Precious Time Lyrics - Colour It In - Maccabees

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek 

Cheek paler than the lamp-light 

Take me down to light the box 

And play Super Scalextrics 

You turn to this darkness 

Into light and you'll turn too bright 

Forget all the hype 

I'll need heart and you'll need courage 

We all need 

Toe to toe, nowhere to go 

So, I'm tiptoein' around it 

I held you down and I held my own 

Now, I feel like I'm floating 

So turn to this head on 

And keep on 

Keeping on 

And 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 awaitin'? 

You hold yourself up and you hold yourself in 

And pray that you're growing 

And you turn to this darkness 

You turn it into light and then you'll turn to fight 

Forget all the hype 

And 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 

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 

'Cause time can mean so much 

Are you still mine?
