Kimbra - The Golden Echo Album Lyrics

Teen Heat

[Verse 1:]
I'm down, I'm out
Have my feet on the ground
But I'm starting to see things different
I'm thinking hard
Breathing from head, not heart
But I don't want ruin' a good thing

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Can we lose ourselves in the moment?
Break ourselves to the open?
Make ourselves in the heat of the moment?

[Chorus 1:]
If I cannot stop
There is going to be no coming back
Each time that you stop
I can only think about running back
Cause I don't want to die, without knowing what it's like
To move inside you
That friction pulling me, started everything
And it feels so good

[Verse 2:]
Back to sittin'
Gotta stay strong and censor
Cause I made that promise for so long
Being holdin' back
Wanna keep this sacrosanct
But we can't keep our hands from moving

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Can we lose ourselves in the moment?
Break ourselves in the open?
Make ourselves in the heat of the moment?

[Chorus 2:]
If I cannot stop
There is going to be no coming back
Each time that you stop
I can only think about running back
Cause I don't want to die, without knowing what it's like
To touch everything
That friction pulling me, started everything
And it feels so good

[Outro:]
Move my hands to the shoulder
Feel my prince till the fall, yeah
Take ourselves to the heat of the moment
Swift, I cannot stop

90's Music

I've been driving round in my car
Rolled down the window beside ya
Blaring out loud of the broken speaker
(Everyday be listening to 90s music)

From that day we'd only be with one another
Gang hangs, bust the jams, meet my mother
There was nothing that could come between us
(Teens tearing up the streets)

(Everyday be listening to 90s music)

Stones at my window, like Romeo
Shot by Cupid with the bow and arrow
Old school, make me drool, roses at my door
(Everyday be listening to 90s music)

Romance from the book, sun-drunk desire
Summer night star-gaze, hands to the sky
You moved to the burbs, many words you meant
(Came back in a year and it just felt different)

[Pre Chorus:]
Some old song I know
Won't get out of my head
Though the feeling's gone
The love ain't disappeared

[Chorus:]
But I've been missing what you love like, love like
I've been missing what you love like, love like
I remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing but it don't mean we can't spend
Time listening to...
(Everyday be listening to 90s music)

[Hook:]
MJ & Mariah
Nirvana & Aaliyah
R. Kelly & Mary Blige
TLC & Left Eye

Out to find me a house with the white picket fence
Wedded, tied to a new life present tense
Stopped at the drive-in of our spring fling
And then the radio played that song we used to sing

Hey - sometimes I think about it
Oh - you know I think about it
Hey - sometimes I think about it
(After all these years it just felt different)

[Pre Chorus]

[Chorus:]
But I've been missing what you love like, love like
I've been missing what you love like, love like
I remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing but it don't mean we can't spend
Don't remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing what you love like, love like
I remember what you love like, love like
I've been missing but it don't mean we can't spend
Time listening to...
(Everyday be listening to 90s music)

[Hook x2]

(Everyday be listening to 90s music)
(Music!)

Carolina

I'm gonna ride to Carolina
Drive for miles, till I see the light
Find my feet in Carolina
Some man I'll meet to take my mind off ya

My hearts on fire for Carolina
Never been but I've seen the skyline
In a postcard from Delilah
She's got it made and I got my mind made up

But in my heart I know it's time to come back
(I feel it, I feel it)
Cos you're the home I never find off the beaten track
(I feel it)
In my heart I know I can't keep running away
(I feel it, I feel it)
I'm always travelling fast to nowhere
(I feel it)

Come get a new life in Carolina
I don't know why but I'll soon find out
I'll find a house with an ocean view
Work good hours and be somebody new

But in my heart I know it's time to come back
(I feel it, I feel it)
Cos you're the home I never find off the beaten track
(I feel it)
In my heart I know I can't keep running away
(I feel it, I feel it)
I'm always travelling fast to nowhere
(I feel it)

