Conductor
Florence and the Machine

[Verse 1]

I tried to control my shaking

With just one sound

I tried to warm the ocean

By writing it down

I tried to tame my nightmare

Line by line

If I write a song about you

Does that make you mine?

[Chorus]

The conductor caught in slow motion

The orchestra plays on

Over and over; the same motion

This work is never done

[Verse 2]

The only thing that's certain

Is your indecision

I guess it must be working

Cause you hit me with such precision

Now the strings are breaking

Their fingers run with blood

But they keep on playing

The cycle never stops

[Bridge]

Who's in control?

Who's playing who?

[Verse 3]

She wants to be amongst them

Conducting them too

She knows the song won't save her

But what else can she do?

She weeps just like a willow

She's playing for you

She's fragile and she's ferocious

As the current flows through

[Chorus]

She's a conductor...

[Verse 4]

Now here comes the crescendo

The music starts to swell

And now it's so ecstatic

I know this part so well

And then it goes staccato

The notes were flying up

Higher and higher

But they never reach the top

[Bridge] x2

[Verse 5]

I am the orchestra

The conductor too

My heart is a concert hall

And I filled it with you
