LYRICS

Listen close she said well there's mouths here in the walls 
listen close they whisper half true to names and songs
and it's been fifteen days since you ran away with me
now it's time to send you back back across the sea
hold me close oh there's shapes here in the dark
move in close one kiss and we'll be compromised 
and it's been fifteen days since you ran away with me
I know I should but I don't want to set you want to set you free
blindfold don't you walk away
cover your eyes and fall into 
blindfold don't you walk away 
cover your eyes and fall into
its always closed she said and you cant get back again
leave them closed 
and don't be polarised or atomised
and its been fifteen days since you crumbled in my hands
and now it's time to send you back across, across the desert sands. 

Goodwin's theory of lyrics and visuals suggests that the lyrics often have an association with the video, there are a few lyrics that could possibly be used as a reference in music video. The line 'There's shapes here in the dark' could possibly go with our idea of the edit creating a distorted scene, e.g through the use of split screen and mirroring. 
The lyrics also present a break-up, 'you ran away', it may be an interesting idea to explore the idea of being alone. This would link to our intertextual reference of Amelie.
