Breathe your smoke into my lungs
Back of the car with you I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
But Iovers hold on to everything
But lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever every day
Then you take it all away
Place a kiss on my cheekbone
Then you vanish me I'm buried in the snow
but something tells me I'm not alone
so lovers hold on to everything
So lovers hold on to anything
I keep runnin', back to the same place
it's a dangerous equation, but I keep my pace

Still not too old to die young/But lovers hold on to everything
As perfect a pop turn-of-phrase Goulding mines on Halcyon, threatening and visceral at the starting line, scoffing at Father Time along the way, lacing characters on a power love trip – things just falls apart into figure eight metaphor cheese, and frustratingly don’t loop back together.
