The Writer Lyrics - Lights - Ellie Goulding

You wait for a silence 

I wait for a word 

Lie next to your frame 

Girl unobserved 

You change your position 

And you are changing me 

Casting these shadows 

Where they shouldn't be 

We're interrupted by the heat of the sun 

Trying to prevent what's already begun 

You're just a body 

I can smell your skin 

And when I feel it, you're wearing thin

But I've got a plan 

Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay? 

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 

Because I'd rather pretend 

I'll still be there at the end 

Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me 

Sat on your sofa... it's all broken springs 

This isn't the place for those violin strings 

I try out a smile and I aim it at you 

You must have missed it 

You always do 

But I've got a plan 

Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay? 

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 

Because I'd rather pretend 

I'll still be there at the end 

Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me 

You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted 

You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted 

You wait, I wait, casting shadows 

But I've got a plan 

Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay? 

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 

Because I'd rather pretend 

I'll still be there at the end 

Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me 

But I've got a plan 

Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay? 

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 

Because I'd rather pretend 

I'll still be there at the end 

Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me
