1
Take it all away
Breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of a car with you I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way, -way)
Place a kiss on my cheekbone
Then you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way, -way)
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold to anything
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way)
Breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of a car with you I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way, -way)
Place a kiss on my cheekbone
Then you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way, -way)
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold to anything
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away (-way, -way, -way, -way)

I believe the lyric book is an outdated version of the lyrics. Like they were the original/outline of what she wanted, but when she recorded she went with what she liked or sounded better. Explosions is the key because some parts are >really< different, but also because it happened on the Lights album as well.
