Five Years

Hey baby come down for a while
I need you to turn and award me a smile
There's a spot here by my side.

Hey babe can we drift for a while
Watch as the shadows bleed into night
There's a few more hours of light.

Seems to me you're treading water
Seems to me you're hoping a lot
I'm looking forward baby less than I look back
To find out what it takes to make you smile
To bring you back here safely for a while.

It's been five years and I've been calling
It's been five years of looking back
It's been five years of wanting only what you lack.

It's time for you to turn and count your stock
It's time for you to realise what you've got.

Hey baby come down for a while
I need you to turn and award me a smile
There's a spot here by my side.

Hey babe can you prove to yourself
What you're straining to measure to everyone else
Cause you're oh so close to the wire.

Seems to me you're bailing water
Seems to me you're losing the lot
I'm looking forward baby less than I look back
To find out what it takes to make you smile
To bring you back here safely for a while.

It's been five years and I've been calling
It's been five years of looking back
It's been five years of wanting only what you lack.

It's time for you to turn and count your stock
It's time for you to free me from this lot
It's time for you to turn and count your stock
It's time for you to realise what you've got.
