Maccabees Precious Time Lyrics

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek
Cheek paler than a lamp light
Take me down to light the box
And play super Scalectrix

And turn this, 
Darkness
Into light, and I'll turn too bright 
Forget all the hype 

I'll need heart and I'll need courage 
We all need... 

Toe to toe, there's nowhere to go 
So I'm tiptoeing around it 
I held you down and I held my own 
And now I feel like I'm floating 

So turn to this 
Head on 
And keep on 
Keeping on 

You'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, well god only knows. 
Is there somebody waiting' 
So you'll hold yourself up and you'll hold yourself in 
And then pray that you are growing 

And turn this, 
Darkness 
Into light, and I'll turn too bright 
Forget all the hype 

You'll need heart and I'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 it 
Let's take our precious time about 

You'll need heart and you'll need courage 
In these times 
You'll need heart and you'll need courage 
In these times 
Because time can mean so much 
Are you still mine