Goldmine

[Verse 1:]
(Move) you can't touch it with your two hands
You can't find it with the third eye
I've been thirsting in the mud lands
For a well, it can't run dry, oh
Passed down to me through the wind
And in the silence of the white sound
It's always hidden in the dark night
Dug up from the cold ground

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
But it goes over the heart, and over the head
Over and above all the words they said
Be still my heart
Be still my head

[Hook:]
Cause I got a goldmine, it's all mine
Nobody can touch this gold of mine
I got a goldmine, it's all mine
Nobody can touch this gold of mine
I got a goldmine, it's all mine
Nobody can touch this gold of mine
It's been through the brimstone, been through the fire
Nobody can touch this gold of mine

[Verse 2:]
And it's burning in the furnace
And the fire in the third eye
No you won't find it on the surface
It rises out of the war cry

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
This goes over the heart, over the head
Go and get past all the words they said
Be still in your heart
Still in your head

[Hook]

[Bridge:]
They're all runnin' to the gold rush
They're all runnin' to the river
Hey, don't speak loud, keep it hushed
Cause we about to be delivered, ooh

[Hook]

[Outro:]
I got a goldmine [x3]

Miracle

I'm rising up
Sometimes I wanna get away
But from the moment I met ya
I ran into fate
I ran into a brighter day

Like a cast away
Sometimes I feel so separated
But I could never forget ya
That moonshine smile
Yeah you shine a little light on me

Send me your love again, cos you're my miracle, miracle, miracle
Yeah you got me straight believing in a miracle, miracle, miracle
When I forget that feeling you're my miracle, miracle, miracle
So send me your love again, cos you're my miracle, miracle, miracle

I'm rising up
Sometimes I feel so far away
But its like somebody sent ya
And I ran into fate
I ran into a brighter day

Now I'm fast awake
You're love is like a revelator
Or a divine intervention
No way to explain
What's happening inside of me

Send me your love again, cos you're my miracle, miracle, miracle
Yeah you got me straight believing in a miracle, miracle, miracle
When I forget that feeling you're my miracle, miracle, miracle
So send me your love again, cos you're my miracle, miracle, miracle

You've got me with my hands up!
You've got me seeing visions of love!

Yeah you've got me with my hands above my head
I never thought I'd be believing again

Send me your love again, cos you're my miracle, miracle, miracle
Yeah you got me straight believing in a miracle, miracle, miracle
When I forget that feeling you're my miracle, miracle, miracle
So send me your love again, cos you're my miracle, miracle, miracle

Rescue Him

The loaded guns
And poison darts
He always aims for the heart

Knows how to hurt me
Knows how to win
His love's a kick in the shins

I never thought we'd go together
But now I never say 'never'
Cos when he falls I see the boy-child
(I can't help but sympathize)

So I will rescue him
I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I'll let him in
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin'
(Seventy times seven)

So I will rescue him
I will rescue him
no matter what the cost is
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin'
(Seventy times seven)

1,2,3,4,5 I'm on your side, my patience wont tire with you
5, 6 7 Baby up to eleven, I'll never be tired of you

They see my silence
See my restraint
They think I'm crazy for waiting

For the sun to rise
Without an end
They only see his unfaithfulness

But I have golden eyes on my man
I see his soul without all the sin

They think I'm wasting my time
Making a home, in his calamity
But I can't let go

I will rescue him
I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I'll let him in
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin'
(Seventy times seven)

I will rescue him
i will rescue him
no matter what the cost is
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin'
(Seventy times seven)

1,2,3,4,5 I'm on your side, my patience wont tire with you
5, 6 7 Baby up to eleven, I'll never be tired of you

Make me long for the song you sing!
And I don't care if you're undeserving!
Cos I know that your heart is hurting
But no one can ever help the way I feel!

I will rescue him
I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I'll let him in
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin'
(Seventy times seven)

I will rescue him
i will rescue him
no matter what the cost is
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin'
(Seventy times seven)

1,2,3,4,5 I'm on your side, my patience wont tire with you...

