Lorde's website: http://lorde.co.nz/ All my life, I've been fighting a war I can't talk to you or your friends It's not only you, My heart jumps around when I'm eluded to This will not do Cause I was raised up to be admired, to be noticed But when you're withdrawn, it's the closest thing To a someone who lies around you This will not do – - - – - – – - – – - – I'm thinking glory, Lick my lips toss my hair And send a smile over And the story brand new I can take it from here, I'll find my own bravado It's a switch flipped It's a pill tipped back It's a moon eclipsed, oh And I can tell that, when the lights come on I'll be ready for this It's in your bloodstream A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes It's a marathon run or a (inaudible) without making a sound I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down To trip me up, and laugh at me, But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room And the one around to find me out I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh
