Sanctuary lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

(Ooh-ooh-ah)
(Ooh-ooh-ah, hoh)

A feather crept its way inside my head
I could have looked away and put its thought to bed
But I shook that feather loose inside my head
It only took a couple more till it had wings to spread, now

This is my sanctuary
This is my show and tell
So free
Remember every touch
So free in the light
My sanctuary

This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary

(Ooh-ooh-ah)
(Ooh-ooh-ah, hoh)

That feather drifted down inside my head
All neon bright and waiting, tethered to who I am
The hours soar like birds out of my hand
To trace the light and make it dance, now

This is my sanctuary
This is my show and tell
So free
Remember every touch
So free in the light
My sanctuary

This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary

(Ooh-ooh-ah)
(Ooh-ooh-ah, hoh)

For all that's sacred, all that's holy
For all that's sacred, all that's holy
So free

This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary
This is my, ooh, this is my, ooh
This is my sanctuary

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

History lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

Our own history
Our own history

Today's just a page
Everything, everything we say's gonna leave a trace
This hour's just a line
Everything, everything we do leaves a trail behind

'Cause time's forever on our side
Who wins, who loses?
It's our version, we decide
We win when our truth comes to life

I won't fade or disappear
We'll mark down that we were here
You and I are writing our history
You and I are writing our history
Our own history
(Our own history)

This pain's only pain
Nothing more, nothing less, we won't let it leave a stain
This fear's only doubt
Nothing more, nothing less, not real, we can write it out

'Cause time's forever on our side
Who wins, who loses?
It's our version, we decide
We win, when our truth comes to life

I won't fade or disappear
We'll mark down that we were here
You and I are writing our history
You and I are writing our history
Our own history

I won't fade or disappear
We'll mark down that we were here
You and I are writing our history
You and I are writing our history
Our own history
(Our own history)
(Our own history)

Somebody remember
Someone will remember we're here
Somebody remember
Someone will remember we're here
Somebody remember
Someone will remember we're here
Somebody remember
Someone will remember we're here
Somebody remember
Someone will remember we're here
Somebody remember
Someone will remember we're here

I won't fade or disappear
We'll mark down that we were here
You and I are writing our history
You and I are writing our history
Our own history

I won't fade or disappear
We'll mark down that we were here
You and I are writing our history
You and I are writing our history
Our own history
(Our own history)

Any Less lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

I shot down and slammed the door
I need a minute for me
It may take a little more
No need to worry
We cross so many lines
Drawn on the ground I can't see
Where you begin and I'm right in the middle

You should know that no matter what will come
I'm your eyes when you're blind and had enough
I'm your home, you should know, oh

You could say the wrong things out
I really wouldn't care
Trip up, but I know under there
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you any less
You could be a rolling stone
A little too naive
So cute, you make me wanna scream
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you
I wouldn't love you any less

So you had a bad day
No need to hide it from me
It's all written on your face
No need to worry
Like a person no body sees
You let me under, I know the beneath
No way, not only our mistakes
Not even a little

You should know that no matter what will come
I'm your eyes when you're blind and had enough
I'm your home, you should know, oh

You could say the wrong things out
I really wouldn't care
Trip up, but I know under there
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you any less
You could be a rolling stone
A little too naive
So cute, you make me wanna scream
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you
I wouldn't love you any less

Never let go, no
Never let go
You could be a rolling stone
A little too naive
So cute, you make me wanna scream
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you
I wouldn't love you any less

You could say the wrong things out
I really wouldn't care
Trip up, but I know under there
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you any less
You could be a rolling stone
A little too naive
So cute, you make me wanna scream
You're covered in gold and
I wouldn't love you
I wouldn't love you any less

I know I'll never let go
I know I'll never let go
Not even a little

Who Loves You? lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

Getting lost inside another dream
Watch it all just fade away
Don't care where I'm going
Where I've been, I'm here today
All the thoughts I hold inside of me
Will I ever find a way?
Everybody's got a place to hide
And that's okay
All the lonely dreamers
Keeping the world at bay

When you're awake in the dark with a broken heart
Who loves you? Who loves you?
Hiding tears from the side with your Ray-Ban's on
Who loves you? Who loves you?
You say you wanna be free, but you just don't know how
Who loves you now? Who loves you now?

Getting lost so I can hear the breeze
Telling me to float away
Somehow I keep going
Heaven sent me here today

When you're awake in the dark with a broken heart
Who loves you? Who loves you?
Hiding tears from the side with your Ray-Ban's on
Who loves you? Who loves you?
You say you wanna be free, but you just don't know how
Who loves you now? Who loves you now?

