[Verse 1]
Counting back the days
When we would run away
And swear until our graves
Not to change who we are for anyone
It feels like so far ago now love
'Cause nothing ever sticks
It's all remiss
Why can't I resist hitting 26
It hit me like a ton of bricks
Maybe I should roll with it
'Cause I've got mine (I've got mine)
And you've got yours (And you've got yours)
I'm learning all the time
How to grow a little more
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, we don't need to see another innocent life lost
So blame it on the people with the prejudiced minds' fault
That don't mean you can get away by posting up a black box
It's hard to speak up, what have I got?
[Chorus]
People need the room to breathe
And not be left out on the street
Now how can you say "It don't affect me"
Is this life now, on repeat?
[Verse 2]
Counting back the days
Since we've been locked away
It feels like something's changed
And I don't know where you've gone
Tell me somehow you'll cope
[Pre-Chorus]
Time goes out like a light that's flashing by
And turning a little bit more monochrome each time it comes around
So before you end up lying there stone cold
Please remember that it only takes one to show that it's not the end so
What's the answer?
[Chorus]
People need the room to breathe
And not be left out on the street
Now how can you say "It don't affect me"
Is this life now, on repeat?
[Bridge]
I don't need to feel like I'm a rolling stone
Fading out, changing tones
A perfect imposition of the sun's setting light
But I'm better red than dead
The colour's in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, we don't need to see another innocent life lost
So before you end up lying there stone cold
Please believe and remember that it only takes one to show that it's not the end so (It's not miles away, got to corroborate, ask for any information)
What's the answer? (We gotta make a change)
[Chorus]
People need the room to breathe
And not be left out on the street
Now how can you say "It don't affect me"
Is this life now, on repeat?
Counting back the days
When we would run away
And swear until our graves
Not to change who we are for anyone
It feels like so far ago now love
'Cause nothing ever sticks
It's all remiss
Why can't I resist hitting 26
It hit me like a ton of bricks
Maybe I should roll with it
'Cause I've got mine (I've got mine)
And you've got yours (And you've got yours)
I'm learning all the time
