Conductor
Florence and the Machine Song Lyrics

Artist: Florence and the Machine
Album: How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015)

I tried to control my shaking
With just one sound
I tried to warm the ocean
By writing it down
I tried to tame my nightmare
Line by line
If I write a song about you
Does that make you mine?

The conductor caught in slow motion
The orchestra plays on
Over and over, the same motion
This work is never done.

The only thing that's certain
Is your indecision
I guess it must be working
Cause you hit me with such precision
Now the strings are breaking
Their fingers run with blood
But they keep on playing
The cycle never stops.

Who's in control?
Who's playing who?

She wants to be amongst them
Conducting them too
She knows the song won't save her
But what else can she do?
She weeps just like a willow
She's playing for you
She's fragile and she's ferocious
As the current flows through.

She's a conductor caught in slow motion
The orchestra plays loud
Over and over, the same motion
This work is never done.

Now here comes the crescendo
The music starts to swell
And now it's so ecstatic
I know this part so well
And then it goes staccato
The notes were flying up
Higher and higher
But they never reach the top.

Who's in control?
Who's playing who?
[X2]

I am the orchestra
The conductor too
My heart is a concert hall
And I filled it with you.
