[Verse 1]
I'm going to be released from behind these lines
And I don't care whether I live or die
And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones
And I don't want your heart, it leaves me cold

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want your future
I don't need your past
One grand moment
Is all I ask

[Chorus]
I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

[Verse 2]
I don't need a husband, don't need no wife
And don't need the day, I don't need the night
And I don't need the birds, let them fly away
And I don't want the clouds, they never seem to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want no future
I don't need no past
One grand moment
Is all I ask

I don't want your future
I don't need your past
One grand moment
Is all I ask, and I-

[Chorus]
I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my, lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

[Bridge]
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me down
Pulling me down

[Chorus]
I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm going to leave my body
(Moving up to higher ground)
I'm going to lose my mind
(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

Florence + The Machine

Florence + the Machine is an English alternative band, co-founded by front-woman, Florence Welch, and keyboardist and producer, Isabella Summers. The band is managed by Mairead Nash who also managed the original duo, known at the time as ‘Florence Robot/Isa Machine’, after Florence Welch sang Etta James‘ “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” to her in a club bathroom in December 2006.

The band first found fame in their native UK. Their debut album, Lungs (2009), went Gold within the first week of release, Platinum in less than 6 months and 4x Platinum in just over a year. They broke into the USA market after an elaborate performance of “Dog Days Are Over” at the 2010 VMA’s.

Their sophomore album, Ceremonials (2011), debuted at #1 on the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand charts. The band embarked on their second arena-based tour, the Ceremonials Tour. Most dates completely sold out.
