Everything is fine now


Let sleeping dogs lay


All our minds made up now


All our bets are made


No one's out of time, no


Chips fall where they may


Leave it all behind, let the ocean wash away


 


It never was about the money or the drugs


For you there's only love


For you there's only love


It never was about the party or the clubs


For you there's only love


 


[Chorus]


Cause you're my religion, you're how I'm living


When all my friends say I should take some space


Well I can't envision that for a minute


When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray


Hallelujah, I need your love


Hallelujah, I need your love


 


Everything is bright now -


No more cloudy days,


Even when the storms come, in the eye we'll stay


No need to survive now-


All we do is play


All I hear is music


like Lay Lady Lay


 


It never was about the money or the drugs


For you there's only love


For you there's only love


It never was about the party or the clubs


For you there's only love


 


[Chorus]


Cause you're my religion, you're how I'm living


When all my friends say I should take some space


Well I can't envision that for a minute


When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray


Hallelujah, I need your love


Hallelujah, I need your love


 


You're my religion, you're how I'm living


When all my friends say I should take some space


Well I can't envision that for a minute


When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray


Hallelujah, I need your love


Hallelujah, I need your love

Everything is fine now

Let's sleep in the dark's day (? Dark sleigh?)

All our minds made up now

All our beds/bets are made

No one's out of time, no

Chips fall wherever they may

Leave it all behind, let the ocean wash [it] away

 

[pre-chorus] x2

It never was about the money or the drugs

For you, there's only love (x2)

 

[Chorus]

Cause you're my religion, you're how I'm living

When all my friends say I should take some space

Well I can't envision, that for a minute

When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray

Hallelujah/Alleluia, I need your love (x3)

 

[verse 2 - the one u put up]

Assembling the lyrics...

For you there's only love

For you there's only love

It never was about the party or the clubs

For you there's only love

Cause you're my religion, you're how I'm living

When all my friends say I should take some space

Well I can't envision that for a minute

Hallelujah, I need your love

Hallelujah, I need your love

Pretty sure the second line is 'let sleeping dogs lay'


'So I try to say goodbye my friend // I'd like to leave you with something warm // But never have I been a blue calm sea // I have always been a storm'

Makes more sense than that weird sleigh or day's haha

 

Any ideas about those chips? I don't understand what that means? Like what chips??

I think it's poker chips, following on from the line about bets being made. Though it sounds more like 'chips fall where they may' than wherever they may.

 

Edit: after googling 'chips fall where they may' I found some dictionary entry saying it comes from something about wood chips?!

Oooh okay, I didn't realize this was a proverb as I'm not a native-speaker! I thought it was about poker chips as well... So there we have it then, thanks! :)

 

And I think it's "where they may" too.

All our beds are made

Although 'bets' would sort of make more sense in context, I agree that she's actually singing 'beds'. 

 

And here's an explanation of the 'chips' line, and giving context for what I think is a nice, if straight forward, poetic turn by Lana: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/let+the+chips+fall+where+they+may
