Avalanche

James Arthur


Paradise, sleepin' in all the bright white snow
I'm alive, this could be it for all we know
I'm a mess, don't know what I would do, tell you
I could cry, leadin’ you down the same old road

I just never see it coming
Only the butterflies until the bullets fly around my head again
Sick of runnin' in a circle
All the stomach pains, I'm tired of medicating the adrenaline

Under this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
I feel the world collapsin' down
But after all that I've been through, long as I'm with you
Nobody can hurt me now
It's been breakin’ me, breakin’ me down to the bone
You savin' me, said to me, I'm not alone
In this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
Nobody can hurt us now, no

You and I, maybe we'll disappear like ghosts
Intertwined, in a couple years they'll write our stone
Here lies, a lucky man who was losin' all hope
In real life and a beautiful soul who never let go

I just never see the warning
Only the butterflies until the bullets flying ’round my head again, oh, oh-oh, oh
Sick of running in a circle, all the stomach aches, I'm tired medicating the adrenaline

Under this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
I feel the world collapsin' down
But after all that I've been through, long as I'm with you
Nobody can hurt me now
It's been breakin' me, breakin' me down to the bone
You savin' me, said to me, I'm not alone
In this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
Nobody can hurt us now, no

I think of all the wasted nights
Think of all the tears you cried
Because of me, because of us
Ash to ash, dust to dust
I don't wanna waste more time
We won't make it out alive
Hold my hand, I'll sleep forever

Under this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
I feel the world collapsin' down
But after all that I've been through (all that I've been through)
Long as I'm with you (all that I've been through)
Nobody can hurt me now (now, oh)
It's been breakin' me, breakin' me down to the bone
You savin' me, said to me, I'm not alone
In this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
Nobody can hurt us now, no
