Floodlights - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Your mother didn't let me go up to your room

The night we kissed for the first time

Your walls were painted different shades of blue

You told me I was your first time

Said you never wanted to be like your father

Wearing neckties, coming home at night with the hard grey in his dark green eyes

Baby, we don't know where we ended up

You promised me that we'd leave this place that very night

So baby don't you run away from here without me

I swore on my grave that I'd take your word if you lie every time you speak

'Cause we've been coming home late since the day we started

Let's never go home tonight

'Cause baby they'll be looking for us for days

And we'll be running from the floodlights

Hold my hand and lead me down the stairs

Take the first train out of the city

Feel that aching to get lost from here

As long as you're longing with me

Said I'll never miss being her perfect daughter

Said goodbye after our first night, take me far away from the light

Baby, we're all messed up we found this light

I promise that this is your mistake, it won't be mine

So baby don't you run away from here without me

I swore on my grave that I'd take your word if you lie every time you speak

'Cause we've been coming home late since the day we started

Let's never go home tonight

'Cause baby they'll be looking for us for days

And we'll be running from the floodlights

Baby don't wake up and be so unsure of it all

Just take my hand and take the fall (fall)

Baby don't tell me you think we got it all wrong

'Cause you're the dark that I've been trying to find

The only place that I can't hide

Stay so they can say that we're both gone

Baby don't you run away from here without me

I swore on my grave that I'd take your word if you lie every time you speak

'Cause we've been coming home late since the day we started

Let's never go home tonight

'Cause baby they'll be looking for us for days

And we'll be running from the floodlights
