South London Forever Lyrics - Florence And The Machine

[Verse 1] 

When I go home alone 

I drive past the place where I was born 

And the places that I used to drink 

Young and drunk and stumbling in the street 

Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet 

With the art students and the boys in bands 

High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met 

[Verse 2] 

I thought "it doesn't get 

Better than this 

There can be nothing better than this 

Better than this" 

And we climbed onto the roof, the museum 

And someone made love in the ground 

And I'd forgotten my name 

And the way back to my mother's house 

With your black cool eyes and your bitten lips 

The world is at your fingertips 

It doesn't get better than this 

What else could be better than this?

[Chorus] 

Oh, don't you know I have seen 

I have seen the fields aflame 

And everything I ever did 

Was just another way to scream your name 

[Hook] 

Over and over and over and over again 

Over and over and over and over again 

[Verse 3] 

And we're just children wanting children of our own 

I wanted space to watch things grow 

But did I dream too big? 

Do I have to let it go? 

What if one day there is no such thing as snow? 

Oh God, what do I know? 

[Bridge] 

And I don't know anything 

Except that green is so green 

And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring 

[Chorus] 

Oh, don't you know I have seen 

I have seen the fields aflame 

And everything I ever did 

Was just another way to scream your name 

[Hook] 

Over and over and over and over again 

Over and over and over and over again 

[Chorus] 

Oh, don't you know that I have seen 

I have seen the fields aflame 

But everything I ever did 

Was just another way to scream your name
