[Verse 1]
Between a crucifix and the Hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt
Now there’s a few things we have to burn
Set our hearts ablaze, and every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And I was making you a wish
In every skyline

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful

[Verse 2]
And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
A satellite beside me

And meanwhile a man was falling from space
As he hit the earth I left this place
Let the atmosphere surround me
A satellite beside me

[Pre-Chorus]
What are we gonna do?
We've opened the door, now it's all coming through
Tell me you see it too
We've opened our eyes and it's changing the view
Oh, what are we gonna do?
We've opened the door, now it's all coming through

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how (beautiful)
How big, how blue, how (beautiful)

[Verse 3]
And every city was a gift
And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
And I was making you a wish
In every skyline

And meanwhile a man was falling from space
And every day I wore your face
Like an atmosphere around me
I'm happy you're beside me

[Pre-Chorus]
What are we gonna do?
We've opened the door, now it's all coming through
Tell me you see it too
We've opened our eyes and it's changing the view
Oh, what are we gonna do?
We've opened the door, now it's all coming through

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...

[Bridge]
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up
Maybe I'll see you in another life
If this one wasn't enough
So much time on the other side

[Chorus]
How big, how blue, how beautiful
How big, how blue, how...

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.
