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're really fighting ourselves
Roughin' up our minds so we're ready

"Secretly you love this
do you even wanna go free?"
Let me in the ring
