The Maccabees - Precious Time lyrics
[The Maccabees - Precious Time lyrics]
Pound for pound and cheek to cheek
Cheek paler than the lamp light
Take me down to light the box
We'll play Super Scalextrics
Turn to this darkness
Into light and then I'll turn too bright
The better for hype
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need-
Toe to toe, nowhere to go
So I'm tiptoeing around it
I held you down and I held my own
And now I feel like I'm floating
So turn to this head on
And then keep on keeping on
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time
So let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Don't you know nobody knows
If there's somebody waiting
You'll hold yourself up and
You'll hold yourself in
And pray that you're growing
And you turn to this darkness
You turn it into light and
Then you'll turn too bright
The better for hype
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time
So let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about
'Cause we'll need heart and
We'll need courage in these times
We'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times 'Cause time can mean so much
Are you still mine?
Cheek paler than the lamp light
Take me down to light the box
We'll play Super Scalextrics
Turn to this darkness
Into light and then I'll turn too bright
The better for hype
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need-
Toe to toe, nowhere to go
So I'm tiptoeing around it
I held you down and I held my own
And now I feel like I'm floating
So turn to this head on
And then keep on keeping on
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time
So let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Don't you know nobody knows
If there's somebody waiting
You'll hold yourself up and
You'll hold yourself in
And pray that you're growing
And you turn to this darkness
You turn it into light and
Then you'll turn too bright
The better for hype
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time
So let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about
'Cause we'll need heart and
We'll need courage in these times
We'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times 'Cause time can mean so much
Are you still mine?
