The Writer

You wait for a silence I wait for a word Lie next to your frame Girl unobserved You change your position And you are changing me Casting these shadows Where they shouldn't be Pre-Chorus-Ellie Goulding We're interrupted by the heat of the sun Trying to prevent what's already begun You're just a body, I can smell your skin And when I feel it, you're wearing thin Chorus-Ellie Goulding But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me Verse 2-Ellie Goulding Sat on your sofa, it's all broken springs This isn't the place for those violin strings I try out a smile and I aim it at you You must have missed it You always do Chorus-Ellie Goulding But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me Bridge-Ellie Goulding You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted You wait, I wait, casting shadows Chorus -Ellie Goulding But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me Chorus -Ellie Goulding But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist And make me out of clay Why don't you be the writer And decide the words I say 'Cause I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask Won't you try to help me
