[Verse 1]
There's no one else, could ever hold me like you do
There's nowhere else, that I'd rather be than with you
They call us lucky, but I think we might be cursed
'Cause the way you love me
I could drink the river dry and still die of thirst
[Chorus]
Give me, give me shelter from the storm
Give me, give me shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta, where the river's torn
But I'll be whole
As long as I'm yours
Yours
[Verse 2]
There's no way out, the city sinks into the sea
But if we go down, at least I'm in good company
They call us hasty, and I think they might be right
But I know that I'd be crazy
Not to wanna be the one to keep you up all night
[Chorus]
Give me, give me shelter from the storm
Give me, give me shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta, where the river's torn
But I'll be whole
As long as I'm yours
As long as I'm yours
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
I don't wanna think about a life without you
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
I don't wanna go to war, but I'm about to
[Chorus]
Give me, give me shelter from the storm
Give me, give me shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta, where the river's torn
But I'll be whole
As long as I'm yours (As long as I'm yours)
Give me, give me shelter from the storm (As long as I'm yours)
Give me, give me shelter, keep me warm (As long as I'm yours)
Come kiss me by the delta, where the river's torn (Oh, no, no, no)
But I'll be whole (Oh)
As long as I'm yours
[Refrain]
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
I don't wanna think about a life without you
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
I don't wanna go to war, but I'm about to

In an interview with Coup De Main, Finneas recalls:
‘Shelter’ is a song I wrote a long time ago, I wrote it around the same time I wrote ‘Break My Heart Again’, which was in 2016. I wrote it to send to Avicii – I’d heard that he was looking for songs for one of his last couple of EPs, which obvious...
In an interview with Pitchfork, Finneas explained:
I recorded the demo on a really plunky synthesizer. I like the [imitates synth sound]. And it just didn’t work on the synth that I had it on. It ended up not working on acoustic guitar unless I played all of the notes super high on the neck and the...
