[Chorus/Intro]
If you lock me out
If you lock me out
If you lock me out
If you lock me out
If you lock me out

[Verse 1]
I’m living on the wild side
I’ve never seen a footprint
In the land of rivers
You’re my only bridge

And I feel the fear in me
And I don’t want to fall asleep
When I turn into someone else
I know that it gives me peace

[Chorus] [x3]

[Post-Chorus] [x2]
Will you know who I am?
Will you know who you are?

[Verse 2]
I think I’ve been praying
The lights won’t go out
My blood is getting colder
As I follow this road down

[Chorus] [x2]
If you lock me out (There won’t be anything to hold)
If you lock me out (There won’t be anything to hold on to)
If you lock me out (There won’t be anyone in the end)
If you lock me out (There won’t be anyone in the ending)

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.
