Ben Howard - Games In The Dark

We played games in the park

And I want to stay there,

Close to your heart

And you said “Oh, I can feel your heart beat,”

And I told you, “Sometimes when I stay the night, I find it hard, hard to sleep”

Oh, we played, yeah, like lovers in the moonlight

We stay here, stubborn in the softness and the light

Oh, how close to heaven can you get, 

Before the sun burns your eyes? 

Oh, baby, 

You were like a child when you wept, 

Yeah, through soul sang lullabies

Eyes, Oh, Eyes

We played games with the distance 

Made phone calls, phone calls just to listen 

We held, oh, mornings from the start,

You said “Baby, maybe, maybe, I never want to make your heart less” 

For now, words get lost in the dark

For when the morning comes,

That you dropped out the start 

Oh, how close to heaven can you get, 

Before the sun burns your eyes? 

Oh, oh, baby, 

You were like a child when you wept, 

Oh, through soul sang lullabies

Eyes, e-e-eyes,

Yeah, how close to heaven can you get, 

Before the sun burns your eyes? 

Oh, oh, mama, 

You were like a child when you wept, 

Oh, through soul sang lullabies

Eyes, e-e-eyes, Oh, Eyes, e-e-eyes

And you’re under the same set of stars

We lay there, worlds apart

And you still say “I can feel your heart beat”

And I still find it hard in the middle of the night, oh, trying to sleep

Oh come, find me when the years get older, find me when the world 

Lights solder to our fire, oh, oh, no

Find me when the years get older, find me when the world

Lights solder to our fire, 

Oh, whoa, Oh whoa, solder…

To our fire
