Sanctuary
♫ Alex Clare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
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

Excuse my fucking impatience
