  • Eyes make their peace in difficulties
    With wounded lips and salted cheeks
    And finally we step to leave
    To the departure lounge of disbelief

    And I don't know where I'm going
    But I know it's gonna be a long time
    And I'll be leaving in the morning
    Come the white wine, bitter sunlight

    Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
    Before the bleeding sun comes alive
    I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
    And hear my beating heart one last time
    Before daylight

    And the canyon underneath the trees
    Behind the dark sky, you looked at me
    I fell for you, like autumn leaves
    And never faded, evergreen

    And I don't know where I'm going
    But I know it's gonna be a long time
    'Cause I'll be leaving in the morning
    Come the white wine, bitter sunlight

    Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
    Before the bleeding sun comes alive
    I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
    And hear my beating heart one last time

    I can't face now, everything has changed
    I just wanna be by your side
    Here's hoping we collide
    Here's hoping we collide
    Here's hoping we collide

    Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
    Before the bleeding sun comes alive
    I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
    And hear my beating heart one last time

    I wanna hear your beating heart tonight Writer/s: Elena Jane Goulding, Joseph Robert Janiak