Madhouse

Devils don't lie
They just fuel the heart's fire for more, more

Devils don't pry
They just wait until you want a bit more, more

I don't want lies
I want open skies
I want doors, doors

But the pressure keeps prying
There's an open fire at the core, core

Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making

Chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(Don't you leave me alone)
In the chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(I'm terrorizing everything)

The way we get by
Is to lie, lie, lie
A bit more, more

Way we get high
Is get high on pride
A bit more, more

You go deep inside
No room for the light
In these four walls

Hunting for your dream
Down the cocaine streets
Give me more, more

Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making

Chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(Don't you leave me alone)
In the chaos and disorder!
I'm a mess then I'm a messiah
(I'm terrorizing everything)

Inside of my head
It's a madhouse that you're making
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse that you're making
Breaking inside of me

We gotta find that light shining in the hard times
Gotta find that light shining in the dark times
Gotta find that light shining in the hard times
Gotta find that light shining in the dark times

Oh hear the sound of the madhouse
Oh hear the sound of the madhouse
Breaking inside of me

Whats that clack clack? Gotta get outta here
Rather be caught dead than die in here!

Everlovin' Ya

How long have you been hiding underneath it all?
My heart is lying to myself and straight to yours

What is the way to say it?
There seems no perfect way to play it

But baby I can't delay it no more
The fact is all this time, been everlovin' ya

Waiting till we are alone
Been clicking my heels in the hope that I ain't already shown it
Now that she's left you alone
Can I tell you how I've felt all along?

What is it about you?
(Don't tell me - Cos I don't wanna know)
What is it about you?
(I've never met nobody quite like ya)
What is it about you?
(Don't tell me - Cos I don't wanna know)
What is it about you?
(Cos I'll be everlovin' ya)

So long I've been pining
Underneath it all
Oh girl, I've been lying
To myself and straight to her
What is the way to fake it
There seems no perfect way to play it
But baby I can't delay it no more
The fact is all this time, been everlovin' ya

Waiting till we are alone
Nobody here needs to know, I've already shown it
Now that I'm out on my own
Can I tell you how I've felt all along?

What is it about you?
(Don't tell me - Cos I don't wanna know)
What is it about you?
(I've never met nobody quite like ya)
What is it about you?
(Don't tell me - Cos I don't wanna know)
What is it about you?
(Cos I'll be everlovin' ya)

As You Are

I won't give it back again
I won't give it back to you
I won't give that part again
I won't love another you

Cos honey that hour glass got me thinking
You ain't no friend of mine
We were moving so fast and you got me thinking
Why not keep chasing time?
I said 'Honey I wanna find somewhere sacred,
away from your flashing lights'
Honey I was yours in the dark of the night

Come as you are
Come let me take a picture
Come as you are

I won't give it back again
More that I'm giving, the more you take
I'm feeling forced into the intimate
With every move I make into your frame

Come on take anything you like

Cos honey that hourglass got me thinking
You ain't no friend of mine
We were moving so fast and the sand was sinking
Why not keep chasing time?
Honey I wanna feel something sacred,
away from your flashing lights
Honey I was yours in the dark of the night

Come as you are
Come let me take a picture
Come as you are

Come inside, a little to the right
Get comfortable, you're a natural
Come inside, it'll be alright

Love comes at a cost
But nothing's ever lost
It's just another paradox
The dark was just never just for us

Take another fast
Try to make it last
But this too my love shall pass
The dark was just never just for us

And it all ends the same
Cos in time everything must change

Take another fast
Try to make it last if you want to
But in time everything must go

Love In High Places

I will be your savior
When no one'll will save you
Be your shining light
Galvanize
Make you burn all up inside

But there's a space that I'm saving
To keep me strong
There is a place that I'm saving
We can't stay for long

