[Verse 1]
The show was ending and I had started to crack
Woke up in Chicago when the sky turned black
And you're so high, you're so high, you have to be an angel
And I'm so high, I'm so high, I can see an angel

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your heart beating in your chest
The world slows till there's nothing left
Skyscrapers look on like great, unblinking giants
In those heavy days in June
When love became an act of defiance

[Chorus]
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other

[Verse 2]
And you were broken-hearted
And the world was too
And I was beginning to lose my grip
And I have always held it loosely
But this time I admit
I felt it really start to slip
And choirs sing in the street
And I would come to you
To watch the television screen
In your hotel room
I'm always down to hide with you

[Chorus]
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other
Hold on to each other

[Outro]
You're so high, you're so high
You're so high, you're so high
You're so high, you're so high
You have to be an angel
And I'm so high, I'm so high
I'm so high, I'm so high
I'm so high, I'm so high
I can see an angel

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.
