La Roux
Everything I Live For
[Verse 1]
Oh, a warning light is shining, saying I would not be saved
I'm sick of hiding, face it, you and I don't walk the same
When a certain man started spinning lies, it started to rain
Now I see it, I am clearly terrified of modern-day

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, lately there's something in the atmosphere
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear
Taking me places I don't wanna be
Showing me things that I don't wanna see
Lately, there's something in the atmosphere
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear
Taking me places I don't wanna be
Showing me things that I don't wanna see

[Chorus]
Now I'm really feeling different
Oh, can't you see, you've done it this time?
It's everything I live for
Smell the fear and spot the signs
Those fantasies of better times
That prophecy that makes you learn
It's hard to find
Oh, plant the seed, don't trip on it
Can you really get a grip on it?
Take your time
[Verse 2]
When you run it 'til it fills, overflows and spills
Then you know, oh, then you learn
When someone irritates my thrills and bends me back
Until I return, oh, will I return?
It depends if I find out if we're going back again
It's the same thing as lying
‘Cause I'm trying to be that woman now (Do do-do do-do do do do, do do-do do-do do do do)
And I think it's turning out alright (Do do-do do-do do do do, do do-do do-do do do do)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, lately there's something in the atmosphere (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Taking me places I don't wanna be (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Showing me things that I don't wanna see (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Lately, there's something in the atmosphere (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Telling me things that I don't wanna hear (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Taking me places I don't wanna be (Do do-do do-do do do do)
Showing me things that I don't wanna see (Do do-do do-do do do do)

[Chorus]
Now I'm really feeling different
Oh, can't you see, you've done it this time?
It's everything I live for
Smell the fear and spot the signs
Those fantasies of better times
That prophecy that makes you learn
It's hard to find
So, plant the seed, don't trip on it
Can you really get a grip on it?
Take your time
[Bridge]
If you really think you're innocent
Then learn how to fly
If you really think you're giving some
Reach out and touch the sky
If you really think you're innocent
Then learn how to fly
If you really think you're giving some
Reach out and touch the sky

[Outro]
I'd rather say it now, before it comes 'round again
I'd rather say it now, I'll turn around and count to ten
