Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Say goodbye on a night like this

If it's the last thing we ever do

You never looked as lost as this

Sometimes it doesn't even look like you

[Pre-Chorus 1]

It goes dark, it goes darker still

Please stay

But I watch you like I'm made of stone

As you walk away

[Chorus 1]

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night

A witch hunt for another girl

For always and ever is always for you

Your trust, the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

[Verse 2]

Say hello on a day like today

Say it every time you move

The way that you look at me now

Makes me wish I was you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

It goes deep, it goes deeper still

This touch

And the smile and the shake of your head

And the smile and the shake of your head

[Chorus 2]

I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night

Can’t stand here like this anymore

For always and ever is always for you

I want it to be perfect like before

[Bridge]

Oh ho ho, I want to change it all

Oh ho ho, I want to change

[Chorus 2]

I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night

Can’t stand here like this anymore

For always and ever is always for you

I want it to be perfect like before

[Outro]

Oh ho ho, I want to change it all

Oh ho ho, I want to change

Oh ho ho, I want to change it all

Oh ho ho, I want to change
