Lyrics Precious Time - The Maccabees

Precious Time

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek
Cheek paler than the lamp light
Take me down to light the box
We’ll play Super Scalextrics
Turn to this
Darkness
Into light and then I’ll turn too bright
The better for hype
I’ll need heart and you’ll need courage
We all need
Toe to toe, 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 then keep on
Keeping on
I’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 nobody knows
If there’s somebody waiting?
You’ll hold yourself up and you’ll hold yourself in
And pray that you’re growing
And you turn to this
Darkness
You turn it into light and then you’ll turn too bright
The better for hype
I’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
Let’s take our precious time about it
Let’s take our precious time about
'Cos we’ll need heart and we’ll need courage
In these times
We’ll need heart and we’ll need courage
In these times
'Cos time can mean so much
Are you still mine?
