Various Storms & Saints Lyrics - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful - Florence And The Machine

And the air was full 

Of various storms and saints 

Praying in the street 

As the banks began to break 

And I'm in the throes of it 

Somewhere in the belly of the beast 

But you took your toll on me 

So I gave myself over willingly 

Oh, you got a hold on me 

I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream 

I am teaching myself how to be free 

The monument of a memory 

You tear it down in your head 

Don't make the mountain your enemy 

Get out, get up there instead 

You saw the stars out in front of you 

Too tempting not to touch 

But even though it shocked you 

Something's electric in your blood 

And people just untie themselves 

Uncurling lifelines 

If you could just forgive yourself 

But still you stumble, feet give way 

Outside the world seems a violent place 

But you had to have him, and so you did 

Some things you let go in order to live 

While all around you the buildings sway 

You sing it out loud, who made us this way 

I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay 

Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe 

Hold on to your heart, don't give it away 

You'll find a rooftop to sing from 

Or find a hallway to dance 

You don't need no edge to cling from 

Your heart is there, it's in your hands 

I know it seems like forever 

I know it seems like an age 

But one day this will be over 

I swear it's not so far away 

And people just untie themselves 

Uncurling lifelines 

If you could just forgive yourself 

But still you stumble, feet give way 

Outside the world seems a violent place 

But you had to have him, and so you did 

Some things you let go in order to live 

While all around you the buildings sway 

You sing it out loud, who made us this way 

I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay 

Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe 

Hold on to your heart
