Lyrics

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek
A cheek paler than the lamp light
Take me down to light the box
We'll play super Scalectrix
Turn to this
Darkness
Into light and then I'll turn too bright
The better for hype
And I'll need heart
And you'll need courage
We all need
Toe to toe and nowhere to go
So I'm tiptoein' around it
I held you down and I held my own
Now I feel like I'm floating
So turn to this
Head on
And then keep on
Keeping on
And 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 turn to this
Darkness
You turn it into light
And then you'll turn too bright
The better for hype
And 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?
