Picture You - Mumford & Sons

If I could tell you no

I thought it best you didn’t know

Don’t see it coming

The darkness visible

But when its eyes fix mine

It’s silver and it’s stone

I feel it rising, oh

The gathering storm

And when I feel that darkness is a heartbeat away

And I

Don’t know how to fight it

It’s a heartbeat away

And now

You don’t know me like this

It’s a heartbeat away

And I

Don’t know how to hide it

It’s a heartbeat away

And I picture you

Soaked in light

I picture you

And in you I have no doubt

When the chaos calls me out

And it feels like there is nothing I can do

I picture you

And the night falls fast

I know it’s heavy on the skin

Will it be ever thus

Barely visible

But when your eyes fix mine

Embracing your denial

Well I hold my breath

Through the waste and the wild

When I feel it rising

And it’s a heartbeat away

And I

Don’t know how to fight it

It’s a heartbeat away

And now

You don’t know me like this

It’s a heartbeat away

And I

Don’t know how to fight it

It’s a heartbeat away

And I picture you

Soaked in light

I picture you

And in you I have no doubt

When the chaos calls me out

And it feels like there is nothing I can do

I picture you
