Laura
by Bat for Lashes

 

 

You say that they've all left you behind
Your heart broke when the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?

 

Couplet 2
When your smile is so wide
And your heels* are so high                                                                                                                          *(talons)
You can’t cry
Get your glad rags* on                                        * (slang for best clothes or clothes used on special occasions)
And let’s sing along
To that lonely song

 

Couplet 3
You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter* in the dark                                                                                                      *(paillettes, éclat)
Oh, Laura
You’re more than a superstar

Couplet 4
And in this horror show
I’ve got to tell you so
Oh, Laura
You’re more than a superstar

You say that you're stuck in a pale blue dream
And your tears feel hot on my bed sheets
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?

Couplet 2

Couplet 3

You’ll be famous for longer than them
Your name is tattooed on every boy’s skin
Oh, Laura
You’re more than a superstar

Couplet 3

Couplet 4
