Lorde - The Man with the Axe

[00:00.33] If I had to break it down [00:04.94] I'd say it's the way you love to dance [00:12.46] Moving the furniture when my back is turned [00:21.29] The flick of the lights, and the world falls away [00:26.78] And your office job and your silver hair [00:32.91] But our shapes in the dark are [00:36.79] The reason I've stayed for all these years [00:45.59] [00:55.16] I thought I was a genius, but now I'm 22 [01:04.54] And it's starting to feel like all I know how to do is [01:12.29] Put on a suit, and take it away [01:16.37] [01:22.09] With my fistful of tunes that it's painful to play [01:29.03] Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells [01:35.50] They fill up my nights, and then they float away [01:44.29] [01:50.16] I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames [01:56.49] And a throat that fills with panic every festival day [02:03.37] Dutifully falling apart for the Princess of Norway [02:11.77] [02:17.00] But you with your doll's lashes, your infinite T-shirts [02:31.15] I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's [02:39.20] You'd take me down [02:43.33] [02:45.91] I guess I'll always be this way [02:50.99] Swallowed up by the words and halfway to space [02:58.41] But there, by the fire, you offered your hand [03:06.52] And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan [03:14.00] You felled me clean as a pine [03:21.32] [03:25.63] The man with the axe [03:31.45] And the light in his eyes [03:40.12] [03:51.00] We've been through so many hard times [03:55.42] I'm writing a love song for you, baby [04:00.26]
