Are you blue do you feel that it’s helpless, is the weight of the world too much
Do you remember the days when we played now, Can you focus on my face
Make sure that you concentrate hard enough; I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost you
You and I lying on the pavement, Making faces till the sirens come.
We’re hit and we’re going down, it’s mayday, what a bad day
Spinning round and out of control, Keep calm now, don’t run out
Of wise words to calm us down, I’m fearful, it’s not near now
It’s not as bad as you think it is, if you still pray, please pray now.
Still remember the smell of the wet leaves, rainwater soaking through our clothes
It’s really easy to forget bad details, really hard to remember your face
(Chorus)
Make sure that you look both ways now that we don’t come to any harm
I’m glad that we all came through this, with scars to keep us safe.
We’re hit and we’re going down, it’s mayday, what a bad day
Spinning round and out of control, Keep calm now, don’t run out
Of wise words to calm us down, I’m fearful, it’s not near now
It’s not as bad as you think it is, if you still pray, please pray now.
You and I lying on the pavement, Chalk outlines in our minds
It’s not as bad as we think it is, Please trust me don’t trust him
Our voices in the back of our minds, it’s echoes they’re not real
Make sense of a really strange dream, please wake up, please.....
