"Shelter" lyrics - THE XX

THE XX
"Shelter"
(Oliver Sim / Jamie Smith)

I find shelter in this way
Under cover hideaway
Can you hear when I say
"I have never felt this way"?

[Chorus:]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe

[Interlude]

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

[Chorus:]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

[Chorus:]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

[Outro:]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
