameless
I hope that we can fix all that we've done
I really hope Martin can see this

I hope that we still have a dream

I'm hoping that change isn't hopless

I'm hoping to start it with me

I just hope I'm not the only one

I just hope I'm not the only one

I hope we start seeing forever

Instead of what we can gain in a day

I hope we start seeing each other

Cause don't we all bleed the same

I really hope someone can hear me

That a child doesn't bear the weight of a gun

I find the voice within me


To scream at the top of my lungs

I just hope I'm not the only one

I just hope I'm not the only one

Louder, I cannot hear you

How can things be better left unsaid

Call me, call me a dreamer

But it seems like dreams are all that we've got left

I hope we still have a heartbeat

I hope we don't turn to snow

A night when you turn the lights off

I hope you don't cry alone

I hope we stop taking for granted

All of the land and all of the sea

I'm taking a chance on loving

I hope that you take it with me

I just hope I'm not the only one

I just hope I'm not the only one

I just hope I'm not the only one
