If She Could See Me Now

Lorde

Lyrics of If She Could See Me Now by Lorde

In the city
I hear the voices
Of the ancients
They′re calling for us
Hear their horses running up Prince Street
Cause I’m a mystic, I swim in waters
That would drown so many other bitches
Got me lifted, feeling so gifted
In the gym, I′m exorcising
All my demons, make em keep riding
Yesterday, I lifted your body weight
I pick a song and listen to it
Til it’s just a piece of music
And everything else falls away

Baby
Whenever you’d break me
I′d watch it happen, like an angel looking down
It made me a woman, being hurt like that
I can feel, don′t need fantasy
Oh God, if she could see me now

Hope you find another starlet
Another camera, another red carpet
As for me, I’m going back to the clay
You can tell them I went crazy
If that′s what this is, then I guess I’ll take it:
I bring the pain out the synthesiser
The bodies move like there′s spirits inside em
