[Verse 1]
(Oo-oo-oooh, oo-oo-oooh
Hoo hoo, hoo-oo-oo)
In my left hand
There is the familiar (Hoo)
In my right hand
There's the great unknown (Hoo)
I can see the
Madly different grass there (Hoo)
But I'm drawn to
Wilder nights at home (Hoo)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't listen to your friends
See the despair behind their eyes
Don't listen to your friends
They only care once in a while

[Chorus]
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

[Verse 2]
Are you drifting
Way beyond what's normal? (Hoo)
'Cause 'round your mind rings
The words that they would say (Say, say)
When you go home
Everything looks different (Hoo)
And you're scared of
Being left behind (Hoo)

[Pre-Chorus]
Just listen to your friends
Trust that they're fair, look in their eyes
Just listen to your friends
They only care and hope you're alright

[Chorus]
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

[Interlude]
Back, back, back, back, back...
Oo-oo-oooh, oo-oo-oooh
Hoo hoo, hoo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oooh, oo-oo-oooh
Hoo hoo, hoo-oo-oo

[Chorus]
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me

[Outro]
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me
I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back
It's pulling me back, it's pulling me
I can feel the draw, the draw
The draw, the dra-a-aw

[Segue]
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
