[Verse 1]
You wake up, I know it's time to go
With a spinning head, I lie and watch you smoke
Chase the hands on my watch and hold you close
This misery is weightless as a stone

[Pre-Hook]
Have you lost the same things I have lost?
Do you know that panic I know?
And would I see the terror in your face?
Do you know that fever I know?

[Hook]
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill
In our hearts without chains
If time was still
We'd have no fear
Or scars to heal
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains

[Verse 2]
You left everything behind except yourself
All I see is question marks and nothing else
You must have landed in New York by now
Please don't bring this love down

[Pre-Hook]
Have you lost the same things I have lost?
Do you know that panic I know?
And would I see the terror in your face?
Do you know that fever I know?

[Hook]
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill
In our hearts without chains
If time was still
We'd have no fear
Or scars to heal
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains

[Bridge]
Don't bring this love down
Don't bring this love down
Don't bring this love down
Don't bring this love down

[Hook]
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill
In our hearts without chains
If time was still
We'd have no fear
Or scars to heal
In our hearts without chains
In our hearts without chains

Ellie Goulding

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.
