Songwriter: Ellie Goulding

The motor-way, a VW car
And birds, peek down cos of clouds
I wish the time was to appear
So I can pierce my hands up here

Now I feel much better, your things
In my lifetime, yes it's unfortunate
It's your doing not mine

There's always a place you forget
Always a time you smoke too many a cigarette
I've seen ruins before so I've come to expect it
Emergency exit, emergency exit, please

I've had a million conversations
So why don't I know more
My tongue is long but narrow
I should have seen this come before

Cos the people I converse with
Don't know what it is to live
So I take away a few facts
A dragonfly, on the tracks

Oblivious, oblivious, oblivious, oblivious
Oblivious, oblivious, oh they are cos

There's always a place you forget
Always a time you smoke too many a cigarette
I've seen the ruins before so I've come to expect it
Emergency exit, please, please, please, please, please

I need something stronger
I need something stronger
I need something stronger
I need something stronger
I need something stronger
I need something stronger

There's always a place you forget
Always a time you smoke too many a cigarette
And I've seen the ruins before so I've come to expect it
Emergency exit, emergency exit, please
