Florence + The Machine - 100 Years Lyrics
[Verse 1]I believe in you and in our hearts we know the truthI believe in love and the darker it gets, the more I doTry and fill us with your hate and we will shine a lightAnd the days will become endless and never, and never turn to nightAnd never, and never turn to night[Chorus]Then it's just too much, I cannot get you close enoughA hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me hereAnd lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightlyGive me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly[Verse 2]We have no need to fightWe raise our voices and let our hearts take flightGet higher than those planes can flyWhere the stars do not take sides[Chorus]Then it's just too much, I cannot get you close enoughA hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me hereAnd lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightlyGive me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightlyAnd then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with bloodA hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me hereAnd lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightlyGive me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly[Verse 3]I let him sleep, and as he doesMy held breath fills the room with bloodHe hurts in ways I can't describeMy heart bends and breaks so many, many timesAnd is born again with each sunriseAnd is born again with each sunrise[Instrumental interlude][Bridge]Funerals were held all over the city [?]For you to bleed in the squareA woman raised his omen from the pyreSorry, we thought you didn't careAnd how does it feel while you scratch the itchHow does it feel?Pulled out all your stitches[?Karma?] is a *****A hundred arms, a hundred yearsA hundred arms, a hundred years[Chorus]And then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with bloodA hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me hereAnd lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightlyGive me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightlyOh, oh, oh
