Years & Years - Communion Lyrics
Foundation
There's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
All the things I want I really shouldn't get
If I triumph, are you watching?
Can you separate everything for me?
You used to work me out
But you never worked it out for me
There's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
All the things I want, I really shouldn't get
If I triumph, are you watching?
Can you separate everything for me?
You used to work me out
But you never worked it out for me
And your head looks good
I wanna love it so much
I wanna be the one
I wanna do what you love
And I was lying
I don't really wanna be fine
It's all over
And there's a scratch on your shoulder
It crushes me like, it crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
And all the things I want I really shouldn't get

Shine
I remember us alone
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger
I've got, so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shiver with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm, can you
Show me how we can escape
(Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh)
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
(Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh)
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined
It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Now that we can hear that sound
Now that you can hold me down
You can pull me under
You can raise everything to the ground
Everything I can arrange,
Every part of me you change
Just hold me together, tell me
You'll always want me to stay
(Ooh oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh)
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
(Ooh oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh)
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined
It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one
That your love, that your love
Can heal
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one
That you'll love, that you'll love
It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've be waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've be waiting to find
It's you that I've be waiting to find
It's you that I've been waiting to find

Take Shelter
I'll wait until you have to go
I'll make it so you never ever know
How much I have messed it up
We're running 'round like we don't care
It's gonna leave its marks somewhere
Do you want to show me something new?
(You go now, reached my top anyway
You go now, reached my top anyway)
Just tell me what I have to do
To keep myself apart from you
All your colors start to burn
I know I wanted far too much
Then I thought that wouldn't be enough
All this talk is closing you
Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight, it's alright
If you want to get used
You get used
Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight, it's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used
I don't really wanna stop myself
Nobody's gonna tell me I need help
Are you coming over soon?
I'll meet you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I'm shy, cannot be what you like
(You go down, reached my top anyway
You go down, reached my top anyway)
Just tell me what I have to do
To keep myself apart from you
All your colors start to burn
And take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight, it's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used
Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight, it's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used
I don't really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love
If you wanna find something more
I'll be the one to run for you
I don't really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love
If you wanna find something more
I'll be the one to run for you
Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight, it's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used
And take shelter (shelter)
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight, it's alright
If you want to get used

Worship
Wanna be here tonight
Wanna hide in your light
Wanna cover my eyes, I feel you reflect in me
I worship all that you see
Can I still make it right?
Can I be what you like?
Can I keep up this fight?
I hope that you'll never know
Why I need your control
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
You're all I need to survive
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
Blind devotion
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
And you'll be my sacrifice
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
You say you love
I worship, high praises
My longing drives me crazy for you
My kingdom for your graces
I'm not gonna tell nobody
I'm not gonna tell nobody 'bout you
I'm not gonna tell nobody 'bout you
Gotta hold my head up
Gotta move for your touch
Gotta keep my lips shut
I'll do what you tell me to
'Cause in darkness I follow you
I follow you
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
You're all I need to survive
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
Blind devotion
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
And you'll be my sacrifice
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
You say you love
I worship, high praises
My longing drives me crazy for you
My kingdom for your graces
I'm not gonna tell nobody
I'm not gonna tell nobody 'bout you
Just tell me how I can prove
I'm the one for your fire
And I'll take you higher
I'll do it for you
And you can worship me too
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
(I'm holy, I want you to know it)
I worship, high praises
My longing drives me crazy for you
My kingdom for your graces
I'm not gonna tell nobody
I'm not gonna tell nobody 'bout you
I worship, high praises
My longing drives me crazy for you
My kingdom for your graces
I'm not gonna tell nobody
I'm not gonna tell nobody 'bout you
I'm not gonna tell nobody 'bout you

Eyes Shut
Throw your heart to me
Let it fall and hit the ground
Let it go
Your timing was so wrong
And I just want to be found
And, oh
And I
Yeah, I've got the lines, I've got the lines
Oh, it's brighter this time
This type of mine, this disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
Again
And it starts again
You come over with your friends
I don't wanna talk to them
And all I really want is to start again
And, oh
And I
Yeah, I've got the lines, I've got the lines
Oh, it's brighter this time
This type of mine, this disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
And I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
'Cause I wanna be bigger than life
Hurt you
Hurt you
'Cause I wanna be bigger than life
Hurt you
Hurt you
And nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
And I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
No, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them

