Games in the dark lyrics 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, oh, baby,
You were like a child when you wept,
Yeah, through soul sang lullabies
Eyes, e-e-eyes, Oh, Eyes, e-e-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
