[Verse 1]
Crashing waves, misbehaved
Paradise, so ashamed
Chandelier, drink my fears
Mansion house, disappear, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Slow it down and take a breath
Woke up with pain in my chest (Woah)
Now I'm floating, what's that stress
'Cause I can go anywhere, I can go anywhere

[Chorus]
Go out at night when I feel a little broken
I'm so afraid, need to move a little slower
It hurts to talk, so I pull somebody closer
I tell myself that the party's never over

[Post-Chorus]
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky, in the sky
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky, in the sky

[Verse 2]
Crowded room, bodies move
Eyes roll back, come up soon
Chandelier, looks like tears
Wash me out, disappear, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Slow it down and take a breath
Woke up with pain in my chest, woah
Now I'm floating, what's that stress
'Cause I can go anywhere, I can go anywhere

[Chorus]
Go out at night when I feel a little broken
I'm so afraid, need to move a little slower
It hurts to talk, so I pull somebody closer
I tell myself that the party's never over

[Post-Chorus]
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky, in the sky
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky
So I throw my hands, so I throw my hands up in the sky, in the sky

Charli XCX

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.