Ties
You tell me you like to burn a bridge
That you always make mistakes like this
Are you having fun?
I tell you I've got my secrets too
I go hunting for someone like you
Are you having fun?
Oh, tell me how did it feel?
Did it all get too real for you?
Everybody's screaming out your name
Are you scared?
Cause I don't think you're worth it
Ties, ties, ties, ties
Just wanna be the one you tie
Ties, ties
Just wanna be the one you tie
Ties, ties
Just wanna be the one you tie
And you're a dancer, well I'm a spy
It's so beautiful to see you lie
Are you having fun?
And give it up, you don't need that stress
You're still hungry for another test
Are you having fun?
Oh, tell me how did it feel?
Did it all get too real for you?
Everybody's screaming out your name
Are you scared?
Cause I don't think you're worth it
Ties, ties, ties, ties
I just wanna be the one you tie
Oh, ties, oh, ties, oh, ties
I just wanna be the one you tie
Oh, ties, oh, ties, oh, ties
Oh, I just wanna be the one you tie
Just another bite that takes it higher than before
Did it make you feel good? Does he run away?
Does he fill the space? It feels like you don't care
Just another bite that takes it higher than before
Did it make you feel good? Does he run away?
Does he fill the space? It feels like you don't care
Ties, ties, ties, ties
I just wanna be the one you tie
Oh, ties, oh, ties, oh, ties
I just wanna be the one you tie
Oh, ties, oh, ties, oh, ties
Oh, I just wanna be the one you tie

King
I caught you watching me under the light
Can I realign?
They say it's easy to leave you behind
I don't wanna try
Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I've compromised
To feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight
And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go
Don't you remember how I used to like
Being on the line?
I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
Is it worth the price?
Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I've compromised
To feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight
And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
I had to break myself to carry on
No love and no admission
Take this from me tonight
Oh-oh, let's fight
Oh-oh, let's fight
Oh-oh, let's fight
Oh-oh-oh
And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything

Desire
I must be tough
I must behave, I must keep fighting
Don't give it up
I want to keep us compromising
Open your arms and pray
To the truth that you're denying
Give in to the game
To the sense that you've been hiding
Where are you taking me?
I can't be blamed
I want you to want me again
Is it desire
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
I want desire
'Cause your love only gets me abused
Give me that rush
I want to show you what you've been missing
Am I enough
To keep your other lovers hidden
Where are you taking me?
I can't be blamed
I want you to want me again
Is it desire
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
I want desire
'Cause your love only gets me abused
Is it desire (is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
I want desire
I wanna see what you're willing to lose
You know that you've got me
You've locked me down
You tell me you want me
You need it now
You know that you've got me
You've locked me down
You tell me you want me now
Is it desire? (Is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
I want desire (I want desire)
'Cause your love only gets me abused
Is it desire? (Is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you? (That I'm feeling for you)
I want desire
I wanna see what you're willing to lose (ooh what you're willing to lose)

Gold
Am I defined? oh
By the way they look at me
Will I be tried? oh
Will they take what I believe?
I shiver on the one I breathe for two
I give you what you want
I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game, I fool them all
Oh, like gold, let it lead me astray
Oh ike gold, let it take me away
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
I'll be running fast, 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
Do I belong?
Oh I see it start to fade
Teach them a song
Oh now I feel I've been betrayed
I shiver on the one I breathe for two
I give you what you want I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game, I fool them all
Oh, like gold, let it lead me astray
Oh like gold, let it take me away
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
I'll be running fast, 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
Everything is brighter now
It shimmers like a stone
And everything surrounds you now
It's you and you alone
Oh, like gold, oh, like gold
And If I turn my back and I leave it all
I'll be running fast, 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight

Without
You're the first one, you're the champion
You're the tall one, you are halcyon
You don't belong to me, you're too far away
And everything falls apart when I try to say
You're enough, in love without me
So close your heart, you'll never find me
Oh, you can hate me now
'Cause I'll be gone
And I'll be with you or without
You can count wrongs, you can make it worse
How could I have known you're a universe
Follow the marks you left, feel the undertow
Or that you thought you knew it's so hard to hold
You're enough, in love without me
So close your heart, you'll never find me
Oh, you can hate me now
'Cause I'll be gone
And I'll be with you or without
Oh, you keep shivering into the night
I can let you hold me
And tell each other that we might survive
If we keep it going oh
You're enough, in love without me
So close your heart, you'll never find me
Oh, you can hate me now
'Cause I'll be gone
And I'll be with you or without
And I'll be with you or without

Border
Studying your moves, I wanna play
It's all so easy when you're the one who loves the pain
Do I remember what I was taught?
Am I gonna catch you?
Is it bright enough to see all we are?
I'll bring you another rush
I'll bring you another rush
I'll bring you another rush
Oh, oh, oh, who we are and what we do
Oh, oh, oh, makes me want it, makes me move
Oh, oh, oh, could I be the warrior?
Oh, oh, oh, do you feel it, does it hurt?
I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
She'll fool your heart, tell me who's to blame?
Are you feeling guilty?
'Cause every corner is filled with shame
Do you require me?
To let you know you made it through
And it's getting lighter
You won't get lost, you'll never lose
Oh, oh, oh, who we are and what we do
Oh, oh, oh, makes me want it, makes me move
Oh, oh, oh, could I be the warrior?
Oh, oh, oh, do you feel it, does it hurt?
I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
I'm going to the border
My body will be stronger
My heart, it will start to shine
And I will be alright
