Running Hands With The Night Lyrics - Hitch - The Joy Formidable

The first picture 

Our first picture 

Still for a second wrapped in a whisper with you 

Viva the Seine! 

Run the bridges 

Go down these boulevards again 

With you, they feel so different 

It's like nothing here, nothing starts 

Then you and me, all at once 

I'm asking, you're waiting 

I'm smiling 

To let you know 

This city is calling 

Springs open and holds me now 

Running hands with the night 

My shoulders, the streets 

Pull me back in the light 

You're gonna take me back 

You're gonna take me back 

Back to a place that I nearly forgot 

I've been pulled lace 

And I've felt over 

I've felt pity's touch 

Not just another day 

Just another's luck 

Look what it did to us 

It's that slow arm of happiness, you and me holding on 

I'm asking, you're waiting 

I'm smiling 

To let you know 

This city is calling 

Springs open and holds me now 

Running hands with the night 

My shoulders, the streets 

Pull me back in the light 

Just spend their time 

Those empty rooms emptying, they take a while 

But it's a quiet fall 

Just slip away the last mark on the wall 

I want to take a turn 

I want to take this turn 

End up sorry when midnight burns 

Out of the window, out of this madness 

Help me keep this chance together 

It's slipping like rain on glass 

It's slipping like a twisted dance 

It's dying in an empty vase 

It's dying 'cause you tried so hard 

I'm calling home - there's no one waiting 

But you wanna sleep when it all says nothing 

And you wanna stop and the cord's been cut 

¿Cause you were never connected 

It had already dropped 

Got this pain in my chest 

An arm that's numb 

And he's waiting to be blown back 

Back tot he sun where he belongs 

I'm frightened 

I'm frightened 

That chance has drowned in grey 

I'm closing, yeah 

I'm closing 

'Cause love has turned to pearls 

And I said thank you for the one-way steps 

They told me: "There's nothing left" 

But they sent the salvos down 

So nobody will mind 

My orphaned heart got taken in 

That wasn't a moment of kindness 

Little bird 

Don't just sit there 

Look long enough 

There's sadness everywhere 

Open your eyes, feel something new, don't fall from the sky 

Before this city finds you 

This city found you 

In this city, you're not lost 

This city found you 

Carry on, carry on, 'cause I'm gone 

This city found you 

In this city, you're not lost 

This city found you
