[Intro-Chorus]
It's just what all young lovers do
It's just what all young lovers do

[Verse]
I noticed you
You stood out like a sore thumb
The most
Beautiful sore thumb I'd ever seen
I took you out
And showed you a good time
We danced all night
And I waited till the time was right when

[Pre-Chorus]
I was almost sick on you
Echo Echo of mine

[Verse]
Do you recall
The night that we first met
And how I burnt your dress
With my cigarette
I don't know why
But I played this game
For you
I'm guessing it's just what all young lovers do

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
That it's never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Echo Echo of mine

[Bridge]
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right
Never wrong never right

[Chorus]
So echo on
Echo on
Echo on
Echo

It's just what all young lovers do
It's just what all young lovers do
It's just what all young lovers do
It's just what all young lovers do

[Verse]
I'm struggling, struggling, I can't pick up my feet
And my head's down, my head's down, nothing to motivate me
And my feet hurt, my feet hurt, now they are starting to sting
And I'm wishing, I'm wishing that I stopped this misery

[Chorus]
I've stumbled, I'm in a bottomless pit
My spirit's broken and now I'm in for it
Can I be honest, I've never felt so shit
When I get back up, I'm gonna need some help

[Verse]
Chin up now, chin up now, I am starting to feel
You're pushing me, pulling me up this steep, bleak hill
We're getting there, getting there, still a long way to go
You're pushing through, pushing through, through the thickest of snow

[Chorus]
I've climbed it, I've conquered Mount Everest
And now I'm dizzy, the world's at my feet
Can I be honest, it was a piece of piss
Hurdles are easy, when you're next to me

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
I've stumbled, I'm in a bottomless pit
My spirit's broken and now I'm in for it
Can I be honest, I've never felt so shit
When I get back up, I'm gonna need some help

I've climbed it, I've conquered Mount Everest
And now I'm dizzy, the world's at my feet
Can I be honest, it was a piece of piss
Hurdles are easy, when you're next to me

[Verse]
I changed my name, I changed my name
And for you I'd do it all again
I played your game, I played your game
But I've only got myself to blame

You led me on, you led me on
You're in the wrong, you're in the wrong

[Chorus]
Hold out for love,
It's not enough,
I've prayed for you and I'd die for you
Nothing left to do now it's broken through
Hold out for love

[Verse]
I've been knocked down, I've been knocked down
So many times before
This one stands out, this one stands out
That's why I'm banging on your door tonight

You led me on, you led me on
You're in the wrong, you're in the wrong

[Chorus]
Hold out for love,
It's not enough,
I've prayed for you and I'd die for you
Nothing left to do now it's broken through
Hold out for love

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Hold out for love,
It's not enough,
I've prayed for you and I'd die for you
Nothing left to do now it's broken through
Hold out for love

[Intro]
Daytime T.V. for the third day now
Tried to ring my friends, no one's around
These invitations passed me by somehow
Time off work, boredom's getting me down

[Verse]
This programme's not doing its job
The screen starts to make my head throb
The circle it keeps going round
Comes back to me feeling so down

[Chorus]
Now I'm isolated, start to feel frustrated
Busy concentrating, now I've been left out
Suffocated, it's asphyxiating
Somebody needs to help me escape
I'm isolated, start to feel frustrated
Busy concentrating, now I've been left out
Suffocated, it's asphyxiating
Somebody needs to help me escape this house

[Verse]
I'm getting so fed up of this
I'd rather give this one a miss
They must think that I'm such a clown
Still here, I'm still feeling so down

[Chorus]
I'm still isolated, start to feel frustrated
Busy concentrating, now I've been left out
Suffocated, it's asphyxiating
Somebody needs to help me escape
I'm isolated, start to feel frustrated
Busy concentrating, now I've been left out
Suffocated, it's asphyxiating
Somebody needs to help me escape this house

[Bridge]
And I'm tired, bored
Desperate, ignored
Feel like I've lost my mind and I'm assured

[Chorus]
I'll be isolated, start to feel frustrated
Busy concentrating, now I've been left out
Suffocated, it's asphyxiating
Somebody needs to help me escape
I'm isolated, start to feel frustrated
Busy concentrating, now I've been left out
Suffocated, it's asphyxiating
Somebody needs to help me escape this house

[Verse]
I find myself alone with you
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do?
This situation's far too new
I've got something to prove

[Chorus]
This event
I've dreamt about it in my head
Knees are weak
It took so long for you to see
I laid the bait
Still I have to lie in wait
It's down to you
And I'm about to blow my fuse

[Verse]
I'll go for it I'll brace for impact
And pray that I leave this place intact
This shuttle's ready for our lift-off
See the stars, girl, you've got to trust

[Chorus]
This event
I've dreamt about it in my head
Knees are weak
It took so long for you to see
I laid the bait
Still I have to lie in wait
It's down to you
And I'm about to blow my fuse

[Bridge]

[Chorus x 2]
This event
I've dreamt about it in my head
Knees are weak
It took so long for you to see
I laid the bait
Still I have to lie in wait
It's down to you
And I'm about to blow my fuse
