about
This track was originally composed and performed by La Roux. I then discovered a cover by London Grammar (which I am completely bananas for) and thought I'd add my touch to it. It's not what I usually do, but people who know my songs well will know where to recognize me. I really hope you like it!
lyrics
We can fight our desires
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
And what are feelings without emotions?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(x2)
I hang my hopes out on the line
Will they be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge cross the ocean?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

La Roux, obviously, for composing the original.
London Grammar, for interpreting it ever so amazingly.
