lyrics

For the foreseeable now, for the foreseeable now
Can we make, will we make time
Can we make a pact, to be honest and how
Can we make time, will we make time

I want to truly believe, this is positivity, but what does that mean…

We’ve got a grip on this thing, day by day its slipping
How can we be so sure?
Whats in our head wont construe, to make our hearts both ring true
Its really all been up to you.

Why cant you be mine?

I like to be control. I like to be in control.
Surely there is space, to make my feelings known.
Can we make time, will we make time, who knows?
What, amount, of time have you got to pay me!
Stop, stare, think about what you’re leaving.

We’ve got a grip on this thing, day by day its slipping
How can we be so sure?
Whats in our head wont construe, to make our hearts both ring true
Its really all been up to you.

Sing me, sing me to SLEEP
Hold me, hold me while Im WEAK
WHAT!?, is it, too hard to be
STRONG! STRONG! For you and me!

I want long time lovin’, keeping on
Is it too hard, to have only one
You’re watching something, you’ll never own
And I’m not waiting till Im oldddd…….

We’ve got a grip on this thing, day by day its slipping
How can we be so sure?
Whats in our head wont construe, to make our hearts both ring true
Its really all been up to you, you, youuuu…
