Headlock

Distant flickering, greener scenery,
This weather's bringing it all back again.
Great adventures, faces, and conversation,
I'm going outside to 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, do 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 flied.

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 hiding
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye.

I've been walking, you've been hiding
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.
