Lyrics Welcome To The Overground - Badly Drawn Boy

Welcome To The Overground

Start your fires
This is the overground
It’s inside us
Welcome to the overground
You need reminding
Remember this is your destiny
Think of what’s in front of you now
Not of what’s been left behind
Come on, saviour
Save us now there is no time to rewind
Simple pleasures, to be found
If you reach the overground
Sunshine, rainfall, making love
You see a rainbow
The streets are changing now
Try other avenues
Make a new map of the world
Decide on where to go
Suddenly, we sense a new day
The feeling just comes over you
No false gods left for us to pray to
Darling, it’s just me and you
Sunshine, rainfall
Make a rainbow
Please don’t follow us
You mean so much to us
Start your fires
This is the overground
Sunshine, rainfall
You see a rainbow
Streets of fire
Try other avenues
It’s inside us
Welcome to the overground
If we go our separate ways
The road will lead us back around
Even in a matter of days
We’ll see you on the overground
Journey from A to B
I measured the distance from Heaven to Hell
How will we do only time will tell
Oh when you stop worrying
What anyone says doesn’t mean a thing
Just tell me you’re feeling it
And you’re not disbelieving it
I’ll pay you in kind or silver and gold
I want to ignore all the stories untold
Make me an offer I cannot refuse
You know if I win then that means you lose
Just say you believe in it
That you’re not, not feeling it
Dwelling on the memories
Is such a waste of energy
It’s simple when you see it in front of you
On walls, in bedrooms
Hold you’re head up higher
Don’t tell me you’re not strong enough
If your journey’s over
I hope you feel that I am the one
Only time will tell
Just say you’ll be loving me
For an eternity
Oh I feel tired of all of these games
Everywhere, everything is the same
Tell me you’ll promise you might come with me
The start of a Journey from A to B
I’ll be happy to carry you
Even though I know I haven’t got the strength to hold you
I need you more than ever before
If our journey’s over
I hope that you will find someone who will love you more
Now not for the first time
What I want might not be mine
If you say you won’t come along
Then I know I can’t go it alone
