Picture You Lyrics

Mumford & Sons Picture You

If I could tell you no
I thought it best you didn't know
Don't see it coming
The darkness visible
And when its eyes fix mine
It's silver and it's stone
I feel it rising on
The gathering storm

But 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'll 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

But 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'll picture you
