Everything I Live For - La Roux

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

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 want

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 fight

Oh, plant the seed, don’t trip on it

Can you really get a grip on it?

Take your time

When you run it till it fills, overflows and spills then you learn

Oh, then you learn

When someone irritates my thrills and bends me back until I return

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

And I think it’s turning out alright

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 want to see

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 fight

So plant the seed, don’t trip on it

Can you really get a grip on it?

Take your time

If you really think you’re innocent then learn how to fly

If you really think you’re givin' 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 givin' some, reach out and touch the sky

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
