Ben Howard - Games In The Dark Lyrics

[@beautifulmess1958]

I haven't heard this song in 5 years but got one part stuck in my head randomly, "oh come, find me when the years get older. Find me when the world lends solder to our fire..."

This song is hard to find, props to you

So glad to have been able to hear this song. What a joy to hear something so different. Love this!
Btw, I think the 2nd set of lyrics are correct. Roxy, thank you for finding this.

I think there's quite a bit you got wrong if I'm honest. These are the lyrics:
We played games in the park,
We outstayed this, outstayed the dark.
You said, oh, 'I can feel your heart beat,'
And I told you, sometimes when its late at night I find it hard, hard to sleep.
Oh we played like lovers in the moon light,
We stayed here stubborn in the softness of the light.
How close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, baby.
You were like a child when you wept,
Oh through salt stained lullabies.
Eyes, eyes.
Yeah, how close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, mama.
You were like a child when you wept,
Oh through salt stained lullabies.
Eyes, eyes.
Yeah eyes, eyes.
Oh, we played games with the distance,
Made phone calls, phone calls just to listen.
And we held, oh, hands from the start,
You said baby, baby, baby, I never wanna make you part this.
Funny how words you lost in the dark,
Funny when the morning comes, the dew drums out the spark.
Oh, how close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh baby.
You were like a child when you wept,
Oh through salt stained lullabies.
Eyes, eyes.
Yeah how close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh mama.
You were like a child when you wept,
Oh, through salt stained lullabies.
Eyes, eyes.
Yeah eyes, eyes.
Yeah under the same set of stars,
We lay there but worlds apart.
And you'll still say, 'I can feel your heart beat,'
And I still find it hard in the middle of the night, oh trying to sleep.
Oh, come, find me when the years get older,
Find me when the world, lends solder to our fire, oh, oh, no
Come, find me when when the years get older,
Find me when the world, lends solder to our fire.
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, solder, to our fire.

Your interpretation seems perfect except for the dew line. Sounds like "Dew drowns out the spark" to me

Great job RoxyWolf! Other lyrics on the internet are a complete disaster! ;)

[@roxywolf9728]

Thank you very much! I'm still not sure if lyrics are completely correct though, because sometimes it's hard to understand what he's saying.
