Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Distant flickerings, greener scenery

This weather's bringing it all back again

Great adventures, faces, and 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]

We're 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
