High Enough to Carry You Over Lyrics

No more barricades, slowly diffusing
I'll be leaving now, nobody's losing
If you could play a part, stay in resistance
Every fault would fade into the distance

Run if you like
All the mistakes that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over

And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)

If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
No more clarity, only confusion
Every focused thought, just an illusion

If I could see you now, if you could listen
Every fault would fade into the distance
Run if you like
All the mistakes that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around

To build your words
High enough to carry you over
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)

And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
And you are
If I only hadn't given you up

If you only hadn't given me up
And you are
If I only hadn't given you up
Losin' my breath and leaving' the rest
Run if you like
All the mistakes that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny

Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)

If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up)

CHVRCHES (pronounced as "churches") are a Scottish electronic band from Glasgow, formed in 2011. The group consists of Lauren Mayberry (lead vocals, occasionally synths and samplers), Iain Cook (synths, guitar, bass, vocals) and Martin Doherty (synths, samplers, vocals). The group's debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, was released on 20 September 2013.

Previously, Mayberry was a member of the bands Boyfriend/Girlfriend and Blue Sky Archives. Mayberry is a trained drummer and also did a four-year law degree, followed by a Masters in journalism. Cook was a member of Aereogramme and The Unwinding Hours and also wrote music for film and TV. Doherty was a live member of The Twilight Sad. According to Mayberry, "Iain and Martin went to university together so they've known each other for quite a long time".

The band started in October 2011 as a studio project between the long time friends Iain Cook and Martin Doherty. Cook already knew Lauren Mayberry from working with Blue Sky Archives and suggested her as a potential vocalist for the project.

CHVRCHES were influenced by acts such as Prince, Tubeway Army, Robyn, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Laurie Anderson. The band write, record, mix and master everything in a basement studio in Glasgow.

In May 2012, they released the song "Lies". In the same year, CHVRCHES toured with Passion Pit, as the opening band for their concerts and also toured on their own. "Lies" ranked at number 28 on NME's Best Tracks of 2012. CHVRCHES also came fifth on the BBC's Sound of 2013 list.

On 25 March 2013, they released Recover EP. They performed at SXSW and won the Inaugural Grulke Prize (for Developing Non-US Act). The band also supported Depeche Mode on four shows in July during their The Delta Machine Tour 2013.

On 20 September 2013, CHVRCHES released their debut album, The Bones of What You Believe. The album is supported by the singles "The Mother We Share", "Recover" and "Gun".
