Joy Lyrics
Bastille
Lyrics
Thought I'd never be waking
On the kitchen floor
But here I lie, not the first time
Now my morning has broken
And it brings the fear
My minds fallin', fallin'
Then I feel my pulse quickening
But regrets can't change anything
Yeah, I feel my pulse quickening
When your name lights up the screen
Oh Joy, when you call me
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
Joy
Set my mind free
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
Take a walk through the wreckage
Clearing out my head
I hear your eyes roll, right down the phone
I'm your walking disaster, keep on dragging me
From self-pity, poor me
Then I feel my pulse quickening
But I wouldn't change a thing
Oh Joy, when you call me
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
Joy, set my mind free
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
As the night dissolves into this final frame
You're a sweet release, you save me from my brain
From my brain, from my brain, from my brain
From my brain, brain, brain
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Oh Joy, when you call me
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
Joy, set my mind free
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
I feel Joy, when you call me
I feel Joy - I, I, I feel Joy
I feel Joy, when you call me
I feel Joy, when you call me
How'd you always know when I'm down?
How'd you always know when I'm down?
