This is track number six from the debut album Communion. This version features some variations to the lyrics, from the initial track, that was released in 2014 on the EP, Real.
[Verse 1]
Throw your heart to me
Let it fall and hit the ground
Let it go, oh-oh-oh
Your timing was so wrong
I just want to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh...
And I, yeah, I've got the lines, I've got the lines
Oh, it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
[Chorus]
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them again
[Verse 2]
And it starts again
You come over with your friends
I don't wanna talk to them
And all I really want is to start again
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh...
And I, yeah, I've got the lines, I've got the lines
Oh, it's brighter this time
This type of mine
This disguise
Oh, you talk, ooh, to me
[Chorus]
Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them again
[Bridge]
'Cause I want to be bigger than life
Hurt you, hurt you
'Cause I want to be bigger than life
Hurt you, hurt you
[Chorus]
And nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
And I am drawing pictures, I'm evading
I will not use them
I will not use them
[Outro]
No, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
I can see through them
I can see through them
