Ellie Goulding – Every Time You Go

  General Comment:I love this song. Basically, it's about a tumultuous relationship between a girl and a guy. In the chorus, she's describing what she feels whenever he he leaves her. He "wakes her up", in the sense that she's dreaming or feeling quite peaceful with their relationship, and he snaps her out of it by breaking up with her. I love the line "tape me up then break me up"...it means he fixes her heart just to break it again.

  General Comment:I think this song is about giving so much to a relationship but feeling like your getting nothing back

  General Comment:There is 2 versions of this song..
  This is the lyrics to the faster one..& Lyrics are extended :)
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  
  Every time you go, go, go, go
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  
  It starts with a picture and it sits in your frame
  And we part with a letter and it ends in my name
  And it starts with forever and it end with a touch
  And I know that you're clever and I don't ask for much
  
  Ooh...
  
  Maybe we forgot all the things we are
  When we are together
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  
  You said I'm arresting, you said I had heat
  I really thought that we'd go further the second time we meet
  'Cause I'm tired of trying to keep you - all I want to do is sleep
  And perhaps when I'm sleeping you'll get back on your feet
  
  Ooh...
  
  Maybe we forgot all the thing we are
  When we are together
  
  Wake me up, wake me up
  Stop my fall every time you go
  Tape me up then break me up
  Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
  It's not so hard every time you go
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  
  I run a mount to meet you when I knew the storm had come
  And I felt the rain on your face and the damage you had done
  I know what you're thinking - it will never be the end
  And when the storm is over, you won't see me again
  
  Ooh...
  
  Didn't know the price I'd paid for all the times I stayed
  When we were together
  
  Wake me up, wake me up
  Stop my fall every time you go
  Tape me up then break me up
  Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
  It's not so hard
  
  (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
  Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
  (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
  Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
  (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
  Maybe we forget, are we awake or not?
  Or maybe we forgot
  
  Wake me up, wake me up
  Stop my fall every time you go
  Tape me up then break me up
  Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
  
  Wake me up, wake me up
  Stop my fall every time you go
  Tape me up then break me up
  Ever so gently when I'm at my weakest
  It's not so hard every time you go

  General Comment:Love this song.
  I thought it said : 'and it ends in my name' not 'one name' but I don't know..
  Also, on the chorus, I heard it as 'Wake me up, wake me, I'll stop my foreword when I'm at my weakest'. Not sure about 'foreword' but she definitely says 'Wake me up, wake me I'll..' instead of 'Wake me up' twice.
  I only have the demo though, so obviously I won't know if it's changed for the final version :)

    i'm not sure what the bit after ''wake me.. i'll''
    so i just left it like that.
    hopefully somebody else will know haha. :D

    In the final version I'm pretty sure she says 'Wake me up, wake me up, stop my fall when I'm at my weakest', which makes sense to me.
    She also puts the second verse ('you said I'm arresting' etc) at the end of the first verse before the chorus, and adds in a new second verse:
    
    I ran out to meet you
    When I knew the storm had come
    And I felt the storm on your face
    And the damage you had done.
    I know what you're thinking:
    'It'll never be the end,
    And when the storm is over
    You won't see me again".
    
    Do you know the price I paid for all the times I stayed
    When we were together?
    
    Looooove this song :)
