The Maccabees - Precious Time lyrics

rate me

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek

Cheek paler than a lamp light

Take me down to light the box

And play super Scalectrix

And turn this,

Darkness

Into light, and I'll turn too bright

Forget all the hype

I'll need heart and I'll need courage

We all need...

Toe to toe, there's 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 keep on

Keeping on

You’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, well god only knows.

Is there somebody waiting?

So you’ll hold yourself up and you’ll hold yourself in

And then pray that you are growing

And turn this,

Darkness

Into light, and I'll turn too bright

Forget all the hype

You’ll need heart and I’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 it

Let’s take our precious time about

You’ll need heart and you’ll need courage

In these times

You’ll need heart and you’ll need courage

In these times

Because time can mean so much

Are you still mine?
