Ready for the Weekend (High Contrast Remix) - Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding

She said 'Meet me at the gates at eight 'Leave now, don't be late' She said one day she'd walk away 'Cause I was always late Thought things were okay Didn't care though anyway Say 'Sorry, babe, I had to meet a mate' Tempting fate We first met through a shared view She loved me and I did too It's now seven-fifty Getting ready, better be nifty Do my hair quickly Step out, it's cloudy Mate bells me to borrow money I've got two henrys and a dealer to pay Call up on geezers to rid these green trees From my reeking jeans Got a You-Think-I-Care air Out glaring geezers' stares I'm here and I'm there Couldn't see past the end of my beer What was getting near All of the silence after the tears I didn't know it was over Till it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there? She said 'Meet me at the gates, don't be late' But pretty soon the day came for change And I was glad she never walked away So I'm choosing what to wear Doing my hair with an hour to spare When my life went pear She'd been there with a fixed stare Big wheel climbed to the top Geezers' stares bounced off Standing at the top of this huge mountain Smiling and shouting Spring flowers sprouting Not one inch of doubt in my mind As I reached the gates Came around the corner at a rate Risked her love But I was gonna set things straight Never again am I gonna be late (x3) I didn't know it was over Till it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there? I said meet me at the gates Leave now, don't be late I waited for a while Listening to her voicemail Mind set sail Then the facts turned me pale Wind, rain, hail My fears unveiled for my fair female She'd walked away Too little to late I step up the pace Walk past the gate Rain runs over my face Spirit falls from grace I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place In the Chase, I sat down, got a fat frown Weeping and drown in my senses For this love game's expensive I walk in a trance Got a wounded soldier stance And the everyday geezers' stares throw me off balance Now nothing holds significance And nothing holds relevance Cause the only thing I can see is her elegance I didn't know it was over Till it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there? I didn't know it was over Till it was too late, too late But if I ever needed you Would you be there?

Counterfeit, counterfeit That's what you're shouting at me I could run, but I'd sooner have this And I make her bleed Lick the blood stain from your finger Say, what do you see? Remind you that whatever you get is What you want it to be You get a feeling, that's what you choose And I was told there was not a minute to lose So if you're waiting, jump out your skin To find a cure for whatever state you're in I tell my good friends, get out the way Of all the lightning hitting the trees today We get a thrill from clapping our hands We find the nearest girl and ask her to dance I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend Weekend, weekend, weekend Coming back, coming back To a place where I never knew Pushing knobs, pushing faders But I don't know what they do This reflection in my mirror Reminds me of you When I tilt it towards the sunlight You fall out of view You get a feeling, that's what you choose And I was told there was not a minute to lose So if you're waiting, jump out your skin To find a cure for whatever state you're in I tell my good friends, get out the way Of all the lightning hitting the trees today We get a thrill from clapping our hands We find the nearest girl and ask her to dance I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend Weekend, weekend, weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend Weekend, weekend, weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend Weekend, weekend, weekend I put on my shoes, and I'm ready for the weekend Weekend, weekend, weekend

I'm coming 'round And now my vision is so clear If I could change my state of mind Then I would disappear The love I get from you Is something I can't change And I could let you slip away Without a second glance Why can't I realize I'm fighting for my life? Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Why can't I realize I'm fighting for my life? Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh This is like a flashback (flashback, flashback) This is like a dream (dream, dream) This is like all the things you can fit Inside a memory (memory) This is like a flashback (flashback, flashback) This is like a dream (dream, dream) This is like all the things you can fit Inside a memory (memory) This is like a flashback (flashback, flashback) Flashback (flashback, flashback) This is like a flashback (flashback, flashback) Flashback (why, why, why, why, why, why) Why can't I realize I'm fighting for my life? Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Why can't I realize I'm fighting for my life?
