lyrics

CHORUS
I’m still hanging on for love
I still haven’t lost my faith
I still reckon anything at all could happen
And it's only a miracle away
I’m still hanging on for love
Even if I’m in last place
Still convinced that I've got a winning ticket
And I've still got a dog in this race

VERSE
Today I woke up and I just decided
I’d spend the day in bed and find a way to justify it
Is it illness or exhaustion?
Am I still a little hoarse from
That cold from weeks ago?
Am I milking it?
Well of course
But if the truth be told
I’m totally unmotivated
I’m thinking getting up and
getting dressed is overrated
This is no behaviour to adopt
at this stage of your life
My journal of happy thoughts
reads like a stranger's advice
And I don’t trust anything
Except what my head is thinking right now
It's telling me turn the lights out
Shut the curtains and lie down
And sort your fucking life out
Whoops
Let's ignore that
Load Netflix, that’ll sort that
Take a short nap
Wake up
Check the forecast
There’s a chance of rain?
Well that's a shame
I was gonna go for a run
But I guess that my plans have changed
I’ll just stay here
Where it's cloudy but consistent at least
Where the apathy is so still
I can be convinced that it’s peace

CHORUS
I’m still hanging on for love
I Still haven’t lost my faith
I still reckon anything at all could happen
And it's only a miracle away
I’m still hanging on for love
Even if I’m in last place
Still convinced that I've got a winning ticket
And I've still got a dog in this race

VERSE
You are such a useless bastard
Look at your music
You blew the opportunities you had
Now you are past it
Nobody cares about you
Sure, your friends pretend to do
When they’re around you
Only coz they don’t dare to doubt you
You narcissistic arsehole
You fraud
Your confidence is artistic bravado
Slow clap
Bravo
They see through that veneer
They don’t believe in your performance
So don’t expect support or to receive
Any endorsements
Coz all you are is a small boy
In a man’s costume
You offer the world nothing
And all you do is consume
Today
You’re gonna stay
In this one room
Listen to me
Do not move
Don’t disagree
I am the one truth
You are just a failure
Destined to be crushed
Under the weight of disappointment
Now I hope you feel the push
Of the pressure on your chest
And you’re breathless
And it's too much
And then all of the stress
Causes an adrenaline rush
And the whole things so exhausting
The only thing that you’re feeling
Is laying down and counting
the paint chips on this ceiling
Yeah
There you go
Relax
Breathe
And don’t worry
I'll keep you company
Just close your curtains
Lay down
You’re not going anywhere today

CHORUS
I’m still hanging on for love
I Still haven’t lost my faith
I still reckon anything at all could happen
And it's only a miracle away
I’m still hanging on for love
Even if I’m in last place
Still convinced that I've got a winning ticket
And I've still got a dog in this race

Darling, I though you’d know by now

Oh still I believe in you
Oh Still I believe it could come true
Oh still I believe in you
Oh Still I believe it could come true
