CHVRCHES - Manhattan lyrics

Lap of light
Cover the way and keep my side
Or steal away from me
And keep a tight lip in secret silence
Eyes like mine
Watching you blow us all to hell
But if you took our lives
There would be no one to tell your story

And how can I make you understand?
Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down," I heard you say
But it's over, and I just can't believe I'm wrong
How can I make you understand?
Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down", I heard you say
But it's over, and I knew it was all along

Wild like time
Why can't you believe or just abide
The way I tell you so?
I stop the day for one simple sideshow
Seasons smile
And we were unable to stay warm
But in the darkest night
There's an ember that's always burning

And how can I make you understand?
Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down," I heard you say
But it's over, and I just can't believe I'm wrong
How can I make you understand?
Lying with you, I held your hand
"Never look down", I heard you say
But it's over, and I knew it was all along
