Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Distant flickerings, greener scenery
This weather's bringing it all back again
Great adventures, faces in condensation
I'm going outside and take it all in
[Chorus]
You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this
[Verse 2]
Wear a different pair, do something out of step
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile
With big intention, still posted at your station
Always on about the day, it should have flied
[Chorus]
You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this
[Chorus]
Afraid to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this
[Bridge]
You've been walking, you've been hiding
And you look half-dead half the time
Monitoring you, like machines do
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
You've been walking, you've been hiding
And you look half-dead half the time
Monitoring you, like machines do
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
[Chorus]
You know you're better than this
[Chorus]
Can't make a start
Got your heart in a headlock
No, I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this
[Outro]
Afraid to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this
