Take all your chances while you can
You never know when they'll pass
you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot
solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't
calculate
I need some more of you to take me
over

Take me over

If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come
and find
Like a poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls
might fall

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't
calculate
I need some more of you to take me
over

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't
calculate
I need some more of you to take me
over

I know I because I cant calculate

How to respect you
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again

It's all about you

The sun got stuck, as it's making it's way back down,
We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town

And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And ill take you there with me

My head crashed down, and conditioned myself to sleep,
The great night out, that will continue to the end of the week

And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And ill take you there with me

It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me love through a machine
It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me love through a machine

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
Tell the sun to start moving again,
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
And I'll take you there with me

This European air,
it always warms my face,
I wish I could buy some.

I will bring you stories,
And brilliant photos,
like a regular tourist.

-Chorus-

We don't go breaking down,
I feel like nothing ever will,
We don't go breaking down,
I feel like nothing.

Suitcases down our street,
Are rolling once again,
I roll away with them,
Five days inside Zoo York,
To lose myself with friends,
I'm nowhere without you.

We don't go breaking down,
I feel like nothing ever will,
We don't go breaking down
(I don't believe)
I feel like nothing ever will,
We will never go breaking down,
I feel like nothing.

Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby

I'm counting up the cost of time,
We cannot save ourselves alone.

Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you, my baby
Just wanna be with you.

Covered ground
Just to reach your house
I know we need to talk
But I can't catch my thoughts
Insides gripped
Scared of what you'll think
Words I can't repeat
Could change all we've got

Set it off
Someone better hit the alarm
Set it off
Someone better help me

Disarm myself
I don't want no-one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

Trading air
Once more from the start
I can't open up a thousand paper cuts
People hear
What they want to hear
But they won't change a thing
No they won't change a thing

Set it off
Someone better hit the alarm
Set it off
Someone better help me

Disarm myself
I don't want no-one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

Disarm myself
I don't want no-one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

you got wires, goin in
you got wires, comin out of your skin
you got tears
making tracks
i got tears
that are scared of the facts

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
i see hope is here in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights reflect in
your eyes

you got wires, goin in
you got wires, comin out of your skin
there's dry blood on your wrist
your dry blood on my fingertip

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
first night of your life
curled up on your own
looking at you now
you would never know

i see it in your eyes
i see it in your eyes
you'll be alright

i see it in your eyes
i see it in your eyes
you'll be alright
Alright

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
i see hope is here in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights reflect in
your eyes

down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you
got to see this through
first night of your life
curled up on your own
looking at you now
you would never know

Out of energy
I don't know what to do with myself
Made it eventually
And now I'm resting on the very last breath

All I needed was this one
To get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised
There was no time to waste
There was soul all around me
Everybody let go
It wasn't long before we realised
There was no time to waste

Like I'm eleven again
I was the highest kid in the world
Reached a point with no end
Just looking out so I can take it all in

All I needed was this one
To get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised
There was no time to waste
There was soul all around me
Everybody let go
It wasn't long before we realised
There was no time to waste
All I needed was this one
To get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised
There was no time to waste

I thank you for soul
No point unless you got soul
This world has got to have soul
Looking round for your soul
Digging down to your soul
I found out you got soul
Holding out all your soul
Lifting up all your soul
I thank you for soul

Switch on the light, between each other
Elevated to your side, Now I'm nervous
It's time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

Plastic flowers that fight for colour
Shadows floating on the ground, that always follow
Like international acclaim, it comes and goes never the same

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

And I will run with it
And sunlight will break into my eyes
And it seems like you plugged the world in
‘cause sunlight is streaming from your eyes

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before
Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

I would like to think our paths are straight
Disconnected from the choices we make
That there is no reason why it can't be like you said

One day it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

I would like someone to make a map
Mark my home and draw some lines that match
All of the reasons why
It can be like you said

One day it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

I don't know when
I don't know why
I don't know when
I don't know why

One day it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

But all that I know is it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

Tell me something I don't know
'cause we've been there ten times before
Make it up as we go along
In so deep it can't be wrong
It's obvious that

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
I don't want to be on my own
I need a home, I need a home

There's a look in your eye
Dancing like a samurai
In silence you're still listening
'cause somewhere something's happening
It's obvious that

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
I don't want to be on my own
I need a home, I need a home

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
I don't want to be on my own
I need a home, I need a home

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us; they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes

People rushing left to right
There's pretty faces left to right
I'm just frozen staring into space

Faster than the speed of light
I'm holding on, I'm holding tight
'Cause stars are gonna crash into
this place

And it's caught wide screen so we
dont miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear 'cause all I
waited for is...

Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours


This is more than daily bread,
It's three degrees, It's something
else,
And you just take it all into your
stride

Couldn't be an accident
'Cause I cant see no ambulance,
I know that we will work it out this
time

And its caught wide screen so we
dont miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear 'cause all I
waited for is...

Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours

Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
Now we're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours

It's not over, It's not over
We've still got twenty four hours
It's not over, It's not over yet
We've still got twenty four hours

Fire on the hill
Fire in me still
I feel out of my league
But you turn around and you say to me that

I love everybody here
And I agree
I love everybody here

Sun has long gone out
Sun comes up like it's been about a year
I don't mind if we
Drink again my friend

'cause there is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
There is so much left to say
There is so much left to say

People for miles, opening up
People for miles, in focus and not
We'd be ok if
We had answers to questions in rhymes and in reasons
You leave it to me to be all of four seasons

I love everybody here
And I agree
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
I love everybody here
Life is beautiful for sure
'cause I love everybody here
