Reflections Are Protection - La Roux

Leaves

Please be my light-filter

Shine, make me a shelter to hide

'cause love makes you lose your sight

And now the search party’s on its way

And the floodlight’s on my face

All the shadows that I walk in

Are just my volatile second skin

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you’re ready, come into the light

Lines, Design a pathway

Shine, cut out the dark shapes to find

Although I’ve really tried

Only time is a lover’s guide

And now the railings fall away

And the stencils draw a face

Our outlines in the sunset

Are just a fragile silhouette

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you’re ready, come into the light

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

If you leave me, I’ll go back to hide

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you’re ready, come into the light

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

If you leave me, I’ll go back to hide
