[Intro]
"Oh my God, Harry"

[Verse 1]
Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know I made your eyes burn
I was like James Dean, for sure
I'm so fresh to death and sick as ca-ca-cancer
I was sorta punk rock, you grew up on hip hop
I fit you better than your favorite sweater
You know that love is mean, love hurts
You still remember that day we met in December, oh baby

[Chorus]
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, say you'll remember
Baby oh
I will love you 'til the end of time

[Verse 2]
Big dreams, gangster
Said I had to leave to start my life over
You were like: "No please, stay here"
We don't need no money we can make it all work
But I headed out on Sunday, said I'd come home Monday
You stayed up waitin', anticipatin', and pacin'
But I was chasing paper
"Caught up in the game" that was the last you heard
Oh baby

[Chorus]
I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, say you'll remember
Baby oh
I will love you 'til the end of time

[Outro]
I will love you 'til the end of time
(You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve)
I would wait a million years
(And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground)
Baby can you see through the tears?
(You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve)
Baby oh
(And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground)

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.
