lyrics

Eyes awake too busy doing overtime
Now I see what happens on the borderline
But its the call out to someone on the day you almost died
Your lifelines bold, no reason to be satisfied

Nights draw in but it doesn't mean a thing to you
A care free plan to qualify for a thank you
But its the call out to someone when theres no-one to call home
A sunrise slowly taking in the thunderbolt

Forget these faces, it doesn't make a lot of sense
When everyone's just wishing you all the best
For its the tall ones above you who'll do anything to know
Why you're shrinking underneath the microscope

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
When daylight comes you try to move away from it
It's the call out to someone in the darkest candlelight
Your lifelines bold, no reason to say goodnight

And how i knew from just the way you joke, I'll never hold it over you
But if I do, well there's a time to change, I'm having me an afterglow

Eyes awake too busy doing overtime
Now I see what happens on the borderline
But its the call out to someone on the day you almost died
Your lifelines bold, no reason to be satisfied
