Elephants Lyrics

I'll break your heart
To keep you far from where
All dangers start

And atmosphere
Gets crazy light
Where every breath transpires
And to a star
Space of calm about you

They call me a thief
They call me a thief
Call me a thief
Call me a thief
Common thief
Common thief
Common thief

Come in
Come in


So I know that you're not, that you're not here
Sort of lost without you
I hope that you'll find all there is that you want
Is inside you now

I'll break your heart
To keep you far from where
All danger starts
I'm on my way
I'm on my way down

I know that you're not, that you're not here
Sort of lost without you
I hope that you find all there is that you want
Is inside you now
Now

I know that
You're not here
I wonder where you are

In the dark we are waiting for you
With your dying need for their attention
Hold on tight now, we won't let you fall

We are waiting for you
With your dying need for their attention
Hold on tight now, we won't let you fall

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
