La Roux - Reflections Are Protection

Please, please be my light filter

Shine, make me a shelter

To hide this love

Makes you lose your sight

Now the search party is on its way

And the flood lights are on my face

All the shadows that I woke up in

Are just my volatile second skin

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you're ready come into the light

Lines, design a pathway

Shine, cut out the dark shapes

To find, although I really tried

Only time is a lover's guide

And now the railings fall away

And the stencils draw a face

Our outlines in the sunset

Are just a fragile silhouette

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you're ready come into the light

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

If you leave me, I'll go back to hide

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

When you're ready come into the light

My reflections are protections

They will keep me from destruction

My directions are distractions

If you leave me, I'll go back to hide