I will be your lotus
Growing slow, so you don't notice
Out of the deadwood, the deceased
Look close then you'll find me

There's a space that I'm saving
Gotta keep it strong
There is a place that I'm craving
We can't stay for long

Find me in the forest in the fire
Find me in the midst of your desire
I got love in high places
Love in high places
Find me in the secrets, in the lies
Find me in the darkest place
And in the light
I got a Love in High Places
I see the Love in all the faces

I will be your danger
When you think nothing can change ya
It's pyrotechnical, physical
The way I rock your manger

But there's a space that I'm saving
To keep me strong
There is a path that I'm paving
'Cause we can't stay for long

Find me in the forest in the fire
Find me in the midst of your desire
I got love in high places
Love in high places
Find me in the sacred ?nd the pain
Find me in the dry earth, in the rain
I got love in high places
I see your love in all places

Love will surely break your heart
Then set you free

Nobody But You

Don't wanna be a broken record
Don't wanna sing the same refrain
But I cant stop, I can't stop
I'm doing it again

I don't wanna fight the feeling
But it keeps fighting me
I can't stop I can't stop
Love is frightening

I know I got you going in circles
And you've be running through my mind
I think I've finally found the nerve this time

To say 'Baby!
I don't want nobody but you!'
Cos there ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I'm not gonna get it confused!
I'll come running with my heart on the line
I'm gonna give it all to you this time

Maybe I'm a little hasty
A little bit ahead of myself
But I can't stop, I can't stop
I need your help

My mind is like a rollercoaster
But maybe you should ride with me
No I can't stop, I can't stop
It's so exciting!

I know I had you going in circles
I've been swinging you from side to side
I think I've finally found the nerve this time

To say 'Baby!
I don't want nobody but you!'
Cos there ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I'm not gonna get it confused!
I'll come running with my heart on the line
I'm gonna give it all to you this time

Listen, I stumble and I fall
I get so emotional
The voices in my head
They made me scared
But I needed some time
Just to make up my mind
But now your voice is clear to me
It's singin' in my ear

'Baby!
I don't want nobody but you!'
Cos there ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I'm not gonna get it confused!
I'll come running with my heart on the line
I'm gonna give it all to you this time

Upside down now
Baby, don't want nobody but you
Cos there ain't nobody
Upside down now
Baby, don't want nobody but you
Cos there ain't nobody

Waltz Me To The Grave

[Verse 1:]
Remember oceans
Violet parasols
Black sand beach, where we'd lay
You had stones for irises
I was so sure it was fate
Sea was lapdancing the tide
He said "Don't look back, we're heading south"
I loved this world with all I had
Now I'm ready to go

[Chorus:]
Waltz me to the grave
Savour every moment we've made
Dance me down to the ground that I came from
Waltz me to the grave
Waltz me into sleep that won't wake
Spin me round to the sound that I came from

[Post-Chorus:]
Holy head of stone
Finally I am found
So dance me down to the ground

[Verse 2:]
Remember floating on lakes of evergreen
So much love and disarray
You were always my unrest
But I was so sure it was fate
Sea was lapdancing the tide
He said "Don't look back, come with us now"
I loved this world with all I had
Now I'm ready to go

[Chorus:]
Waltz me to the grave
Savor every moment that's made
Dance me down to the ground that I came from
Waltz me to the grave
Life was not a moment of grace
Spin me round to the sound that I came from

[Post-Chorus:]
Holy head of stone
Finally I am found
So dance me down to the ground

[Break]

[Outro:]
Waltz me to the grave
Waltz me into sleep that won't
Waltz me to the grave
Life was not a moment of grace

Slum Love

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Work, work work work, work work work
It's all about work, work work work, work work work
It's all about work, work work work, work work work
It's all about work, work work work, work work work

Hey, I never wanna be a millionaire
But I could use a break
You've had me pumpin' iron
Workin' the mines from the night until the break of day
Baby, shackles on my ankles
Your ropes 'round my hands
This ain't some kind of game
Cause, you're too tired for that

