Running Hands with the Night
The Joy Formidable

The first picture

Our first picture

Still for a second wrapped in a whisper with you

Viva the Seine!

Run the bridges

Go down these boulevards again

With you, they feel so different

It's like nothing here, nothing starts

Then you and me, all at once

I'm asking, you're waiting

I'm smiling

To let you know

This city is calling

Springs open and holds me now

Running hands with the night

My shoulders, the streets

Pull me back in the light

You're gonna take me back

You're gonna take me back

Back to a place that I nearly forgot

I've been pulled lace

And I've felt over

I've felt pity's touch

Not just another day

Just another's luck

Look what it did to us

It's that slow arm of happiness, you and me holding on

I'm asking, you're waiting

I'm smiling

To let you know

This city is calling

Springs open and holds me now

Running hands with the night

My shoulders, the streets

Pull me back in the light

Just spend their time

Those empty rooms emptying, they take a while

But it's a quiet fall

Just slip away the last mark on the wall

I want to take a turn

I want to take this turn

End up sorry when midnight burns

Out of the window, out of this madness

Help me keep this chance together

It's slipping like rain on glass

It's slipping like a twisted dance

It's dying in an empty vase

It's dying 'cause you tried so hard

I'm calling home - there's no one waiting

But you wanna sleep when it all says nothing

And you wanna stop and the cord's been cut

¿Cause you were never connected

It had already dropped

Got this pain in my chest

An arm that's numb

And he's waiting to be blown back

Back tot he sun where he belongs

I'm frightened

I'm frightened

That chance has drowned in grey

I'm closing, yeah

I'm closing

'Cause love has turned to pearls

And I said thank you for the one-way steps

They told me: There's nothing left

But they sent the salvos down

So nobody will mind

My orphaned heart got taken in

That wasn't a moment of kindness

Little bird

Don't just sit there

Look long enough

There's sadness everywhere

Open your eyes, feel something new, don't fall from the sky

Before this city finds you

This city found you

In this city, you're not lost

This city found you

Carry on, carry on, 'cause I'm gone

This city found you

In this city, you're not lost

This city found you
