Lyrics of Warmth by Bastille
intro
When the event, uh, uh, happens
There′s little time to think of those things
That people would like to have remain private
Getting caught up in the circus-like atmosphere
Feeling less responsible to conventional ethical practices
verse
Never good, just the bad and the ugly, laid in front of you
Nothing quite like seeing the world through the TV's window
Feeling helpless, I look for distraction, I go searching for you
Wandering through our city to find some solace at your door
pre-chorus
I can′t stop thinking about it, I can't stop thinking about it
Tell me, did you see the news tonight?
chorus
Hold me in this wild, wild world
'Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get
Hold me in this wild, wild world
′Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get
hook
Now draw me close
verse
So come on, let′s forget the emotion, tie the blinkers on
Hold both hands right over my eyes, deafen me with music
'Til we′re lost in the heat of the moment, and I'm moving in you
Help me keep these hours alive, help me chase those seconds
pre-chorus
I just keep talking about it, but I′ll do nothing about it
Tell me, did you see the news last night?
chorus
Hold me in this wild, wild world
'Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be
And in your heat I feel how cold you can get
Hold me in this wild, wild world
′Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get
hook
Now draw me close
bridge
Hold (ah) me in this wild, wild world
chorus
Hold me in this wild, wild world
'Cause in your warmth I forget how cold it can be
And in your heat I feel how cold it can get
Hold me in this wild, wild world
'Cause in your warmth (oh, in your heat), I forget (in your heat)
How cold it can be (I can get)
And in your heat (I forget), I feel (in your heat)
How cold it can get (I forget)
outro
So hold me close
Hold me close
