White Lies - Mae Stephens

I love the feeling when we lift off Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window I wonder what keeps us so high up? Could there be a love beneath these wings? If we suddenly fall should I scream out? Or keep very quiet and cling to My mouth as I'm crying? So frightened of dying Relax, yes, I'm trying But fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me I love the quiet of the night time When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from The sense of time catching up with me The sky's set out like a pathway But who decides which route we take? As people drift into a dreamworld I close my eyes as my hands shake And when I see a new day Who's driving this anyway? I picture my own grave 'Cause fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground Will the earth beneath my body shake And cast your sleeping hearts awake? Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies? Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes? I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That's why everything's got to be love or death Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on...

You set me on fire, But I didn't burn Balance on the wire, While the tables turn turn turn It wasn't like candy, To sweet to swallow whole Saw you staring at my panties, tell me your as good as gold

Do you believe it, -lieve it When I say it's you I needed, oh It's like I'm dreaming, dreaming 'Cause you helped me stop the bleeding, yeah Don't wanna be alone tonight Don't think too much, just turn off the lights Back and forth like all of the time Know it's a lot but just don't think twice Where to go? I don't even know Only big white lies to get by 'cause I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh I've been telling you white lies so you would stay I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause I just don't know where to go, I don't even know Only big white lies to get by 'cause I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh I've been telling you white lies so you would stay I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by So you can feel it, feel it There's this crazy thing between us, uh-huh Don't need a reason, reason Where you're at, I wanna be there, uh-huh Don't wanna be alone tonight Don't think too much, just turn off the lights Back and forth like all of the time Know it's a lot but just don't think twice Where to go? I don't even know Only big white lies to get by 'cause I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh I've been telling you white lies so you would stay I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by I just don't know where to go, I don't even know Only big white lies to get by 'cause I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by 'cause Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh I've been telling you white lies so you would stay I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side Only big white lies to get by

There's a heart on the line, And it rests With your eyes Please don't fade and please don't cry, 'Cause it's all white lies Take a chance watch it fall, Grab too much And lose it all Now I've lost my disguise, It was all white lies Stay here, Lie with me here, Oh lo-fi Lonely sighs I will roam Lost but never alone, Hide with me Hide... Would it help if I tried, Or has it sailed And passed me by First love grows and then it dies, And it's all white lies Stay here, Lie here with me, Oh lo-fi, Lonely sighs I will roam Lost but never alone, Hide with me, Hide with me Now you move with the tide And I've heard you've found peace of mind And now I know that life's design Moves around white lies White lies, white lies, white lies

Tomorrow im gonna wake up wondering why the hell i did this. Tomorrow im gonna make up stories bout how somebody spiked my drink. Tomorrow when the rumers fly, im gonna build me an alibi. Tomorrow when the stories spred, i'll be wishing we were still in bed. Just hold me for the moment, when the morning comes we'll figure where to go then. People are gonna talk, you know them. Dont have to stay together just to show them. We know they're gonna say we're wild, but we remember what we did and smile. Who cares what tomorrow will bring, baby im putting every thing, In tonight, i wanna lay right here beside you Tonight, i wanna put my arms arround you and hold you tight. Cause baby all that really matters is tonigt, Baby all that really matters is tonight. I see lovers shaderd, bruced and broked and better. For better, or for worse. some people olny get the letter. I see people making alibies, they hurt eachother with their lies. But tomorrow when we walk away, there'll be nothing left to say. Tomorrow for sertain, we know that this would have to end, When we drop the curtains at least we know we're gonna still be friends And maybe is the time is right, or some other lonely night. We'll remember all the passion we had, remember what we needed so bad. Tonight i wanna lay right here beside you Tonight i wanna put my arms arround you and hold you tight Cause baby all that really matters is tonight Baby all that really matters is tonight. Tomorrow who knows where we'll be, im taking this time just for me. I throwing -- the wind, im giving up every little thing I dont know what the future holds, maybe we take seperat roades Tomorrow tomorrow But tonight i wanna lay right here beside you Tonight, i wanna put my arms arround you and hold you tight. Cause baby all that really matters is tonigt, baby all that really matters is tonight.
