Make it up, colour in reality
Blow it up, wander off into the sea
’Cause you’re wondering, ‘Can anybody see in the dark?’
Lock it up, fire on, throw away the key

You recognise (Writing letters to forever)
Open eyes (Making errors makes it better)

Looking up, try to walk backwards
No one talk until we go forwards
We backfire running away from the day
We go faster ’cause we like it better this way
Cooking up, in a box – fakers
Build it up when we go later
We backfire running away from the day
We go faster ’cause we like it better this way

Take a pen, write your name on to the sky
Count to ten, listen to life going by
’Cause you’re holding on to silver paper, won’t let it go
Try again; you can do a better goodbye

You recognise (Writing letters to forever)
Open eyes (Making errors makes it better)

Looking up, try to walk backwards
No one talk until we go forwards
We backfire running away from the day
We go faster ’cause we like it better this way
Cooking up, in a box ¬– fakers
Build it up when we go later
We backfire running away from the day
We go faster ’cause we like it better this way

Collect them how you know, the lesson’s learned, can only make the letters go
To have been somebody who opened their eyes to see the fire lighting up

Looking up, try to walk backwards
No one talk until we go forwards
We backfire running away from the day
We go faster ’cause we like it better this way
Cooking up, in a box – fakers
Build it up when we go later
We backfire running away from the day
We go faster ’cause we like it better this way
