Bloc Party. - Ion Square Lyrics






Ion square, perspex swings
I breathe out, you breathe in
Permanent midnight
Our love, our love
How we've come to depend
On each other to the end
The space between us has disappeared
You finish my, you finish my words for me

I remember how it began
So many great days in a row
Barefoot on Bishopsgate
Trying to find Blake's grave
If we could stay like this in a silver foil
Trapped in amber for a life
Permanent midnight
Our love, our love

I carry your heart here with me
I carry it in my heart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart

Who said unbroken happiness
Is a bore, is a bore?
Who said it, my love? I don't mind it
Anymore, anymore
And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed
Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night
And the hunger of those early years will never return
But I don't mind, I don't mind
'Cause I love my mind when I'm fucking you
Slowed down to a crawl
Years of crime and the bread line
Have not at all dimmed your shine
So let's stay in, let the sofa be our car
Let's stay in, let the TV be our stars
I found my dancing shoes but they don't fit
All the bright lights do is bore me
They bore me

I carry your heart here with me
I carry it in my heart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart

    Ion square, perspex swings
    I breathe out, you breathe in
    Permanent midnight
    Our love, our love
    How we've come to depend
    On each other to the end
    The space between us has disappeared
    You finish my, you finish my words for me
    I remember how it began
    So many great days in a row
    Barefoot on Bishopsgate
    Trying to find Blake's grave
    If we could stay like this in a silver foil
    Trapped in amber for a life
    Permanent midnight
    Our love, our love
    I carry your heart here with me
    I carry it in my heart
    I carry your heart with me
    I carry it in my heart
    Who said unbroken happiness
    Is a bore, is a bore?
    Who said it, my love?

    I carry your heart here with me
    I carry it in my heart
    I carry your heart with me
    I carry it in my heart

    I have nothing but love for this song. It's always grabbing me, touching my heart in places I thought didn't exist anymore, making me shout the chorus louder than Kele... And suddenly, I remember sitting in the middle of a crowded bus!

  5. s.... D....

    Music isnt good anymore

  10. S.... M....

    This was my song back in 08, a time when I knew myself and loved more, more than I do now... This song is transcendent!!

  11. t.... B....

    what a beautiful song.

    I love how, after most of the other songs from this album describe loss and heartbreak, this ends the experience with a tribute to familiarity and love.

    god, Bloc Party are amazing.

    <3 las tardes de lluvia nunca van a volvieron a ser las mismas ni significar tanto. como me dejaste marcada ... ojala estés donde quieras. nunca te voy a perdonar por dejarme, pero siempre voy a llevar tu corazón conmigo.

  27. p.... ....

    ‘Ion Square’ is definitely one of my all time favourite Bloc Party songs. Why? Listen to the way that this song just builds, and builds! The entire 6 minute track is like one great crescendo. I love the way even Kele’s voice builds all the way through until he’s practically yelling out the words at the end. In a way it kind of reminds me of LCD Soundsystem's ‘All My Friends’. This is the perfect love song. #punkflop #trackdrops #blocparty #lcdsoundsystem http://trackdrops.com/2016/03/01/bloc-party-ion-square/

  28. s.... y....

  31. K.... L....

    Trapped in amber for a life
    Permanent midnight
    Our love, our love =D! love it!!

  32. h.... ....

    the allusion to ee cummings :-)

  33. W.... o....

    Songs like this give faith that love exists.

  34. M.... ....

    This is the greatest love song I've ever heard.  It does not dream of ideals, but rather adorns love after the luster has faded.
    Purely brilliant!

    M.... ....

    It's not a bad song but for amazing love lyrics, listen to In An! by the Devin Townsend Project. It actually made me and my gf cry as the lyrics summed up how we both felt perfectly.

    M.... ....

    @Brisinger Tudders should have said In Ah!, not In An!

    M.... ....

    Modeststroke Deffo..made my year 2008

  35. d.... ....
