The XX - VCR Lyrics

VCR Lyrics - The XX

You, you still have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night

Watch things on VCR's, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do

When I find myself by the sea, in anothers company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna die and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do

Watch things on VCR's, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do

The XX - Unfold Lyrics

Unfold Lyrics - The XX

Am I blind?
You move your hand away from mine
I'll take it as a sign
That you're any less than mine
Oh, it doesn't move me to be cold
It doesn't lessen my hope
You know our time and all

Oh, let it unfold
I won't leave it untold
The feeling goes on and on and on

In my head
You tell me things you've never said
And I choose to forget
And take the good and leave the rest
Oh, the illusion's getting old
And you don't answer when I call
I would have given you it all

Oh, Out of sight, Out of mind
It doesn't mean you're not mine
The feeling goes on and on and on

The XX - Try Lyrics

Try Lyrics - The XX

We bide our time
Though the time is fine
Oh to be there, I could be there
Say you'll be there

You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'll try

Why do we waste time
Hiding it inside?
I want you to be mine

Now it's dead and gone
You say what you would've done
You would've been there,
I wish you'd been there,
I needed you there

And if we try once more
Would you give me it all?
I won't believe it,
'Til I can feel it
Can you feel it?

You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'll try

The XX - Tides Lyrics

Tides Lyrics - The XX

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Devote to me
Alone with me
Say with me
"Why would you ever want to leave?"

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Fade out of view
I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't just leave us alone
When we can be close, close, close

Hold me close when you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning
[X2]

The XX - Teardrops Lyrics

Teardrops Lyrics - The XX

Whenever I hear goodbyes, reminds me baby of you
I break down and cry, next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance reminds me baby of you
And I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true,
I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did with you

When I'm dancin' 'round, reminds me baby of you
And I really let you down, next time I'll be true
I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did with you

The XX - Swept Away Lyrics

Swept Away Lyrics - The XX

I get swept away
When I think of you
Take me to that place
Where it's control I lose

I'm soothed by you, you take it all away
I lose to you, surrendered at the start of the game

I'll never deceive
I'm right here, I always been

Hide away, I'll hide away with you
I'll let the world just slip away
And I'm left with you

Your little masquerade, I'm sure of the mood
The moments we share
Always end too soon

Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away, yet you feel so near

The XX - Sunset Lyrics

Sunset Lyrics - The XX

I saw you again, it felt like we had never met
It's like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise
And what have you done with the one I love?
When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise

I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

We make believe, I've never seen your face, you neither mine
And catch my eye, don't register a smile
You were more than just a friend, Oh but the feeling
It never came to an end, I can't bear to see you

I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me

When I see you again
I'll know not to expect
Stay one step away
We will have to wait

When I see you again
And I'm greeted as a friend
It is understood
That we did all we could

I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me

The XX - Stars Lyrics

Stars Lyrics - The XX

I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
And dear know that I can change

But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time
With me

I can draw the line on the first date
I'll let you cross it
Let you take every line I've got
When the time gets late

But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time
With me

If you want me
Let me know
Where do you wanna go
No need for talking
I already know
If you want me
Why go

I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
And dear know that I can change

But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time
With me

The XX - Shelter Lyrics

Shelter Lyrics - The XX

I find shelter, in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say?
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

The XX - Reunion Lyrics

Reunion Lyrics - The XX

We visit a life we both left behind
Ignore the heart
Move to the ever-moving
Or, blazin', we go over
And over and over and over again

If I wait too long,
I'll lose you from my sight
Maybe tonight
I could stop dreaming
And start believing in forever
And ever and ever and ever again

Reunion, reunion
Reunion, reunion
Never not ever, never not ever again

And it's burning inside 'til you give it up
How long should I wait?
There's no need to hide, from this
Only you in here

There's an end to us with someone else inside
You shine your light
There goes that feeling, won't let me see them
Never not ever, never not ever again

Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Never not ever again
Did I (Never not ever) see you (Never again)
See me (Never not ever) in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Did I see you, see me?
Never not ever, never not ever again

The XX - Our Song Lyrics

Our Song Lyrics - The XX

All I have
I will give to you
In the times when no one wants to
I will give you me
And we'll be us (2x)

And there's no one else
Who knows me
Like you do
What I've done
You've done too

The walls I hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through

Well I know all the words
To take you apart
You know I know your heart
I want to mend your heart

You broke down
Why don't you tell me from the start
You know I know your heart
I want to mend your heart

And there's no one else
Who knows me like you do
What I've done
You've done too

The walls I hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through

Open Eyes Lyrics - The XX

Open eyes see for me
Undisguised please help see (?)
It's enough, it's too much
No, I lost faith, I found love

Tonight I, I could lose the fight
But with you by my side
Everything will be alright.

(Oooh... oooh)

Closed my mouth, words fall out
Come and save, anekatips words and about
You can tell if somethin wrong
I've been here but I've been gone

And the skies don't seem so bright
With you by my side
Everything will be alright

The XX - Night Time Lyrics

Night Time Lyrics - The XX

You mean that much to me
And it's hard to show
Gets hectic inside of me
When you go
Can I confess these things
To you
I don't know
Embedded in my chest
And it
Hurts to hold

I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hold my words, keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

Night time
Sympathize
I've been working on
White lies
So I'll tell the truth
I'll give it up to you
And when the days come
It will have all been fun
We'll talk about it soon

I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam
Looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hope my words keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

Night time
Sympathize
I've been working on
White lies
So I'll tell the truth
I'll give it up to you
And when the days come
It will have all been fun
We'll talk about it soon

The XX - Missing Lyrics

Missing Lyrics - The XX

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

Will you miss me? (I, I, I, Oh)
When there's nothing to see? (I, I, I, Oh)
Tell me, how did this come to be? (I, I, I, Oh)
And now there's no hope for you and me

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

Do you still believe? (I, I, I, Oh)
In you and me? (I, I, I, Oh)
Are we all we could be? (I, I, I, Oh)
Is it meant to be?

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

The XX - Islands Lyrics

Islands Lyrics - The XX

I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave

Where would I be
IF this were to go under
It's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

So now I'll never explore

The XX - Infinity Lyrics

Infinity Lyrics - The XX

After all the time
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn

Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes

I can't give it up
To someone elses touch
Because I care too much

Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Could you tell
Things ain't worked out my way

Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
Wished for infinity
If that ain't me

Give it up
I can't give it up

I can't give it up
To someone elses touch
Because I care too much

Give it up
I can't give it up

The XX - Heart Skipped A Beat Lyrics

Heart Skipped A Beat Lyrics - The XX

Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give you so much
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you (2x)

I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough to me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard if before (2x)

The XX - Fiction Lyrics

Fiction Lyrics - The XX

Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
I wake up alone, with only daylight between us
Last night the world was beneath us, tonight comes, dear love
Were we torn apart by the break of day?
You're more than I can believe, whatever come my way

Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
Come real love, why do I refuse you?
Cause if my fear's right, I risk to lose you
And if I just might wake up alone
Bring on the night

Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
Any certainties, how am I to tell?
I know your face all too well, still I wake up alone

Fiction, when we're not together

The XX - Fantasy Lyrics

Fantasy Lyrics - The XX

For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's too soon
But this collision, came mid bloom

Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy

Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy

The XX - Crystalised Lyrics

Crystalised Lyrics - The XX

You've applied the pressure
To have me crystalized
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest

(Ahh ahh ahh) (x4)

You don't move slow
Taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lesson your affection
No

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive

Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

(Ahh ahh ahh) (x4)

Glaciers have melted to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow (5x)
