Artist: Editors
Album: An End Has A Start (2007)

Intro:     (x2)

                     
Buildings in clouds here
                      
Our time and our place dear
                    
There's life in us yet love
                         
These walls we will climb above
                 
We really our ants now
                   
Escape the nest somehow
              
I ache for a feeling
                           
You came and you poured it in, 
   repeat intro
it in.

                     
Buildings in clouds here
                      
Our time and our place dear
                    
There's life in us yet love
                            
These walls we will climb above, 
 repet intro
above.

     
Look up
                             
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
                         
You hear the clocks counting down,
                              
The nights are longer now than ever before,
                                repeat intro
But now you see the lights from the town.


                       
I am drained and I am empty
                      
I've still got love in me
                      
There's eyes in the sky tonight
                
Watching us lose the fight
                 
We really are ants now
                   
Escape the nest somehow
              
I ache for a feeling

                           
You came and you poured it in, 
   repeat intro
it in.

     
Look up
                             
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
                         
You hear the clocks counting down,
                              
The nights are longer now than ever before,
                                repeat intro (x2)
But now you see the lights from the town.

You hear the clocks counting down,
                              
The nights are longer now than ever before,
                              repeat intro (x4)
But now you see the lights of the town.
