What you gonna do?

I think time has gone the distance
I mean it's really pulled the stops out
I've got ingredients in the kitchen
But we could eat across town
And I know I've got so many things to do
Before this week goes out of frame
But I can't help but smile
And put it off for a bit again
'Cause there's brightness in the night time
There's fireworks in my heart
And I looked up at the sky and I
Looked up at the stars
And I think they said I'm doing ok
I mean I'm trying quite hard
And if this meal's not too late
Maybe we could reach the stars
And I said
'Woah What you gonna do
Woah What you got to lose?'
Now there's no barricades in sight
There's no fencing in my head
We could walk to the moon tonight
Take the shortcut by the stairs
And I'll uplift ya
'Cause you can't live a life without having the pictures
To prove that the times existed
I just threw down the camera and kissed ya
'Cause it's not what my life seems to be
But more what it might mean to me and then
I looked up at the stars gleaming
They were just setting the scenery
And I think they said I'm doing ok
I mean I'm trying quite hard
And if this meals not too late
Maybe we could reach the stars
And I said
'Woah What you gonna do
Woah What you got to lose?'

Woke up

It's a new year in the afternoon
And there's glasses on the table
You didn't miss the party but you kinda missed the point
And I think we're gonna be alright
It was written on the fridge magnets
It had a grasp of phrase you wouldn't expect from a container of milk
And I aint got the answers
I've only almost got the questions
And the in between is something I've got to find
But I managed to get some patience
I should do I waited for it for ages
Now I'll arrange the pages to start from one
The rest I can see in time
I feel like I just woke up
I feel like I just woke up
And time it waits for no man
Try telling that to the snowman
Who packed his bags and headed off to the frozen section
But instead of always trying to cheat it
Gotta hold your hands up and greet it
As it flows out of Greenwich
And up the Jubilee line
'Cause I've got a fresh perspective
That I can't leave undetected
It's like I've forgotten what I've lost
And suddenly I don't mind
So if You're cold and in the corner
My coat is yours to warm ya
I haven't got a watch but for you I've got the time
I feel like I just woke up
I feel like I just woke up
So hold my hand, tightly
And If I close my eyes, remind me to
Keep them wide
Not just let days go by
I feel like I just woke up
I feel like I just woke up

Falling down

So hold me up
Don't hold me down
The answers are 17 feet above the ground
This cage is outrageous
It's like you closed the book when I don't know what my page is
But I'm breaking out
Yeh I'm making plans
I called him up upstairs he said he couldn't help but understand
That I don't know who to believe
I don't know who to believe
Yeh you can pour your heart out
If you think it will make a sound
Yeh I'll still pour my heart out
While I'm standing on this ground
Until I'm falling down
Until I'm falling!
Until I'm falling down
Until I'm falling!
Until I'm falling down
Are we wasting our time
Just queueing in lines
Hoping we might find an answer
To the questions we've asked
And we'll keep on asking 'til it breezed right past us
Should have been there faster
But I guess it's easier to say with hindsight
Should have checked if your minds right
Maybe it wasn't the right time
But I don't know who to believe
I don't know who to believe
Yeh you can pour your heart out
If you think it will make a sound
Yeh I'll still pour my heart out
While I'm standing on this ground
Until I'm falling down
Until I'm falling!
Until I'm falling down
Until I'm falling!
Until I'm falling down
'til I'm falling down, 'til I'm falling down, 'til I'm falling down

I got time
02:04
|

We all got troubles
We all got pain
We try to hang on to love try to keep it the same
We all got issues
I put mine in my songs
Sometimes I'm not fine but I'm carrying on
You called me up in a state of disaster
She played with your heart then she ripped it up after
I can't believe that she'd treat you so bad
You're the best thing shes ever had
Well I got time
to listen to your words I will hear your story
And I will try to lift you up and sing
'Cause there are times
When it feels like nobody is listening
In our different lives
Well I got time
