Ellie Goulding - Halcyon Blue

We were just kids with the fire in our eyes
Painting our futures on the summer skies
Running through the fields, chasing dragonflies
Living in a world without a compromise
You had a map of the world pinned up on your wall
And I was so damn sure that we could conquer it all

We were wild, we were young, we were beautifully naive
Holding on to every single promise we'd believe
And the world was spinning slower, or so it seemed to me
Underneath the canopy of that old willow tree

And oh, do you remember that halcyon blue?
The color of the sky, the color of me and you
We were dancing in the headlights, singing out of tune
Underneath the silver of a bright and burning moon
Yeah, we were lost in that feeling, forever and brand new
In that halcyon blue

Years go by like seasons, the memories start to fade
The vibrant colors soften to a melancholic shade
I see you on a screen sometimes, a life I barely know
A different city, different friends, a different kind of glow
But do you ever close your eyes and find yourself back there?
With the taste of stolen cider and the wildness in the air

We were wild, we were young, we were beautifully naive
Holding on to every single promise we'd believe
And the world was spinning slower, or so it seemed to me
Underneath the canopy of that old willow tree

And oh, do you remember that halcyon blue?
The color of the sky, the color of me and you
We were dancing in the headlights, singing out of tune
Underneath the silver of a bright and burning moon
Yeah, we were lost in that feeling, forever and brand new
In that halcyon blue

And I know we can't go back, that door is closed for good
But I hope a part of you is still there, misunderstood
A ghost of who we were, still running through the wood
Forever young, forever free, forever wild and good
(Outro - with layered vocals and fading synths)
Halcyon blue...
(Do you remember, do you remember?)
Halcyon blue...
(Me and you, me and you...)
In that halcyon blue.
(Beat fades out, leaving a final, echoing vocal harmony)