Have you ever felt like this?
Have you seen the sky in sorrow?
Have you walked a thousand miles on your own?
Is it true that when we fall, we will sing again tomorrow?
I don't know, I don't know
(Don't look away, don't look away, don't look away)
(Don't look away, don't look away, don't look away)

When you're awake in the dark with a broken heart
Who loves you? Who loves you?
Hiding tears from the side with your Ray-Ban's on
Who loves you? Who loves you?
You say you wanna be free, but you just don't know how
Who loves you now? Who loves you now?

You say you wanna be free, but you just don't know how
Who loves you now? Who loves you now?

Going Ghost lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

I'm in the deepest darkest silence
But I'm hearing you
Living inside my head
Under my lovers bed, ooh
I'm commanding my soul to go deeper
Open up and become a receiver
I got no room left in the light now
Pushing, pulling you
It's like a crowded house
That no one knows about, ooh
I'm commanding my soul to go deeper
Open up and become a receiver
I come out of my soul

I'm going ghost, I'm going ghost
On you, till you're out of sight
I'm going ghost, I'm going ghost
On you, fading till the night

Here's to the walls that [?] us
Everywhere I go
You're always by my side
In the corner of my eye, ooh
I'm commanding my soul to go deeper
Open up and become a receiver
I'm commanding my soul to go deeper
Open up and become a receiver

I'm going ghost, I'm going ghost
On you, till you're out of sight
I'm going ghost, I'm going ghost
On you, fading till the light

If I have to keep the [?]
And kill the feelings I have
[?]
I'm going ghost
I'm commanding my soul to go deeper
Open up and become a receiver
I'm commanding my soul to go deeper
Open up and become a receiver
I'm commanding my soul to go
I'm commanding my soul to go
I'm going ghost
I'm going ghost on you
Fading till the night

I'm going ghost, I'm going ghost
On you, till you're out of sight
I'm going ghost, I'm going ghost
On you, fading till the night

[?]
And help them free them from my mind
I'm going ghost

Rabbit lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

So many things on my agenda
Gotta take, get out them all
Bills to pay and mails to send out
So many people I should call
And I know, I know
It all needs to be done somehow
But I can't, I can't
I really can right now

I gotta walk my rabbit, my rabbit
My itsy bitsy rabbit
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Gotta do it, it's a habit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My teeny tiny rabbit
You can have it, don't you get it?
Gotta go and walk my rabbit

Go into the naked eyes
Run, and then I forget the names
Jump, with not a care in the world
When I walk my rabbit
I believe in love and magic

Go into the naked eyes
Run, and then I forget the names
Jump, with not a care in the world
When I walk my rabbit
I believe in love and magic

You think I'm easily persuaded
By a handsome guy like you
But it's far more complicated
Boy, you just don't have a clue
You know, you know
I would love to go out with you
But I can't, I can't
I got other things to do
Think about it

Go into the naked eyes
Run, and then I forget the names
Jump, with not a care in the world
When I walk my rabbit
I believe in love and magic

Go into the naked eyes
Run, and then I forget the names
Jump, with not a care in the world
When I walk my rabbit
I believe in love and magic

Go into the naked eyes
Go into the naked eyes
When I walk my rabbit
I believe in love and magic

I gotta walk my rabbit, my rabbit
My itsy bitsy rabbit
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Gotta do it, it's a habit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My teeny tiny rabbit
You can have it, don't you get it?
Gotta go and walk my rabbit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My itsy bitsy rabbit
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Gotta do it, it's a habit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My teeny tiny rabbit
You can have it, don't you get it?
Gotta go and walk my rabbit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My itsy bitsy rabbit
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Gotta do it, it's a habit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My teeny tiny rabbit
You can have it, don't you get it?
Gotta go and walk my rabbit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My itsy bitsy rabbit
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Gotta do it, it's a habit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My teeny tiny rabbit
You can have it, don't you get it?
Gotta go and walk my rabbit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My itsy bitsy rabbit
Don't you get it? Don't you get it?
Gotta do it, it's a habit
My rabbit, my rabbit
My teeny tiny rabbit
You can have it, don't you get it?
Gotta go and walk my rabbit

Hunting High And Low lyrics -

Here I am
And within the reach of my hand
Is loud asleep
And he's sweeter now
Than the wildest dreams
Could've seen him
And I watch him slipping away

Though I'll be hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'm going to
To hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'm going to

To find him again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark I sense the pounding of his heart
Next to mine is the sweetest though I could find

So I guess I'll be hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'm going to
To hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'm going to

Do you know what it means to love you?
I'm hunting high and low
And now he's telling me he's got to go, ooh
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces

Hunting high and low, high
There's no end to the lengths I'm going to
For you I'll be hunting high and low

Drunk Tonight lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

Nothing is worse than a drunk ex text
So stop wherever you are
I know this hurts and it's all a mess
But stop and live with the scars

What we had is never coming back
And what you did will never be forgotten
You can't fix it, it's already dead
So let it go

