Florence & The Machine - Delilah (The Odyssey - Chapter 6) lyrics
rate me(Intro)
You think you have lost your faith
But you have not
You have only misplaced your faith
And you can't find it where it lies now
Deep in your soul
And the way to do that
Is through the simple process of love
Love yourself, forgive yourself
You can't love and forgive other people
If you don't first of all love and forgive yourself
You have to realize that people are fallible beings
They make mistakes, they have to be excused from these mistakes
And allowed to continue on in this quest for a better life
And for goodness
So love yourself and then love other people
Please forgive yourself
Go on a journey of finding love and forgiveness
Love people even thought ...
(Verse)
Driftin' through the halls with the sunrise
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
Climbin' up the walls fo' that flashin' light
(I can never let go)
Cos' I'm goin' to be free and I'm goin' to be fine
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
Cos' I'm goin' to be free and I'm goin' to be fine
(Maybe not tonight)
Now the sun is up and I'm goin' blind
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
Anotha drink just to pass the time
(I can never say no)
Cos' I'm goin' to be free and I'm goin' to be fine
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
Cos' I'm goin' to be free and I'm goin' to be fine
(Maybe not tonight)
(Chorus)
It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringin' out
And I'm callin' fo' my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinnin' around
Never knew I was a dancer
Till Delilah showed me how
(Interlude)
Too fast fo' freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep draggin' them around
(Verse 2)
Now I'm dancin' with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Took anythin' to cut u, I can find
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
(Can't u let me know?)
Now it's one more boy and it's one more lie
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
Takin' the pills just to pass the time
(I can never say no)
Cos' I'm goin' to be free and I'm goin' to be fine
(Holding on fo' ur call)
Cos' I'm goin' to be free and I'm goin' to be fine
But maybe not tonight
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Now I'm dancin' with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Took anythin' to cut u, I can find
(Holdin' on fo' ur call)
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
(Can't u let me know?)
(Bridge)
Strung up, strung out fo' ur luv
Hangin', hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and ringin' out
Why can't u let me know?
Strung up, strung out fo' ur luv
Hangin', hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and ringin' out
Why can't u let me know?
(Chorus)
(Outro)
Too fast fo' freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep draggin' them around
Too fast fo' freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep draggin' them around
