[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I know it's been a week, I know it's not been long
But I'm already past the point of no return
I've got you on a loop, I've got you in my head
A chemical reaction, a flashback to your bed

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting for your call
I can feel my body shaking
Calm before the storm
Let it take me, I embrace it

[Chorus]
You stirred somethin' in me
I admit defeat
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight, but

[Post-Chorus]
You, oh, oh
Anything at all, but
You, oh, oh
Anything at all, but ya

[Verse 2]
So tell me when you're out
And tell me where to go
Of course, you have my body
But now you've got my soul
You drive me to distraction, run me off the road
You crash into my mind, I'm ready to explode

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting for your call
I can feel my body shaking
Calm before the storm
Let it take me, I embrace it

[Chorus]
You stirred somethin' in me
I admit defeat
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight, so
Wrap yourself 'round me
I admit defeat
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight but

[Post-Chorus]
You, oh, oh
Anything at all, but
You, oh, oh
Anything at all, 'cause

[Bridge]
You're the only voice in my head
I can hear you speaking, louder than I'm thinking
Hang on every word that you said
Drive me to distraction, drive me to distraction
You're the only voice in my head
I can hear you speaking, louder than I'm thinking
Hang on every word that you said
Drive me to distraction, drive me to distraction

[Chorus]
You stirred somethin' in me
I admit defeat
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight, so
Wrap yourself 'round me
I admit defeat
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight but

[Post-Chorus]
You, oh, oh
Anything at all, but
You, oh, oh
Anything at all, but

[Outro]
Anything at all, but
Anything at all, but you
Anything at all, but you

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.