I just think you're drunk tonight
Drunk tonight
You don't really want me back
I just think you're broke inside
Sad and high
You don't really want me back

Put down the phone
It's time to go home
I just think you're drunk tonight
Drunk tonight
You don't really want me back

And nothing you say can ever erase
The way you messed with my head
And nothing you do will ever ring true
You deserve every single regret

What we had is never coming back
And what you did will never be forgotten
You can't fix it, it's all in your head
So let it go

I just think you're drunk tonight
Drunk tonight
You don't really want me back
I just think you're broke inside
Sad and high
You don't really want me back

So put down the phone
It's time to go home
I just think you're drunk tonight
Drunk tonight
You don't really want me back

Oh, go to bed, sleep off your sorrow
This will all be gone tomorrow

I just think you're drunk tonight
You don't really want me back
I just think you're sad and high
You don't really want me back

So put down the phone
It's time to go home
Just leave me alone
Oh woah

I don't wanna have this fight
I'm sick and tired
I don't even want you back
You're probably in a bar somewhere
Faking tears
I'm never gonna want you back

So put down the phone
It's time to go home
I just think you're drunk tonight
Drunk tonight
You don't really want me back

My Empire lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

Ohhh, ahhh

Are you crying?
And everyone's afraid to speak
It feels like dying
But hope is never out of reach

I wanna radiate
Like the sun again
And start anew
And if I fall from grace
I won't be afraid
I'm coming through

You can take my crown
But you won't get inside of my head
You can break me down
And it will rise

My empire
My empire
My empire
And it will rise again

It's so quiet
But still water's running deep
And there's a riot
Reaching deep inside of me

I wanna radiate
Like the sun again
Let's make anew
And if I fall from grace
Never be afraid
I'm coming through

You can take my crown
But you won't get inside of my head
You can break me down
And it will rise

My empire
My empire
My empire
And it will rise
My empire
My empire
My empire
And it will rise again

Again
It will rise
Again

(Here I go, here I go)
My empire
(Here I go, here I go)
My empire
(Here I go, here I go)
My empire
(Here I go, here I go)

My empire
My empire
My empire
And it will rise
My empire
My empire
My empire
And it will rise

And again (my empire)
And again (my empire)
And again (my empire)
And it will rise again
Again

Hopes & Fears lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

You fell down again
Oh, I tried to help you up
It's been a long day
And I think you've had enough

Staring into empty space
Something's always in the way
I will take you to a place far away

From the rooftops and the mountains
Look up, look up at the same view
And the heroes and the cowards
Look up, look up at the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears

When you're feeling lost
Come to me, I'll take your hand
You just have to trust
I will always understand

Staring into empty space
Something's always in the way
I will take you to a place far away

From the rooftops and the mountains
Look up, look up at the same view
And the heroes and the cowards
Look up, look up at the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears

Staring into empty space
Something's always in the way
I will take you to a place
Make you feel alive again

Breathing in the ocean air
You can always find me there
You are never all alone
Oh-oh-oh-oh

From the rooftops and the mountains
Look up, look up at the same view
And the heroes and the cowards
Look up, look up
Look up, look up

From the rooftops and the mountains
Look up, look up at the same view
And the heroes and the cowards
Look up, look up at the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears
At the hopes and fears

Smells Like Teen Spirit lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

(originally by Nirvana)

Load up on guns; bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now; entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now; entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard; it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now; entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now; entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

Hunter & Prey lyrics - Emmelie De Forest

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah)
(Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah)

My prison, my cage
Voices creep in when I close my eyes
I try to escape this house with no walls
But I'm still in the dark

It's time to reach, it's time to reach out
It's time to breathe, it's time to breathe out
We'll chase the light

Like hunter and prey we run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey chasing each other
Through thunder and flames we run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey facing each other

Run, run, eh yeah
Run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey

I feel the earth beneath my bare feet
As I walk towards you
The air that I breathe feels new
Full of hope like the whisper came true

I hear your heart, I hear your heartbeat
I feel your arms, your arms around me
We'll chase the light

Like hunter and prey we run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey chasing each other
Through thunder and flames we run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey facing each other

Run, run, eh yeah
Run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey

(Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah)
(Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah)

It's time to reach, it's time to reach out
It's time to breathe, it's time to breathe out

I hear your heart (eh yeah)
I hear your heartbeat (eh yeah, eh yeah)
I feel your arms (eh yeah)
Your arms around me (eh yeah, eh yeah)

Like hunter and prey we run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey chasing each other
Like hunter and prey we run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey facing each other

Run, run, eh yeah
Hunter and prey facing each other

(Run, run, eh yeah) hunter and prey
(Run, run, eh yeah) we're chasing each other
(Run, run, eh yeah) we're just like hunter and prey
(Run, run, eh yeah) we're facing each other
(Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah)