Why do I have to always pick up
The pieces of your heart, yep (Hey!)
Why do you always have to be
So derogatory and tear me apart (Hey!)
My friends all think we are in love
Reading horoscopes like they were gospel
We're living in the first world but you
Can make a third worker out of me

Slum Love
Some kind of Slum Love
Some kind of Slum Love
Some kind of Slum Love

(Whoa!)
I never wanted a Utopia
Or a rise and demise
It's like I'm walking the wire
You keep feeding the fire with
Your doubts about fidelity
You're a little bit older
But that don't mean a thing
We still bicker like children
That make up and do it all again

Why do I always have to be the
Heroine or the Rescuer
Why do I always fall for you when
You're making breakfast or driving my car
They promised us the world, they told us
We'd find a love unconditional
Maybe I should just count my lucky stars
And be glad I have someone

When I shout, you've learned to scream (Ah!)
Toxic passion, then epiphany oh!

Slum Love
Some kind of Slum Love
Some kind of Slum Love
Some kind of Slum Love

Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile
Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile
Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile
Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile

Honey, I've been dreaming of us
Those yellow bricks wanted to lead me out from "Feeling Lost"
Now they're selling "12 Steps To The Stars"
Stare-on smiles and matching files of candy condescending eyes

Lead me out of the half-measures

Cause all my life just want to be loved
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long ride
All my life just want to be loved
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long ride
And I'm high on Sugar Sugar Lies
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long long long
(Sugar Sugar Lies)
(Na na na na na!)
(For the long long long long)

Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile
Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile
Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile
Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile

Honey I've got dreams to waste
That happy ever in the afterwords of yesterday
So many needles stuck in the hay
They say "Forever" but they mean "Until he runs away"

Lead me out of the half-measures

Cause all my life just want to be loved
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long ride
All my life just want to be loved
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long ride
And I'm high on Sugar Sugar Lies
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long long long
(Sugar Sugar Lies)
(Na na na na na!)
(For the long long long long)

(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)

Cause all my life just want to be loved
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long while
All my life just want to be loved
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long while
And I'm high on Sugar Sugar Lies
(Na na na na na!)
For the long long long long
(Sugar Sugar Lies)
(Na na na na na!)
(For the long long long long)

Sugar Lies, Sugar Lies, Smile

The Magic Hour

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

You say the older I get, the better I was
Truth from a distance, but I still don't measure up
I thought I could handle my words to your degree
They keep falling out of me like rose petals at the scene

Fate won't change, it knows me by name
It calls and says
"Sell your soul to try"
"Understand it all"

In the light of The Magic Hour
Everything just seems to just slow right down
The more I know, The less I know
(And they're still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And they're still dancing)
Don't know where I'm going like I'm alone
(And they're still dancing)

I met a normal man underground
He had nothing to care about
You're the dark skip to the top
Beat out by the world, I gotta say
There's a faded quarry livin' on my face

Fate won't change, it knows me by name
It calls and says
"Sell your soul to try"
"Understand it all"

In the light of The Magic Hour
Everything just seems to just slow right down
The more I know, The less I know
(And they're still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And they're still dancing)
Your baby down, you're on the ground
(But I'm still dancing)

Oh!
Been tryna add it up
But it's another game
No, life ain't fair
(It's vanity)
Crowded streets all treat you the same
Feet don't fail me now
I click my heels 3 times
(Off of the ground)
I lose, get lost
But, I'm runnin' near the crowds

Now my fate won't change, it knows me by name
And it calls when I sell my soul
And try to understand it all

In the light of The Magic Hour
Everything seems to slow right down
The more I know, The less I know
(And they're still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And they're still dancing)
The more I know, The less I know
(And I'm still dancing)

And they're still dancing
(The more I know, The less I know)
And they're still dancing
(I gotta go, The feeling's gone)
And I'm still dancing
(The more I know, The less I know)
