Intuition Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're under my skin
'Bout to get in and I'm feelin' so much
Been having visions
Colourless mess when I'm out of your touch
You take it away
After one taste and nothing hurts
Long, broken highways
In a dark daze, I become a desert

[Pre-Chorus]
I want you around me
Your ocean surroundin'
Your potion to drown me
I want you around me
Your ocean surroundin'
Your potion to drown me

[Chorus]
I've got an intuition
Flashin' like a diamond in a dream
Livin' in a full-time fantasy
I'm into you instinctively
I've got an intuition
I can see your outline in the dark
Lookin' like a midnight work of art
I just wanna write this in the stars
I've got an intuition
[Verse 2]
Truth, not what it seems
Disappear like money, but I found my riches (Oh, yeah)
Your perfect design
Mixin' with minе and I don't want distance

[Pre-Chorus]
I want you around me (Ooh)
Your ocean, surroundin' (Surroundin' mе)
Your potion to drown me (Ooh, to drown me)
I want you around me
Your ocean, surroundin' (Ooh)
Your potion to drown me (Ooh)

[Chorus]
I've got an intuition
Flashin' like a diamond in a dream
Livin' in a full-time fantasy (In a full time fantasy)
I'm into you instinctively (It's instinctively)
I've got an intuition
I can see your outline in the dark
Lookin' like a midnight work of art (You're like a work of art)
I just wanna write this in the stars
I've got an intuition

[Bridge]
Oh, when you know, you know
I don't wanna take it slow (Oh)
I don't wanna use my mind
No need to be defined (Oh)
Oh, it's a wilderness
I'm tastin' you on my breath (Yeah)
Anything before you was just stardust and rust
You're the real thing
[Chorus]
Flashin' like a diamond in a dream (Oh)
Livin' in a full-time fantasy
I'm into you instinctively
I've got an intuition
I can see your outline in the dark
Lookin' like a midnight work of art (You're like a work of art)
I just wanna write this in the stars (Oh)
I've got an intuition

[Outro]
I've got an intuition
I've got an intuition

What did Ellie Goulding say about "Intuition"?
Genius Answer

Greg and I did this one at the same time as ‘Love Goes On’. We were in a very big Janet Jackson phase—a lot of The Weeknd, too. That clear urgency is something I feel very good when singing with.
