Ellie Goulding - The Writer Lyrics
You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent
What's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
Sat on your sofa
It's all broken springs
This isn't the place for
Those violin strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
‘Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it’s too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it’s too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?
Why don’t you be the artist
And make me out of clay?
Why don’t you be the writer?
And decide the words I say?
‘Cause I’d rather pretend
I’ll still be there at the end
Only it’s too hard to ask
Won't you try to help me?

I am so obsess with her that I end up dreaming about her all night once upon a time.
Can't believe this is nearly 10 years old in just less than a year, feels like yesterday. Still love with it in, anyone else here 2019 vibing away to this amazing song still? 💚
I love this Ellie :((

I discover this married 32 years old woman through a Lithuanian Jewish girl. I and Carl I Hagen believe that Crimea Belongs to mighty neighbor of ours.
Still listening to this 10/3/19! One of her best and my favorites :)

Клипы от Ellie Goulding очаровывают,у неё харизма зашкаливает запредельно

You can't sell that house anymore as our dynasty.

Ooow my gosh What a splendide Ellie with her golden voice eeen & I'm still hearing of this her beautiful & amazing song in 2019 which I was searching 4or is finally here is gre8 & I'm glad .🔝👍🍁

This song encourages me to be a writer because I do it for the love of it.
Nice Song 😢
😢😭
I love you .
Hello Ellie 😀 you're beautiful woman.
alguien que escuche esta obra de arte en 2019 que hable español
I like u ellie
As much as I’m proud of her achievements I miss this Ellie so much. She was so humble and effortlessly beautiful, her voice was and always will be unique but her music was even more so. Now the music she puts out sounds very samey and I feel like she’s lost her individuality.
Sadly she got Americanised.
8 years since I first heard this song 😳 fell in love with her voice since then 😍
Does anyones knows where this video was shooted?and thank you.
Somewhere in rural England I'm guessing
It was taken at Happisburgh coast, and lighthouse. My local village! It’s a lovely place in north Norfolk :)
Still here : ) #2019
Elle is doing better
Most british looking woman lol
You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lie next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
And you are changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent what's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it, you're wearing thin
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me
Sat on your sofa, it's all broken springs
This isn't the place for those violin strings
I try out a smile and I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me
