It's all there underneath, everything we'll ever need
You and I
Look around and you will see broken minds and shattered dreams
Wasted time

It's such a long shot, everything that we've got
Just living on this rock surrounded by the sea
With our shoes off, balancing on roof tops
You put your faith in preachers, I put my faith in me
VERSE 2:
Given time, we could've seen all the things he could have been
If he tried
But he settled for the English dream, bathed in mediocracy
Stood in line
