Welcome To The Overground - Badly Drawn Boy

Start your fires

This is the overground

It’s inside us

Welcome to the overground

You need reminding

Remember this is your destiny

Think of what’s in front of you now

Not of what’s been left behind

Come on, saviour

Save us now there is no time to rewind

Simple pleasures, to be found

If you reach the overground

Sunshine, rainfall, making love

You see a rainbow

The streets are changing now

Try other avenues

Make a new map of the world

Decide on where to go

Suddenly, we sense a new day

The feeling just comes over you

No false gods left for us to pray to

Darling, it’s just me and you

Sunshine, rainfall

Make a rainbow

Please don’t follow us

You mean so much to us

Start your fires

This is the overground

Sunshine, rainfall

You see a rainbow

Streets of fire

Try other avenues

It’s inside us

Welcome to the overground

If we go our separate ways

The road will lead us back around

Even in a matter of days

We’ll see you on the overground

Journey from A to B

I measured the distance from Heaven to Hell

How will we do only time will tell

Oh when you stop worrying

What anyone says doesn’t mean a thing

Just tell me you’re feeling it

And you’re not disbelieving it

I’ll pay you in kind or silver and gold

I want to ignore all the stories untold

Make me an offer I cannot refuse

You know if I win then that means you lose

Just say you believe in it

That you’re not, not feeling it

Dwelling on the memories

Is such a waste of energy

It’s simple when you see it in front of you

On walls, in bedrooms

Hold you’re head up higher

Don’t tell me you’re not strong enough

If your journey’s over

I hope you feel that I am the one

Only time will tell

Just say you’ll be loving me

For an eternity

Oh I feel tired of all of these games

Everywhere, everything is the same

Tell me you’ll promise you might come with me

The start of a Journey from A to B

I’ll be happy to carry you

Even though I know I haven’t got the strength to hold you

I need you more than ever before

If our journey’s over

I hope that you will find someone who will love you more

Now not for the first time

What I want might not be mine

If you say you won’t come along

Then I know I can’t go it alone
