Conductor Lyrics - Florence And The Machine

I tried to control my shaking 

With just one sound 

I tried to warm the ocean 

By writing it down 

I tried to tame my nightmare 

Line by line 

If I write a song about you 

Does that make you mine? 

The conductor caught in slow motion 

The orchestra plays on 

Over and over; the same motion 

This work is never done

The only thing that's certain 

Is your indecision 

I guess it must be working 

Cause you hit me with such precision 

Now the strings are breaking 

Their fingers run with blood 

But they keep on playing 

The cycle never stops 

Who's in control? 

Who's playing who? 

She wants to be amongst them 

Conducting them too 

She knows the song won't save her 

But what else can she do? 

She weeps just like a willow 

She's playing for you 

She's fragile and she's ferocious 

As the current flows through 

She's a conductor caught in slow motion 

The orchestra plays on 

Over and over; the same motion 

This work is never done 

Now here comes the crescendo 

The music starts to swell 

And now it's so ecstatic 

I know this part so well 

And then it goes staccato 

The notes were flying up 

Higher and higher 

But they never reach the top 

Who's in control? 

Who's playing who? 

Who's in control? 

Who's playing who? 

I am the orchestra 

The conductor too 

My heart is a concert hall 

And I filled it with you
