Ellie Goulding - The Writer

[00:33.21] You wait for a silence [00:35.95] I wait for a word [00:38.58] Lie next to your frame [00:41.03] Girl unobserved [00:43.49] You change your position [00:45.95] And you are changing me [00:48.96] Casting these shadows [00:51.41] Where they shouldn't be [00:54.28] We're interrupted by the heat of the sun [00:59.37] Trying to prevent what's already begun [01:04.49] You're just a body [01:06.51] I can smell your skin [01:09.50] And when I feel it, you're wearing thin [01:15.62] But I've got a plan [01:18.99] Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay? [01:25.86] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? [01:32.62] Because I'd rather pretend [01:36.63] I'll still be there at the end [01:39.65] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me [01:49.80] Sat on your sofa it's all broken springs [01:54.71] This isn't the place for those violin strings [02:00.04] I try out a smile and I aim it at you [02:05.50] You must have missed it [02:07.74] You always do [02:11.32] But I've got a plan [02:14.77] Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay? [02:21.71] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? [02:28.44] Because I'd rather pretend [02:32.12] I'll still be there at the end [02:35.33] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me [02:53.51] You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted [02:58.64] You wait, I wait, casting shadows [03:05.88] Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay (and make me out of clay) [03:12.30] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say (and decide the words I say) [03:19.18] Because I'd rather pretend [03:22.88] I'll still be there at the end [03:26.15] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me [03:32.94] Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay? [03:39.79] Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? [03:46.34] 'Cause I'd rather pretend [03:50.41] I'll still be there at the end [03:53.49] Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me [04:01.15]
