A shot in the dark marks the start of everything beautiful It's never overthought, how could you think up the unthinkable Whatever life throws, whatever it is let it go 'Cos it's no good on your mind so Half of what I said goes out the back window When it comes to my actions Words are so easily said but not so easily done I've been busy looking back When i should have let myself off But i couldn't have, i couldn't have I always open my gob When i shouldn't have, no i shouldn't have Then on one summer's night Life aligns and the beauty overbears you If you know that somethings right Do it. Live it. Feel it. Take the air in I should have let myself off But I couldn't have, I couldn't have I always open my gob When I shouldn't have, no I shouldn't have Leaving was on the tip of my tongue But I stuck about, like I wouldn't have As I thought I'd done you wrong But I mustn't have, no I mustn't have It's like I'd ever want to It's not the the point where we fall through It's just a tiny crack, minor setbacks We could spend the whole night Looking after our insides But what's the fun in that Oh what's the fun in that On the coolest foggy of Saturday nights See someone standing but surely you're not there Now it's a Tuesday morning at dizzy new heights Feel something rushing I think that I might care I should have let myself off But I couldn't have, I couldn't have I always open my gob When i shouldn't have, but this time I mustn't have And it's like I'd ever want to It's not the the point where we fall through It's just a tiny crack, all my minor setbacks We could spend the whole night Just looking after our insides But what's the fun in that Oh what's the fun in that
