Precious Time

Precious Time - The 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
