[Verse 1]
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
To try and keep from calling you
Well, can my dreams keep coming true?
How can they?
'Cause when I sleep, I never dream of you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
As if the dream of you, it sleeps too
But it never slips away
It just gains its strength and digs its hooks
To drag me through the day

[Chorus]
But I'm caught
I forget all that I've been taught
I can't keep calm, I can't keep still
Pulled apart against my will

[Verse 2]
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to prove
You turned to salt as I turned around to look at you
Old friends have said, the books I've read
Say it's the thing to do
But it's hard to see it when you're in it
'Cause I went blind for you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then you leave my head, crawl out the bed
You subconscious solipsist
And for those hours deep in the dark
Perhaps you don't exist

[Chorus]
But I'm caught
I forget all that I've been taught
I can't keep calm, I can't keep still
Pulled apart against my will

[Bridge]
And I'm thrashing on the line
Somewhere between
Desperate and divine
I can't keep calm, I can't keep still
Persephone will have her fill

[Chorus]
But I'm caught
I forget all that I've been taught
I can't keep calm, I can't keep still
Pulled apart against my will

[Chorus]
But I'm caught
I forget all that I've been taught
I can't keep calm, I can't keep still
Pulled apart against my will

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.
