Lyrics:
I'm finding my heart using my hands
You're my feet on the ground, my footprints
From where I began, I still carry your love
I feel your love

Untie this cord, we don't need it no more
Wherever we are, I'm yours always
It flows in my blood, I still carry your love
I feel your love

We start running, running
To escape this town
We don't know where we're going
'Til we turn round
And I keep on running, running
I don't slow down
And if I'm lost where shadows fall

You light me up when all I see is darkness
You light me up when I'm down
And if I fall apart, you know where to find my pieces
Where they're gonna be found

Keep my eyes shut, safe in this trust
You're all that I need, my senses
Shinning on me, I still carry your love
I feel your love

We start running, running
To escape this town
We don't know where we're going
'Til we turn round
And I keep on running, running
I don't slow down
If I'm lost where shadows fall

You light me up when all I see is darkness
You light me up when I'm down
And if I fall apart, you know where to find my pieces
Where they're gonna be found

You light me up when all I see is darkness
You light me up when I'm down
And if I fall apart, you know where to find my pieces
Where they're gonna be found

I'm finding my heart using my hands
You're my feet on the ground, my footprints
From where I began, I still carry your love
I feel your love

You light me up when all I see is darkness
You light me up when I'm down
And if I fall apart, you know where to find my pieces
Where they're gonna be found

You light me up when all I see is darkness
You light me up when I'm down
And if I fall apart, you know where to find my pieces
Where they're gonna be found

I'm finding my heart using my hands
You're my feet on the ground, my footprints

[ZayGurza]

Is anybody more perfect than Birdy? I mean, she doesn't needs to talk about sex, money or use electronic sounds to make music. I totally love her.

[cammiehagins]

I love that she sounds exactly the same whether live or on the album. It shows that she has talent and isn't relying on auto tune.

[xsimonlarsen]

She's freaking brilliant, I love her!

[jizatuyor]

Imagine Birdy and Hozier doing a collab. EVERYTHING

[RobertGold]

Eighteen! Becoming masterful! It is great to see. In the world as talent at the level of Sarah McLachlan already. Musicians who sing beautifully ... Brilliant!

[mccombsd]

This woman has NO bad songs! Her voice is perfection

[minutewarning]

Amazing. You can tell that the 'see is darkness' line is pretty near to her chest voice upper range limit. Which is no complaint but rather mightly impressive. She got a great range and vocal styles to tap in to. Love it.

[lydiahmarshall]

Dear Birdy,
you light me up when all i see is darkness you light me up when im down
thank you for your beautiful music

[InalienableSoul]

She is so god damn talented. I am astounded every single time she sings; we need more artists like this. 

[BrigitteWhatever]

Omg she is goood live!! Better than the official music video I think hahahh

[kriskp]

How is this woman not the most famous person on earth, the most incredible voice so talented, beautiful and everything about her voice and talent is too much for words. Shit birdy I love you so much. Just amazing 👏

[aloja]

my god i never get tired of her voice, its just so freaking amazing! i love her music so much!!!!

[XDLeadingLady]

This song always makes me feel. Feel good. Idk how. But this voice is amazing

[daynamu]

it's so rare to find such unique artists when they perform live better than in the studio

[Sloblock]

Absolutely brilliant! Loving the stand up style, damn those who said she can only sit placidly behind a piano! This blew me away. Well done birdy, your career is well under way

[emsalmaso]

Birdy you are inspiring, this song is pure perfection. Love from Italy <3

[deejayzane]

Great stuff Birdy. Revisiting this one after a re-re-re-repeat session. Nail it every time

[ademox]

First I did not know what to think of it - an upbeat pop song from a mellow ballader. Though I respected it as this song really brings out Birdy's vocal abilities. But the more I listen to this, I realize that this is actually a very good song. And I agree, this live version IS better than on the album.

[seolrae]

Her Live versions are even better <3.
