Long shot

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.
But I don´t mind loosing sleep,
Squeezing through the cracks between,
Day and night.
[Chorus:]
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 rooftops,
You put your faith in preachers,
I put my faith in me.
Given time we could´ve seen,
All the things he could´ve been,
If he´d tried.
But he settled for the English dream,
Lived in mediocrity,
Stood in line.
But that´s not enough for me,
I will kick and I will scream,
Tell you why.
[Chorus]
I don´t wanna waste your time
I don´t wanna waste your time
[Chorus x2]
Everything we´ll ever need,
You and I.
Look around and you will see,
Broken minds and shattered dreams,
Wasted time.
But I don´t mind loosing sleep,
Squeezing through the cracks between,
Day and night.
[Chorus:]
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 rooftops,
You put your faith in preachers,
I put my faith in me.
Given time we could´ve seen,
All the things he could´ve been,
If he´d tried.
But he settled for the English dream,
Lived in mediocrity,
Stood in line.
But that´s not enough for me,
I will kick and I will scream,
Tell you why.
[Chorus]
I don´t wanna waste your time
I don´t wanna waste your time
[Chorus x2]
