Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fuck your horizon
Feeding time again
Terrified to leave him
Staring at the sun
Broken by Boxing Day
Cheers to everyone
The landscape is collapsing
Heart can't hold the space
[Verse 2]
Faith, you want to have faith
You want to be tied up
Waves just come upon waves
We just about died, yup
Life, the thing that you hold
Is the thing that you hold back
For once get out of your head
And out of the same track
[Verse 3]
Tear down the night
Take out your soul
Show it to me now
So that I know
Finally kiss me
The Earth looks calm from here
Now you're like you should be
The lion to the deer
[Chorus]
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
[Verse 4]
Fuck all your ego
Breathe until it hurts
Tear me into pieces
Home here in the dirt
[Verse 5]
Time, you want to make time
'Cause you wanna make heroes
But lines, you've stepped over lines until it all meant zero
Love, you want to make love
But you don't love yourself yet
Above, that the good Lord above
Wouldn't take you's a safe bet
[Verse 6]
Kill all your heroes
Now there's nowhere left to hide
Is your money where your mouth is?
Or has something in you died?
[Chorus]
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
[Chorus]
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
Ooh, what you waiting for?
You never really tire of it
You never really tire of it
