Between Two Lungs by Florence and The Machine


Between two lungs it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward

'Cause it was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could feel it fly
Each breath screaming, "We are all too young to die"

Between two lungs it was released,
the breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
It slipped from your mouth into mine and crept.
Between two lungs it was released,
the breath that passed from you to me
It flew between us as we slept
It slipped from your mouth into mine and crept.

'Cause it was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

Gone! All the days of begging--the days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head to toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips.
As I gasp - Gasp!



Rabbit heart ( raise it up)

The looking glass so shiny and new
How quickly the glamor fades
I start spinning slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take (Raise it up)
You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough
(Raise it up raise it up)
It's not enough
(Raise it up raise it up)

Here I am a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I´ve made the final sacrifice

We raise it up this offering
We raise it up

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight

I look around but I can't find you
(Raise it up)
If only I could see your face
(Raise it up)
Instead of rushing towards the skyline
(Raise it up)
I wish that I could just be brave

I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice

We raise it up this offering
We raise it up

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight

Raise it up raise it up
(Repeat)

And in the spring I she'd my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
(Repeat)
