Like a moth to an old flame, the frost to a shiver
As a lover sings, a letdown delivers
Rose-tinted hearts attack
You go there once and you don't come back boy
The list goes on life's in my way
Maybe I'm ungrateful, I reap just what I sow
You know that once my aim was true for you
Till sunshine turned to snow
And I can't shake the feeling
And the house is always freezing so I
Step back (step up)
Hold tight (hold on)
Burst into the night
And we can hold hands
And we could send letters
And I'll always fall short
And you could do much better if I had some money
D'ya think that it would change?
Surprised at just how long it took
But life gets in the way, gets in the way
You just sit pretty and I'll do the talking
The rest ran riot whilst I was walking
Happiness is an inside job
Stand on your own or you blend with the mob, boy
The list goes on life's in my way
Maybe I'm just selfish
Or maybe I've got it sussed
Cos I know all your twenty pantomimes
And I'd rather fold than push
And I kept all my seventeen
And I cashed out for a flush so I'll
Step back (step up)
Hold tight (hold on)
I'll put up a fight
And we can hold hands
And we could send letters
And I'll always fall short
And you could do much better if I had some money
D'ya think that it would change?
Surprised at just how long it took
But life gets in the way, gets in the way
We can hold hands
And we could send letters
And I'll always fall short
And you could do much better if I had some money
D'ya think that it would change?
Surprised at just how long it took
But life gets in the way, gets in the way
