Back when Lungs was a brand new entity released to the world, I stumbled upon this song by chance on youtube. It's been one of my favorite songs performed by Florence + the Machine even still. <3

lyrics

I built a man made out of bricks
and lived inside his chest,
I beat my head against the walls
to make a heartbeat in his breast,

I smashed my fist against his ribs
to suck the air inside,
And swing by swing
and blow by blow,
I brought that man to life.

I built a man and cut his skin
and lived inside his heart,
I pumped it with my fingertips
and loved it from the start,

And with every beat I gave him
a heartbeat of my own,
And filled his veins with the blood I had
'til his blood was my own.

Oh, I would build you up,
But we're not made of the same stuff.
And even though I knocked you down
you're so much stronger than me.

Oh, I would build you up,
But we're not made of the same stuff.
And even though I knocked you down
you're so much stronger than me.
