lyrics
v1:
You can try to go underground
Disappear for the moment
It's your life, so own it // it's your life
-----
Go ahead and make your sound
Even out of habit
It's your day, so grab it // this time
ch:
And it all comes down to the wire
v2:
You thought about giving more
Let the world know
Beg, steal, or borrow // once again
-----
So what's worth living for
Love or money
Milk & honey // for the win
ch:
And it all comes down to the wire
It all comes down to the fire inside
The engine hums and stars collide for you
v3:
Even though the day is dark
It's not yet over
You could duck & cover // or not
-----
You might feel you're marked
With the sign of sorrow
You can't wait 'til tomorrow // so you thought
ch:
And it all comes down to the wire
It all comes down to the fire inside
The engine hums and stars collide for you
br:
It feels like it's over // It feels like it's over
It feels like it's over // It feels like it's over
But it's not over
-- solo --
ch:
And it all comes down to the wire
It all comes down to the fire inside
The engine hums and stars collide for you
