[Verse 1]
I took a look into your ocean heart
And ever since, I stumble through the dark
I'm like a moth attracted to a flame
'Cause since we've met, you know, I'll never be the same
(Oohh-ohh)

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm like a tiger but in black and blue
'Cause all my bruises wanna [?] for you
I wonder if you'll ever know my name
I wonder if we'll ever ever meet again

[Chorus]
What if I see you alone on the pavement?
Will my heart freeze? Will the sun melt down my bones?
'Cause when I think of you my fingers are quicksand
I want to hold you close
I'll never know
1 2 3, oh!

[Verse 3]
I'm searching deserts and the morning skies
Just to stare into your diamond eyes
I'll build a rocket and I'll fly to space
Just so that I can touch your picture perfect face
Oh, your picture perfect face, oh

[Verse 4]
I wonder if you'll do the same for me
Or would you stay there and just let me be?
And all my blood will drip the color of gold
'Cause that's the love that runs for you within my soul

[Chorus]
But what if I see you alone on the pavement?
Will my heart freeze? Will the sun melt down my bones?
'Cause when I think of you my fingers are quicksand
I want to hold you close
I'll never know
But what if I see you alone on the pavement?
Will my heart freeze? Will the sun melt down my bones?
'Cause when I think of you my fingers are quicksand
I want to hold you close
I'll never know
When if I see you alone on the pavement?
Will my heart freeze? Will the sun melt down my bones?
And when I think of you my fingers are quicksand
I want to hold you close
I'll never know
1 2 3, oh!

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
