Headlock lyrics

Distant flickering, it's greener scenery

This weather's bringing it all back again

Great adventures, faces and condensation

I'm going outside and take it all in

You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock

I don't believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock

You know you're better than this.

We're a different pair, just something out of step

Throw a stranger an unexpected smile... with big intention

Still posted at your station

Always on about the day it should have flown

You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock

I don't believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock

You know you're better than this.

Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,

I don't believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,

You know you're better than this.

Been walking, you've been hidding

And you look half dead half the time

Monitoring you, like machines do

You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye

Been walking, you've been hidding

And you look half dead half the time

Monitoring you, like machines do

You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye

You know you're better than this

I'll make you start, got your heart in a headlock,

I don't believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,

You know you're better than this.

Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock,

I don't believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,

You know you're better than this.
