I'm on a small grey smudge of a planet
And it's spinning out of control
It's not the way I would have planned it
If I had the self-control

Say you do, you know you do
But then you never
You never get it right
You take your time, an hour or two
And then together
We fall apart or we fight

Do you believe it's comforting?
Do you believe it's comforting?
When other worlds around you turn
And beg to follow you
They tremble in their heels
Tremble in your heels
And say start again
Say start again

Under moonlight, bright as a searchlight
I said, "Come on, come on, let's go"
But by daylight, blasted bleach white
And we'll never, never find our way back home

Say you do, you know you do
But then you never
You never get it right
You take your time, an hour or two
And then together
We fall apart or we fight

Do you believe it's comforting?
To keep the planet orbiting?
And other stars around us burn
And beg to follow you
I tremble in your heels
And kicking off your heels
You said start again
Let's start again

I'm on a small grey smudge of a planet
And it's spinning
