I see you here, you're drinking all those beers and I'm watching you.
If somebody just asked they'd only get the truth.
Don't have a heart attack on the halfway line
I feel like my head's all in a spin but if we fall apart now how will we amount to anything?
Don't have a heart attack on the halfway line
Babadadabababadadada
Yeah I feel just fine
He did it all for the glory, he did it all for the glory
The weight's pullin' down and I watch it spin you around and around it goes
I'm never leaving here cos there's no place I'd rather be
If somebody just asked they'd only get the truth
Don't have a heart attack on the halfway line
I feel like my head's all in a spin but if we fall apart now how will we amount to anything?
Don't have a heart attack on the halfway line
Babadadabababadadada
Yeah I feel just fine

Your move, we’re changing
But it’s alright to fight, so long as we make up
This is not an end for me
Had I thought that mistakenly
It’s just the way I play my game
Oh-o-oh-o
No more arguments
This isn't an end
Or has the way I played my silly game
Made you quit
On and on and on
We’ll stop and start again
Stop and start again
Play until the end
It’s Sunday, let’s go play again
It’s Sunday, let’s go play
Why not why not?
C’mon, c’mon
Let’s play again
Let’s play again
Play again
Let’s play again
My move, re-arranging
The whole world so I can
be somewhere I love
This is not an apology
This means so much more to me
But it’s just the way I play my game
Stop and start again
Play until the end
It’s Sunday, let’s go play again
It’s Sunday, let’s go
I’m bored and I know
It’s not the end
So c’mon let’s go play
Why not why not?
C’mon, c’mon
Let’s play again
Let’s play again
Fight it out two by two
It won't get me over you

Humdrum, Beckoning
A life in another world
Sailing them is a ship
Made of patchworked paperclips
Shackled in; crewless
The ocean shyly shoulders the hull knocking at its door
Plunking like a learning ukulele it wants more
Time ticks; reminisce
The grit polished to pearls
A universe resident
To moored marionettes
Shackled in; crewless
Clicking castanets, there is a vessel in her chest
Whittled from old memories, splintered, wooden and restless
And the boy says things are fine, and the girl she is devine
But they know, they know
All their hopes strung from the sky
Improvised with point and line
'Cos they know, they know
All romantics are quitters, all romantics are
He said, “you were the one I should have stood still for”
They were lost as sea, and in each other
Their paper-clipped existence moored only by reality
Compelling them to move safely within their society
They had quit their hum-drum lives (because all romantics are quitters)
For all they had (what was left to gain?)
For all their cowardice they still wanted to be
TAKEN AWAY - -
The ocean shyly shoulders the hull knocking at its door
Plunking like a learning ukulele it wants more
And the boy says things are fine, and the girl she is devine
But they know, they know
All their hopes strung from the sky
Improvised with point and line
'Cos they know, they know
All romantics are quitters, all romantics are
‘cos they know, they know
Because all romantics are quitters, all romantics are
All romantics are quitters, all romantics are…
