“Love Me Like You Do”
By Ellie Goulding
You’re the light
You’re the night
You’re the colour of my blood
You’re the cure
You’re the pain
You’re the only thing
I want to touch
Never knew that it could mean
So much, so much
You’re the fear, I don’t care
‘Cause I’ve never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world
You brought to life, to life
Chorus
So love me like you do
Love me like you do
Touch me like you do
Touch me like you do
What are you waiting for
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin
Is a holy grail I’ve got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire
Yeah, I’ll let you set the pace
‘Cause I’m not thinking straight
My head’s spinning around
I can’t see clear no more
What are you waiting for
(Chorus)
