The Maccabees - Precious Time

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?
