Florence + The Machine - Patricia Lyrics






Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something, I'm still afraid of the dark
But you take my hand in your hand
From you the flowers grow
And do you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world...
Beautiful

You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh

You're a 'real man', and you do what you can
You only take as much as you can grab with two hands
With your big heart, you praise God above
But how's that working out for you, honey?
Do you feel loved?

She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh

Drink too much coffee and think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
Are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified
But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love

It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing
...

    I listened to the acoustic version so many times and then this came and slapped me in the face and I love both versions so much.

  31. P.... L....

    Finally! A song i can relate to.
    'Grab with both hands' is a phrase i often use.
    ;-)
    Much better than 'patricia the stripper' sorry, mr de burg!

  32. A.... ....

    If Florence wanted to break my heart, to make me feel I'm more alive that I could ever imagine, to tell me the truth of life and of the universe...she has done it.

    A.... ....

    Aitana Romero i Pastor YES

  33. P.... C....

    This song saved me. ❤

    Só cá vim para mostrar a um polaco está música para dedicar a namorada.

  35. M.... Z....

    Is such a wonderful thing to love, this part make me cry in the concert!

    M.... Z....

    Wtf????

  36. D.... -....

    Desconfie de alguém que diz que a Florence não é uma das melhores vozes do pop atual

  37. y.... m....

    the ending is the best part reminds me of hbhbhb

  38. P.... A....

    Wanna tell that special Patricia in your life something but can't get the words right? Comment it here, I'm Patricia.

  39. E.... C....

    Hearing this song live was an extracorporal experience and a honor... her voice is more than amazing...

  40. K.... ....

    The ending of this song, "it's such a wonderful thing to love," makes me imagine a sunrise over the ocean, the light sparkling off the water, the world glowing as it's pulled out of darkness. Best song on the album. I love Florence so much!

    K.... ....

    Me too! It gives me a good vibe

  41. J.... P....

    This song was amazing live.

  42. D.... -....

  48. P.... P....

    That wasn't me, it was patricia

  49. E.... L....

    Flo you're the star I want my world to circle, so come north to me please leave the stench behind!

  50. E.... L....

    With all the darkness flowing from your light I'm surprised your say you're afraid of the dark!

  51. z.... ....

    I love how Florence Fans call her goddess, fairy, witch, mother nature, and fairy. She is just our everything

    z.... ....

    You said "fairy" twice.

    z.... ....

    Dominic Snyder exactly!

    z.... ....

    Don't forget Queen!

    z.... ....

    Batzoro it is my new titles for her:

    Florence of House Welch, Saint of Camberwell, Queen of Peace, Creator of Chaos, Leader of the Machine, Slayer of Seven Devils, Bringer of Hope, Conductor of Ceremonials, Wearer of Flowing Robes.... She who can jump AND STILL hold notes....

  52. P.... W....

    Much better than "Patricia the Stripper" ! as a song with my name

  53. n.... ....

    Florence + the machine is literally life. I just stumbled across this beauty of a song

  54. D.... B....

    How big How blue How beautiful + What kind of Man = Patricia

  55. J.... J....

    I could go on and on about that bridge... every single word of it touched my heart and it conveys such a beautiful jumble of emotions. Humility, confession, faintness, honesty, and genuine love. And the way you just lose yourself in the rest of it, like everything disappointing about your life is being swept up in the wind and blowing up into the sky and away forever. I can't be the only who thinks the way she worded all of it was so cute! I feel like a kid again, curious and amazed.

  56. v.... ....

    this definitely has grown on me

  57. L.... J....

    Middle names Patricia and after the meme hated it but this song makes me love my name again

  58. s.... p....

    *w h a t a f r i c k i n g b o p*

  59. K.... ....

    My name is Partricia this song is always fun to listen to XD

  60. B.... L....

    I showed my mom this song and said that I think about her when I hear it. I was really excited for her to hear it so that she could understand how much I appreciated but for some reason, my mom is really slow and she somehow didn’t understand what Florence was even saying. It was really disappointing and ruined the whole song for me

  61. C.... C....

    Oh Florence, you've always been my "North star"

  62. E.... P....

    Why does this have 10% dislikes, I get it might not be for some people, but it's fucking objectively good. Fragile masculinity I'm guessing! I say that as a Brexit voting Tory

  63. D.... E....

    Florence awesome weltz:)

  64. S.... ....

    How strange. My mother's name is Patricia. She's a fervent believer in the Christian faith, and she has been her whole 64 years. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last summer.

    How strange.

  65. W.... ....

    You guys should of heard how vicious she sung on the weekend here in Australia "You're a 'real man', and you do what you can
    You only take as much as you can grab with two hands
    With your big heart, you praise God above
    But how's it working out for you, honey?
    Do you feel loved?" I was shook and in love.
    She said this was about Patty Smith to btw :) Thought that was cool to share!

    W.... ....

    Hearing her sing about toxic masculinity while Australia day fireworks went off in the distance in Sydney was one hell of an experience

  66. L.... N....

    You take my hand in your hand from you flowers grow
    And do you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world beautiful ✨💖
    What a beautiful lyric, I can feel the love!

  67. L.... G....

    I am Guessing Patricia is the name of Jesse's wife?

  68. L.... G....

    HEM LOCK GROVE...Poison unless you know HOW 2 Handle the WOOD BOIzzzzzzzNBERRY

  69. L.... G....

    Thank you Patty Cake.

  70. K.... B....

    "Are you afraid?
    Cause I'm terrified
    You remind me
    It's such a wonderful thing to love"

    I swear I'm not sobbing.

    K.... B....

    This stanza always makes me cry... it makes me think of my husband. He's sick and may leave me alone in this world early...😢

    K.... B....

    @Helena Love never leaves us. You'll never be alone, I promise.

    K.... B....

    Novidian Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼💗

    K.... B....

    I'm so sorry about your husband I hope he's doing better now , if not just remember the love you shared. he will always be with you. My prayers are with you

  71. M.... ....

    Why these dislikes?

  72. A.... W....

    Florence, this is great, carry on with this excellence, this breaks down like Fleetwood x

  73. J.... D....

    Florence you're my angel, you always make my heart beat louder when I'm scared it's slowing.

  78. R.... M....

    "you remind me it's such a wonderful thing to love" <-- gets me every time, the way she sings it. Reminds me of my dogs and their loving souls, wherever they are now, roaming around the cosmos. Miss you, Nessa bear and Das buddy.

  79. M.... E....

    Omg I just went to see her live and it was breathtaking, if you ever have the chance to see her don’t miss that opportunity cause she was pure perfection 😍❤️

  97. L.... ....

  98. J.... C....

    “with your big heart, you praise God above..but how’s that working out for you, honey? do you feel LOVED” 😢 tugs at my heartstrings
