Bridge 1
Fm
No-one 'round here's good
at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up

when we're walking home

Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises
We'll always win at this

We gladiate, but I guess
we're really fighting ourselves
Roughin' up our minds so we're ready

Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
"Secretly you love this
do you even wanna go free?"
Let me in the ring
