Sanctuary
♫ Alex Clare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me broken
So many tears I cried for you.
Tried to understand
All that we've been through

Lost, confused
Is this hope? Abuse?
I'll still shelter you,
Keep you warm
Protect you from the storm
Holding you close to my heart

I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
And I will find sanctuary

Wrapped around you
The whole world just disappears
Time stands still when I'm with you
A moment feels like years

I feel confused
There's so much to lose.
My head is fighting with my heart,
It feels so torn apart

Holding you close to my heart

I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
And I will find sanctuary

Just making it up as I go along
Feels so right when I'm with you,
But I know it's wrong.

I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms




I will find sanctuary in your open arms
And I will find sanctuary.

Lyrics

I don't wanna come out strange
Excuse the look on my face
I'm tryin' my best to behave

Is it gonna sound cliché
Feel like we should be closer
Tomorrow I wanna know you

I don't wanna know what you're drinkin'
I just wanna know what you're thinkin'
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
I don't wanna stand up again
Show me everything that you're feeling
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
Fuck all of the small talk
Give me all the real stuff
Let's start
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
Tell me all your secrets
Kiss me like you mean it
Let's start
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night

Oh oh oh...

Don't know how long I've been waiting
For change my life conversation
Could you change my life
Could you do it tonight
Excuse my fucking impatience
I'm just trynna get you naked
Body to mind
Your body to mind

I don't wanna know what you're drinkin'
I just wanna know what you're thinkin'
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
I don't wanna stand up again
Show me everything that you're feeling
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
Fuck all of the small talk
Give me all the real stuff
Let's start
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
Tell me all your secrets
Kiss me like you mean it
Let's start
At the end of the night
At the end of the night
