Precious Time — The Maccabees

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek Cheek paler than a lamp light Take me down to light the box And play super Scalextric

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

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 So you'll hold yourself up and you'll hold yourself in And then pray that you are growing

And turn to this Darkness You turn it into light, and you'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

'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

Because time can mean so much Are you still mine?
