Birdy - Standing In The Way Of The Light Lyrics






Through the driving rain
I have lost the words
To piece us back together
To tell you how it hurts
'Cause lately we've been breaking
All we've built so far
And I'm tired of sitting waiting
Alone in the dark

There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

And pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

Round we go in circles
Does it have to be this hard?
We can stop the fighting
If you let down your guard

There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

And pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

So come on, come on, come on
We've been living in the shadows too long
So come on, come on, come on

Just pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't' you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

You're standing in the way of the light

    Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
    Pour oil on these flames
    Speed up my heart again
    Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

    We've been living in the shadows too long
    So come on, come on, come on

    Just pull back this veil
    Turn night into day
    Don't' you know you're standing in the way of the light?
    Pour oil on these flames
    Speed up my heart again
    Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

    Pull back this veil

  16. S.... S....

    Birdy is amazing

  17. S.... R....

    Her music was a great inspiration for me when I was in a dark dark place. We keep moving in life, and I was introduced to Birdy's music when I was in the state where I was happy with my life, and my first Birdy song was People Help the People. At that moment I thought it was a really really sad song. But times change, after a year I kind of hit my rock bottom (The second one) LOL, and her music was like the Best thing for me to recover from all the grief. Her music has that deep sense of melancholy that you feel when you are really disconnected with everything around you and there is just nothingness.

  18. L.... K....
