lyrics

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?'
