He said, "Can you hear it?"
The sound of summer running fast
She sidesteps the ground we sleep on
Somehow follows me, but still takes the lead
So open up your ears
But please don't speak
I'll try to put my life down on paper
I'll sketch it scene by scene
Paint the people and the places
Red to show the bad times, blue, the smiles
Please hold the line
While we try to forget you
That or hold on tight
Please hold the line
While we try to forget you
Next time you're walking by my side
Take a look at our feet reflecting in the glass
See how our strides are perfectly in time
And ask yourself if the little things make you smile
They make me smile
You make me smile
Hold on
Please hold the line
While we try to forget you
That or hold on tight
Please hold the line
While we try to forget you
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, on
Hold on, hold on, hold on...
Hold on, hold on, hold on...
Hold on
Hold on, hold on!
Hold on, hold on!
Hold on, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on, hold on
Let's push our things onto the floor
Let's clear our beds, we're gonna need them
We'll be fine when the morning sun kneels down
And gently kisses both our foreheads
Ba ba da da da da
So sing with me
Ba ba da da da da
The songs we used to sing
They were our best loved goodnight tales
As shadows run to the hills
We'll whisper, "wake up sleepyhead"
It's you and me and this daydream makes three
Oh God, I'm clever
Ba ba da da da da
So sing with me
Ba ba da da da da
The songs we used to sing
They were our best loved goodnight tales
As shadows run to the hills
We'll all yell, "wake up sleepyhead"
Please turn over then you can go right back
To the matinee showing
It might be amateurly played out
But it's got so much fucking soul
That you might never have known
Ba ba da da da da
So sing with me
Ba ba da da da da
The songs we used to sing
They were our best loved goodnight tales
They were our best loved goodnight tales
These are our best loved goodnight tales
I said it before so I won't say it again
But here's Sarah to instead:
"Wake up sleepyhead"
