Right from the start
Slow, steady hand
When I drive you crazy
You lean into the bends.
Lights overhead
Playing hide and seek
Sweet illumination
Always out of reach.

And it's the simplest case
Of knowing when to wait & when to jump
You even said it yourself
It's a long way down
You could be living out dreams
Insurance schemes you need & you won't let go
You could be telling yourself this
Even now.

You're running late
I'm catching up
Sticking to the bed-sheets
You'll never make the bus.
Straight to my head
You're in my blood
Seven years of bad luck
Washed up in the flood.

And it's the simplest case
Of knowing when to wait & when to jump
You even said it yourself
It's a long way down
You could be living out dreams
Insurance schemes you need & you won't let go
You could be telling yourself this
Even now
