[Verse 1]
I’ll wait until you have to go
I’ll make it so you never ever know how much I have messed it up
We run around like we don’t care
It’s gonna leave its mark somewhere
Do you want to show me something new?

[Refrain]
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just tell me what I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn
I know I want you far too much
Never thought I wouldn’t be enough
All this talk is bruising you

[Chorus]
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used

[Verse 2]
I don’t really wanna stop myself
Nobody’s gonna tell me I need help
Are you coming over soon?
I meet you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I’m shy
Can I be what you like?

[Refrain]
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way
You go down, you reach 'round, talk in any way

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just tell me what I have to do to keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn

[Chorus]
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used

[Bridge]
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love, if you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love, if you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you

[Chorus]
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter (oh-oh-oh)
Take the pressure (oh-oh-oh)
Do what you want tonight
It's alright if you want to get used
Then get used

Years & Years

Years & Years are a London-based electronic-pop trio. They formed in 2010, after Mikey moved from Australia and met Emre. Founding member Noel Leeman left the band in 2013. Shortly afterwards, Olly Alexander became their frontman after Mikey heard him singing in the shower.

The trio melds electronica with soul-baring, confessional style lyrics. Their first EP, Traps, was released in 2013. They followed up with three more EP’s, Real, Take Shelter, and Y&Y in 2014 and 2015. Their first full-length album Communion was released on July 10, 2015.

In April of 2018, Years & Years began to tease fans with talks of a new record via Facebook word games and their official newsletter, hinting the album would drop by the “seventh third quarter moon,” which falls on July 6, 2018.
