Guns And Horses
♫ Ellie Goulding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it doesn't faze me
You're on time
You move so fast makes me feel lazy
Let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
But every fire is a lesson learned
I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open, heaven knows
You're so worth it
You are
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would, I would, I would
Let's type words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently
I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would, I would, I would
It's time to come clean,
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
The maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would, I would, I would
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
In "Guns and Horses," Ellie Goulding sings about a relationship that she wants to take to the next level. She compares the speed at which her partner moves to that of a horse and notes that it doesn't faze her. She suggests that they join forces, with guns and horses representing strength and speed, to overcome any obstacles they may encounter. She acknowledges that her partner has been hurt in the past, but believes that every fire is a lesson learned.
In the second verse, Goulding talks about hiding behind screens and pretending not to care, but the reality is that they have found each other and their connection is worth it. She wishes that she could feel everything for her partner and erase their pain so that they could feel the same way about her. She sings about the need to come clean and make sense of everything so that they can discover who they truly are together. She finishes by expressing her willingness to do anything for her partner, to be all that they need, and to make them feel the same way about her.

You're so quiet
Your lack of words does not bother me
But it doesn't faze me
I am not affected by your silence
You're on time
You always arrive punctually
You move so fast makes me feel lazy
Your quick pace highlights my own laziness
Let's join forces
Let us combine our efforts
We've got our guns and horses
We are equipped with the necessary tools and skills
I know you've been burned
I understand you have been hurt before
But every fire is a lesson learned
Every difficult experience provides a valuable lesson
I left my house
I departed from my home
Left my clothes
I left my clothing behind
Door wide open, heaven knows
I left my door open, without care for the outcome
You're so worth it
You are deserving of my effort
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I desire to experience everything on your behalf
I wish I could be it all for you
I aspire to be all that you need
If I could erase the pain
If I could eliminate your pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
You might share my feelings if your pain was gone
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would do anything for you
Let's type words
Let us communicate through technology
'Cause they amount to nothing
Because words can be meaningless
Play it down
Act as though it is not a big deal
Pretend you can't take what you found
Pretend you are not affected by what you have discovered
But you found me
You have discovered me
On a screen you sit at permanently
You are constantly connected through technology
It's time to come clean
It is time to be honest
And make sense of everything
To understand and gain clarity
It's time that we found out who we are
We need to discover our true identities
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
Because in my darkest moments
I see your face in every star
I think of you in everything that brings light in my life
I'd do it all for you
I am willing to do anything for you

High, high, high, high
High, high, high
Like a star, you lead the way
Grab my heart and pull me far from yesterday
Pick me up, our bodies bendin' into shape
They don't even see us leavin' this thin air that we're breathin'
It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by your sun
Blinded by your sun
Oh, it hurts so amazing
My body ablaze from this heat we're creating tonight
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
Holdin' on and on and on
I'm free fallin' when I'm slippin' from your arms
Hold me tight and show me I'm the one you want
'Cause it feels so good not knowing exactly where we're goin'
It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by your sun
Blinded by your sun
Oh, it hurts so amazing
My body ablaze from this heat we're creating tonight
You take me higher than heaven above (heaven)
Heaven above (heaven)
You take me high, high, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high, you take me higher (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high
It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive
You take me higher than heaven above (take me higher)
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by your sun
Blinded by your sun
You take me high, high, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high, higher than heaven (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high
You take me higher than heaven

Lyrics:
High, high
High, high
Like a star, you lead the way
Take my heart and pull me far from yesterday
Meet me up above, spinnin' in a ship
They don't even see us leavin' this thin air that we're breathin'
It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by the Sun
Blinded by thе Sun
Oh, it hurts so amazing
My body ablazed from this heat we'rе creating tonight
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
Holdin' on and on and on
I'm free fallin' when I'm slippin' from your arms
Hold me tight and show me I'm the one you want
'Cause it feels so good and I know it, exactly where we're goin'
It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by the Sun
Blinded by the Sun
Oh, it hurts so amazing
My body ablazed from this heat we're creating tonight
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me high, high, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high
You take me higher than heaven
High, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high
It's so hard to see
We're lost in the moonlight
Gotta leave it all behind
And forget we're alive
You take me higher than heaven above
Heaven above
You take me higher, blinded by the Sun
Blinded by the Sun
You take me high, high, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high
You take me higher than heaven
High, high, high (you take me higher than heaven)
High, high, high
You take me higher than heaven

Goulding's Heaven
Ellie Goulding is literally one of the most talented musicians, a proper Pop Goddess in a sense delivering top tier music for over a decade. All of her albums are so unique & proves her versatility and so I'm so excited for this one - Higher Than Heaven.
Philipp Cotta
I think this album won't be that commercial like it should. But i hear a lot of functionalism of these beats from the recordings on this album, which are online here on youtube Hope the industry will learn to pay for functionalism and not for most sold records. I think there are intelligent movements in worldwide enviroment and industries only from music. And i think she isnt that underrated by those people who understand honest music. I think there are a few haters who controls that the range she has is that much shrinked.
Rebekah Hartman
Singers are not goddesses. Just humans.
Leviathan Productions
She channels with the proper demons, that's all, anyone into dark magic can perform this way.. 😅
Riskhi Bestari
@Philipp Cotta I agree with you, since I discover ellie, i never expect her to be big diva icon or anything. she just know how to make good pop record.
