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 Scalectrix

And turn to this
Darkness into light
And 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
Now I feel like I'm floating

So turn to this head on
And 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 turn to this
Darkness, you turn it into light
And then you'll turn too bright
The better for hype

And 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

'Cause we'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times
We'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times

'Cause time can mean so much
Are you still mine?
