[Verse 1]
I'll show you all of the places I'm dreaming of
I'll take you to the ocean, I'll bring the sun
We are seventeen, we have just begun
I have love to fight for and then some
But you are the one
The one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one

[Verse 2]
Wake up in the morning, we're paralyzed
We'll fly into the garden like butterflies
There will be no blood and there'll be no pain
I want to fall in love with you again
Again again again again again again again again again

[Chorus]
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defenses
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal

[Verse 3]
I'll tie you in my arms, I will smother you
We'll tell each other lies like we tell the truth
I'll colour in the sky and I'll colour you
I want to draw on your skin again
Again again again again again again again again

[Chorus]
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defenses
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal

[Bridge]
We will run away from danger
We will run away

[Chorus]
You have stolen all my senses
There's a fever in my heart
And you are taking my defenses
You are pulling me apart
Forever we're young and we are dying
And we will be spilling all our blood
So I will take away my feelings
I will be an animal
An animal
An animal

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
