He said, "Can you hear it?"
The sound of summer running fast
She sidesteps the ground we sleep on

Somehow follows me, but still takes the lead

So open up your ears

But please don't speak
I'll try to put my life down on paper
I'll sketch it scene by scene

Paint the people and the places
Red to show the bad times, blue, the smiles


Please hold the line
While we try to forget you
That or hold on tight

Please hold the line
While we try to forget you


Next time you're walking by my side
Take a look at our feet reflecting in the glass
See how our strides are perfectly in time

And ask yourself if the little things make you smile
They make me smile
You make me smile

Hold on

Please hold the line

While we try to forget you
That or hold on tight
Please hold the line

While we try to forget you

Hold on, hold on


Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, on

Hold on, hold on, hold on...
Hold on, hold on, hold on...
Hold on


Hold on, hold on!
Hold on, hold on!


Hold on, hold on
Hold on

Hold on
Hold on, hold on


Let's push our things onto the floor
Let's clear our beds, we're gonna need them
We'll be fine when the morning sun kneels down

And gently kisses both our foreheads

Ba ba da da da da

So sing with me
Ba ba da da da da
The songs we used to sing

They were our best loved goodnight tales
As shadows run to the hills
We'll whisper, "wake up sleepyhead"


It's you and me and this daydream makes three
Oh God, I'm clever


Ba ba da da da da
So sing with me

Ba ba da da da da
The songs we used to sing
They were our best loved goodnight tales

As shadows run to the hills
We'll all yell, "wake up sleepyhead"


Please turn over then you can go right back
To the matinee showing
It might be amateurly played out

But it's got so much $#&@ing soul
That you might never have known

Ba ba da da da da
So sing with me

Ba ba da da da da
The songs we used to sing
They were our best loved goodnight tales
They were our best loved goodnight tales
These are our best loved goodnight tales

I said it before so I won't say it again
But here's Sarah to instead:
"Wake up sleepyhead"
