[Intro]
Oh, oh, starry-eyed
Hip, oh, oh, sta-a-a-a
Oh, oh, ["starry-eyed" backwards]
["Everybody goes" backwards], s-starry-eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

[Verse 1]
Handlebars that I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in and I'll throw out my heart and get a new one

[Pre-Chorus]
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me, it's like you hit me with lightning, ah ah...

[Chorus]
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes woah-oh-oh
Ah ah, whoa-oh-oh
Ah ah, whoa-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
So we burst into colours, colours and carousels
Fall head first like paper planes and playground games

[Pre-Chorus]
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me, it's like you hit me with lightning

[Chorus]
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed (sta-a-a-a-a-a-a)
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes woah-oh-oh (oh whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Ah ah, whoa-oh-oh
Ah ah, whoa-oh-oh (oh whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Sta-a-a-a

[Hook]
Next thing we're touching (oh, whoa, whoa)
Next thing we're touching (["and I let go" backwards], and I let go)
Next thing we're touching (oh, whoa, whoa)
Next thing we're touching (we come and go but we're not in love, in love)
Next thing we're touching (oh, whoa, whoa)
Next thing we're touching (we come and we go but we're not in love, and I let go)
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touchi-i-ing
Hit me with lightning

[Chorus]
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed (everybody's starry-eyed)
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed (oh everybody, whoa-oh)
And my body goes whoa-oh-oh (ooh ooh, whoa whoa whoa)
Ah ah, whoa-oh-oh (whoa whoa, where my body goes?)
Ah ah, whoa-oh-oh
Ah ooh ooh ooh...

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.
